Wacky Turkish Postcards- Strange hands
Chosen for its awkward pose of the hands, the mild ambiguity of genders and the cheesy rose. You would think hand-models would, at least, have had a manicure. Maybe the hands on the left belong to a woman that has washed a lot of clothes manually, picked cotton and slapped a lot of donkey behinds. Still, the sentiments are true enough- that beauty is most beautiful when shared.

Wacky Turkish Postcards
In fact, I suspect that this little gem of male chauvinism is probably not Turkish in origin. I did however find it in Turkey years ago and have regretfully witnessed many such scenes, except the men are less like models and more like street cleaners and the women are altogether typical. I will skip over the pose.
My reaction was shock, followed by eye-rolling disgust and then, to my surprise, mild amusement at its multi-faceted vulgarity. Ayip bir sey, indeed.
