Cards placed in phone booths to advertise the services of call girls
"Карта для знакомства" – это карточка, рекламирующая услуги проститутки. Такие карточки можно найти во многих странах, как правило, в столицах или районах красных фонарей. Возникшие в 1960-х годах, они размещаются в таких местах, как витрины газетных киосков или телефонные будки, а также раздаются или бросаются на улицах. Иногда против их распространения принимаются юридические меры. Иллюстрированные "карты для знакомства" 1980-х и 1990-х годов стали рассматриваться как примеры случайного искусства субкультуры.
A tart card is a card which advertises the services of a prostitute. The cards are found in many countries, usually in capital cities or red light districts. Originating in the 1960s, the cards are placed in locations such as newsagents' windows or telephone boxes. Alternatively they are handed out or dropped in the street. Legal action is sometimes taken against their use. Illustrated tart cards from the 1980s and 1990s have come to be regarded as examples of sub cultural accidental art.
История
В Англии и Уэльсе Закон о сексуальных преступлениях 1956 года запретил уличную проституцию. В результате секс-работа в закрытых помещениях стала более распространенной, и секс-работницы начали рекламировать свои услуги и номера телефонов на небольших, дешевых карточках в витринах газетных киосков. Известные как «карточки для знакомства», они получили распространение в 1960-х годах в таких местах, как Сохо в Лондоне, где обычно представляли собой рукописные открытки, вывешиваемые у дверей квартир проституток или в витринах газетных киосков и магазинов. Поскольку прямые упоминания проституции обычно были неприемлемы, текст на карточках тщательно подбирался и часто содержал эвфемистические намеки на секс, например, «большая грудь для продажи». Отмена Закона о почтовых отделениях 1953 года в 1984 году непреднамеренно легализовала размещение рекламы в телефонных будках, которые стали основным местом размещения этих карточек, особенно в Лондоне. Карточки 1980-х и 1990-х годов часто содержали черно-белые рисунки, напечатанные на картоне неоновых цветов, и игривые фразы. В крупных городах карточки размещались в телефонных будках. Стиль иллюстраций изменился в начале XXI века, когда стали появляться карточки с полноцветными фотографиями обнаженных людей, номерами мобильных телефонов и веб-сайтами. Карточки 1980-х и 1990-х годов стали памятной частью лондонской контркультуры того времени, о чем свидетельствуют выставки и книги, такие как издание 2003 года «Карточки для знакомства: запрещенное рекламное искусство Лондона». Коллекция Велкомма в Лондоне содержит тысячи экземпляров, чуть более половины из которых рекламируют услуги БДСМ.
In England and Wales the Sexual Offences Act 1956 made soliciting for street prostitution illegal. As a result, indoor sex work became more common and sex workers began to advertise their services and telephone numbers on small, cheaply produced cards in the windows of newsagents. Known as tart cards, they became established in the 1960s in places such as Soho, London, where they were typically handwritten postcards which were displayed outside prostitutes' flats or in the windows of newsagents or shops. As direct references to prostitution would generally be unacceptable, the cards were carefully worded and often contained euphemistic references to sex, with terms such as large chest for sale. The abolition of the 1953 Post Office Act in 1984 inadvertently legalised the placement of advertisements in telephone boxes, and they became the main location for tart cards, particularly in London. The cards from the 1980s and 1990s often included black and white drawings printed on neon coloured card along with tongue in cheek phrases. In larger cities, the cards were placed in phone boxes. The style of illustration changed in the early twenty first century, when tart cards began to appear with full colour nude photographs, mobile telephone numbers and websites. The cards from the 1980s and 1990s have become a memorable part of London counter culture from that era. exhibitions and books such as the 2003 publication Tart Cards: London’s Illicit Advertising Art. The Wellcome Collection in London contains thousands of examples, just over half of which advertise BDSM services. Brazil: They are found in São Paulo. China: They are commonly put under the doors of hotels during the day after the cleaning staff have finished in the rooms. Dubai: Cards advertising "massage" services, often printed with images of scantily clad young East Asian women, were slipped under front doors or car windows. This practice has since been made illegal. Japan: In Japan they were known as "pink flyers" (ピンクチラシ). Macau: They are dropped in the city's sidewalks and underpasses. United Kingdom: in London tart cards are placed in phone boxes However, despite police operations against carders the practice of carding still continues. United States: In hispanophone parts of New York City they are known as "Chica Chica" (Girl Girl) cards and men hand them out as flyers at night on the streets. In Las Vegas they are known as "sex cards" and left on sidewalks and hotel stairways or handed out as flyers.
