Often tucked away within the back pages of many periodicals are the Classified Ads, and more specifically, those of the Personal adverts. These have become the backbone for many publications, whilst earning a buck. The Personals bring local colour. The column is the place to find your heart’s desires and/or fill your craven lusts of all things deliciously naughty. It’s all there for the curious and interested amongst us. Amongst the mundane and the unoriginal, one can find adverts which reveal honest and intimate information. Each advert carries its own level of optimism and hope, whether it’s from the advertiser or the seeker. Both want some control and change to invade their lives. The personal column becomes the place to find your heart's desires and 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 different, the meanings remain the same. 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, availabilty is assurred. And the unknown becomes appetising. Pick a number.
