Love your one-liners Nuala, so good that perhaps your classic “own it” may have swayed us all towards Mr 8 as well of course as his intense gaze and fabulously waxed whiskers!
Glad you enjoyed them! I’m feeling a little sorry for N. 7 though. Perhaps I should’ve given him a better line…
Most intriguing. Who are these mysterious moustached men?
Hi Sian, glad you liked the photos. Most of these men are taken from sports books (hence their choice of props). Competitor 2 was snapped by one of our touring cyclists, who captured lots of wonderful photos whilst touring Europe. Competitor 11 is actually a woman called Rose but we aren’t sure why she’s dressed like a man! I’m afraid that unless the photos are in collections with some context or with some other documents that would lend a clue, they remain a mystery!
the skater won my heart
Great idea. More inspiration for the way mine might go. Currently something along Charles I lines. Maybe I’ll loose the beard, get the wax out and go Edwardian gent!
I love the sound of an Edwardian gent! Glad you found the post inspirational.
Love number 4 Nuala – (where’s Ian’s picture?)
Thanks Nuala! I love a mystery. Will be great if sharing these photos sheds more light on them!
Let’s hope so!
