This advert for road safety strikes me as quintessentially British. Sexual innuendo, double entendres and weirdness in seemingly normal suburbs are a big part of British culture and humor. Road safety and kink aren’t obvious companions, but go ahead and click the link and you’ll see why I featured it. It puts me in mind of Personal Services, a British movie from the 80’s about commercial sex, kink and suburban strangeness. The scenes in the film bear no relationship to any kind of sex work I’ve ever encountered, but it is pretty funny, as this set of clips demonstrate.
While I’m on the subject of advertisements and motorbikes, am I the only submissive male around here with a crush on Carly Foulkes, the girl from the T-Mobile ads? I always kind of liked her in the early pink look adverts, and throwing on motorcycle leathers only added to the allure. There’s something very sexy about a girl who can ride a bike or drive fast. A skintight leather suit doesn’t hurt either. I’ll leave you with a picture of the beautiful Ms Foulkes herself.
Hi, i love your blog and read it most days. This post bought back memories of actually going to Cynthia Paynes house many years ago! Keep up the great writing..
Hey subray,
It’s comments like this that really make my blogging day! Here’s me sitting in Seattle posting random stuff I find and odd connections I make, and then somebody drops by who actually went to Cynthia Paynes house. The internet is a wonderful thing. I’d love to hear the background story on how you met her and what it was like. If you want to drop me an email or leave a comment I’d be fascinated to hear a bit more.
Glad you enjoy the blog. I’ll try to keep it interesting!
