CLAREMONT ESTATE AGENCY USING PLAYBOY BUNNIES TO SELL HOUSES
15 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
I took a double take, nay, a triple take this weekend as I browsed through the property section of the Weekend Argus. The first thing that jumped out of the Vineyard Estates page was the fact that the estate agent featured for the one property had a superimposed bow-tie on. How bizarre, I thought to […]

08 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Just yesterday I was taking a bubble bath at The Safe House and sent out a twat about the provocative Armani ad campaign (here ), depicting a woman removing a man’s clothing – revealing quite a lot, I thought.
