Don’t fake it baby…
We set this one back at the start of the year and it seems it had a few of you foxed. (01.01.2011 NEWS: CELEBRATE THE NEW YEAR WITH A SIGNED 2011 CALENDAR)
Your task was to identify the fake advert from a selection of eight that all boasted pictures by photographer Brian Ward, in keeping with the theme of the calendar. Here’s a memory refresh…
Though we did eventually get enough correct answers, all of the other legit adverts were selected as the fake by many of you…even though I had chosen a shot I thought you would be able to identify as being inappropriate for the period.
As you can see from the animation below, the offending fake was advert D for which I used a 1971 Brian Ward Hunky Dory outtake.
Whereas the original advert (taken from the September 2nd 1972 issue of NME) featured a more current Sukita shot of David taken from their first session together in London during July of 1972.
Anyway, in the event we got more than enough correct entries and the ten BowieNetters below were those luckily plucked from the Random Generator’s hat this time…

If you folx could furnish us with your name and address we will send your signed calendar without further delay. We will also include a little something extra to make up for not getting the calendars before 2011 actually started! (Entirely my fault.)
But then again, what kind of nut job would actually hang a signed calendar and use it as if it were just like any other calendar? And, on top of that, what particular type of lunatic wouldn’t have already had an unsigned calendar up on their wall anyway? Answer me that if you dare! };-)
