Tart Cards Christmas Edition





You may remember a couple of times earlier this year I've posted a few images from my 'Tart Cards' book. You can see some here and here.

Now I've selected a few with Christmas themes, a bit tenuous with some of them but I thought they were amusing so here they are.



Sex sells and as Christmas is a busy one for the girls they try to bring as much humour and wit to their Christmas working cards with distinctive illustrations and text in order to entice their clients. They have to be inventive and persuasive with their vocabulary in order to sell their wares. Such as 'Treat yourself to some Kinky Kristmas Kapers' or visit a 'Stunning Christmas cracker waiting to be pulled'







"The images that accompany the slogans and the many hand drawn cards with holly, ivy or a cracker adds to the allure and charm of these particular Christmas working cards". Equally festive words play a part as this parody nursery rhyme shows Sing-a-song-of-sixpence:

Sing a song of Christmas.
a grotto full of toys,
Lots of canes, whips and chains,
for all you naughty boys





Or this playful rhyme:

Christmas cracker needs some fun!
Come along and spank her bum


Some preferred word-play and one liners :

'Good Queen Wence-lust, with the 42" bust'.

'Red hot Xmas cracker'

'Let me play with your Jingle bells'

  7. "Have your seats caned for X'mas" Bad use of an apostrophe but I love the double meaning :)
