Personals

In the pre-digital age, the Personals column was the financial backbone to many periodicals, and were tucked away within its back pages. These adverts (small ads) were the place to find your heart's desires and/or fill your craven lusts of all things naughty. It was all there for the curious and the interested amongst us to view. Amongst the mundane and the unoriginal adverts, one could find adverts which reveal honest and intimate information. Each advert carried its own level of optimism and hope, whether it was from the advertiser or the seeker. Both wanted some control and change to invade their lives, and the personal column becomes the place to find your heart's desires and to fill your craven lusts It's all there for the curious and interested amongst us.

Personal adverts and their appeal continue to thrive in all mediums and are universal, even if the language is foreign, the meaning remains the same.

Here Steve DT focuses on adverts from woman; their searches, desires, wants and peccadilloes, and provides his own interpretation of them. Here, as in the press, by listing and numbering the adverts, the unknown becomes erotically engaging and their availability is assured.
