I saw these posters pasted up in various locations in Shoreditch and Spitalfields at the start of the summer. The heading on the poster was "Tear off a smile", and people passing by could tear off one of eight lip-shaped cut-outs. I liked the idea. Each of the lips had a different saying on the back. I took one from one poster and one from another poster later in the day. The smiles disappeared quickly, though. These were popular.

I still have the two lip cut-outs at home. Perhaps I will send them to a lucky user on PostCrossing, a postcard exchange social network. Everyone needs a smile now and again.
