"It's a way to do something as a couple and expressing our love. When I look at the images I can almost feel his skin against mine and feel his breathe.

"And the process of making them has really helped us bond. "

From the Rosie Hardy presence on the internet, the whole phenomenon looks like a cunning strategy for her to sell copies of her photos.

No kidding!


Looks like they're having a tiff.

Yuck.

Where's the puke smiley?

She's already been to the US five times since last year? Then she says she's deferred going to uni so she can spend more time with him in the States?

She's shot herself in the foot, methinks....

Give me a break. Even we weren't that sappy when we were apart. And she's only 18 FFS! Someone needs to tell her to put her future education & career before a guy that lives 4000 miles away.

When we did the long distance thing for 18 months (while she was finishing her degree), my wife sent me letters almost on a daily basis with the envelopes usually completely decorated.

She addressed one to "Mr. Loverman" and my Dad was in the driveway when the mailman came. He looked at the envelope, looked at my Dad and said "Nahh!" then handed over the letter. Funny. Made me laugh anyway.

There were times when the mailman literally had to knock on the door and comment on the envelopes because they were decorated amazingly... I'll have to scan a couple in and post them.

These guys are just plain sappy though. Pair of pansies.

I've got to echo what Rushman said on this one.

yeah, good luck with a GC... INS will never believe them.
I bet they have a cute tree house too... with a secret knock.

When my wife & I were doing this (i.e. living apart in the UK & US) was nearly 40 years ago & there was no such thing as Flickr or photoshop. This & this is how we created our soppy photos. (Not.)

They are attractive though, I don't get the minger part.
