coffee no. 80

On the photolaboratory's display I pass by very often has appeared a new element. It's an exceptional situation, because, as I wrote in last post, on that display nothing has changed for years. This "new element" is the advertisement announcing that the owners offer the new service -- the photos printed on china to be placed on graves. There would not be anything special in it but for the example of such an oval portrait. We can see in it the really awesome woman, undoubtedly a model. The people who prepared this peculiar ad probably opened "Vogue" or "Elle", picked out the prettiest face, cut it out and made this "grave photo" from.
Moreover, I don't think it was a joke -- these people must have really believed that the more (literally) beautiful example of their service, the more customers will be interested.
