Lipstick on your collar?

by Usksider ^Pro @ Friday, 19. Jun, 2009 – 08:05:18

I've been chatting with Pompeycaulkhead recently about Portsmouth's Funnel Tower ; apparently the locals refer to this as The Lipstick.

Pompey's comments got me thinking and yes, from the right angle I can understand the logic of that completely. Sadly I didn't photograph the tower from the perfect angle to get the 'lipstick' effect, but I hope when you look at this picture you'll see the connection too.

So okay, Portsmouth has lipstick on its waterfront... sort of.

Always find such locally-ascribed monikers very 'clever', if not 'ingenious'

I'll stick to pink or red shades - don't think blue lips is "me" somehow
