Thursday 14th February - Valentines Day!
So did Page 3 do something special for Valentines Day? Not so that you would have noticed no…
In The Sun someone must have realised what today was as Lucy got the job today posing on a beach and to add a rather dismal Valentine element, she had a heart scrawled in the sand in front of her which resulted in three rather nice online pics including two landscape format that were actually in the larger size:
What a pity therefore that the page layout muffin decided to crop the picture for the printed version leaving out the heart in the sand thereby giving the impression that this was just an ordinary Page 3 pic.
The Daily Star sort of made an effort but it most certainly wasn’t the Star’s best effort with Melissa Debling holding a single rose against a ghastly pink background and with a couple of computer generated hearts plonked on the top right hand corner (on the printed version anyway):
If I can find them, I will put up some scans of Valentines Day Page 3’s from days past later to show you how it used to be and should be done!
