Wild Postcards

This card from Dustin in Albuquerque is pretty much self-explanatory; the odd thing is that this card was intended for use in the People’s Republic of China.  Being a fan of Mariah Carey, Dustin was lucky enough to receive this from another Postcrosser.  I hope he didn’t send me his only copy!  Looks like the Chinese have indeed embraced the free market; the card was manufactured by Oriental City Publishing Group Limited.

Here’s a little chuckle for your Friday.  This is an arcade card, which was a prize that one might win at a carnival or down the shore after beating some mechanical test of strength or skill.  The card is made from heavy stock, and the back of the card is blank.

Kudos to the caddie for his honesty — but she’ll never get her stance right if she insists on teeing off in heels.

One is forced to “wonder” if the Red Queen is lecturing Alice on her appearance, in this take on John Tenniel’s original illustration.  I’m sure that Lewis Carroll would strongly disapprove; his tastes ran to prepubescent girls.

Ellepibi sent in this card from “sunny Southern California”; I find it very uplifting.  One would think that, given the economy, the Wonderbra might be making strides against breast implants in Los Angeles, but Google says that’s not so.  The biggest surprise: as of this writing, LA is ninth on the list of US cities searching for information on breast implants.  Number one?  Salt Lake City.

According to the back of this Postcrossing card from Taru, “the bath whisk of birch twigs must be soft and warm.”  See, honey?  This postcard is educational!  Actually, the missus had a few comments on this young lady’s physique, but she has nothing to worry about.

The description is also published in Finnish — “Saunavihdan haudutus” — which, as I recall, is the spell that Harry and Ron tried to use in Book 5 to lure Hermione into the steam room at Hogwarts.
