A WEDDING PROPOSAL TO MELT A CYNIC’S HEART.

Aaaaah, look at the sweet young couple. So in love. But why are they standing in a pumpkin field?

Aaaaah, look at the sweet young couple. So in love. But why are they standing in a pumpkin field?

It reads, "Ari please marry me." In pumpkins.

It reads, "Ari please marry me." In pumpkins.

From The Daily Hampshire Gazette: “John Laing and Ariel Baruch went for a drive one Saturday. When the couple reached the top of Mount Sugarloaf, they looked down at a field where a thousand pumpkins spelled out “Ari Please Marry Me.”

“It was a lot of pumpkins,” said Laing, 25. “She was speechless for a good 30 seconds.”

But Baruch, 23, said yes.

“I was just staring at him and crying,” Baruch said. “I knew it would happen someday.”

Laing had spent part of the preceding Thursday and all of the Friday setting up the approximately 80-foot letters in the nearly one-acre field.

Laing works for an insurance company in New York City. Baruch is a doctoral student at the University of Massachusetts. The two met while attending highschool in Tampa, Florida.

Laing said he knew he wanted to write his marriage proposal in a field, so he approached Warner Farms owner Mike Wissemann several weeks ago. Wissemann enlisted the help of maze designer William Sillan.

Sillan was going to mow the message into the grass field, but Wissemann said he suggested using the 12 bins of pumpkins he had just harvested instead.

“John was not used to hauling pumpkins around all day, so he was pretty whipped,” Wissemann recalled.

When Sillan went out Friday afternoon to see how Laing was doing, he reported that Laing told him ‘Everything I ever wanted is in this field.’”

He always knew he wanted to write his marriage proposal in a field?

Oh well, nobody’s perfect.

Which is, you have to agree, a little ironic, in this particular case.

Readers might have noticed that I have a tendency to go on a bit about the subjects which preoccupy me.

Female celebrity nakedness is one of them.

But female celebrity nakedness?

That’s so yesterday.

(Yes, in HV World, it is, in fact literally yesterday.)

Here, in the most naked of all semi-naked shoots (I don’t know why but a bloke does look the most exposed when wearing nothing but tops and socks) are the stars of Scott Pilgrim vs The World,demonstrating how Hollywood’s hot, young male stars deal with a steamy New York summer, for GQ magazine.

Pantsless.

I can’t honestly say how I would handle a sex shop as a client, were I to have washed up, in copy writing instead of the tamer, less excitable waters of women’s magazines.
I’m not sure I’ve would have managed to be as inspired as BBDO, the agency that came up with these ads for a [...]

So way back in the day, we at SA COSMO used to love a naked centerfold, or 50.
Who can forget the sight of Joost van der Westhuizen, protecting his modesty (he had some, in those days) with a copy of our annual naked edition?
But time passed and I decided that 1) too many female celebs [...]
