My friend Stella in Switzerland found this advertising postcard in Italy, which reads “Ora puoi farti vedere da tutti” — “Now you can show yourself to everybody”. Now, it’s not that uncommon to see advertising with tattoos in it of course, so what I’m really loving is that it’s got a gay bear spin on it!

I love it! Big ol’ modded bear…with a teacup. Being very proper and sticking his pinky out, of course. ^_^

I saw a Nabisco cracker ad in the People magazine a few weeks ago, and the lady had stretched ear lobes. They weren’t giant, maybe a 4 or 2 gauge, but it made me smile none the less.

Guess it’s just that I only speak English and Asian languages, but Italian words always sound humorous to me. “farti”, “tutti”…Or maybe it’s the association with tutti-frutti-flavoured ice cream.

Good to see Barry (Hogarth, Happy Sailor Tattoo, Stratford, London) being as happy with tea as his tattoos. It’s as well there was some white on the teacup – it virtually blended in with the rest of the artwork!
