Mysterious Tabloid Friendship Clubs

🔗Google Image Search of the Week: “Neon Paracord” *a teaser for some Very Famous ideas coming…soon* 🔗

💋 Sheela Wood’s Friendship Club, Mysterious Tabloid Personals Section 💋 I first found Sheela Wood’s Friendship Club while thumbing through a tabloid at (beautiful) Texas grocery store HEB. In spite of it being platonically named Sheela Wood’s Friendship Club, it advertises true love “…just like these happy couples”. Though I suppose you can’t have true love without friendship!

There are the standard Personals abbreviations like “LTR” or “ISO” or “TLC”, and Sheela offers examples of a few couples straight from 1989 who’ve found love, like Terry and Patricia Miller of Tifton, GA. With the obvious examples of Craigslist and various dating apps, the question remains: Who would use Sheela Wood’s Friendship Club today?

With the acknowledgement that this is a 10-year-old blog post, Notes From the Underground describes the Friendship Club members as “prison inmates and lonely, marriage minded mountain men, and multi-millionaires who enjoy being up to date on ‘sexy cougar’ Martha Stewart's love "tangles" (she has a "toyboy," you know), and collecting coupons for Jesus related knicknacks and snap-front comfort bras.”…Eds. Note: This seems about half-accurate!

Here’s an example cited: “NM- Be my sole heir. DWM 72 5'8. ISO female, any age, size, race. You: broadminded, smoker, light drinker, love dancing. Photo, phone.”

“Be my sole heir!” A beautiful short story of a sentence. On this advertising agency site, you can submit your own ad to be published in Globe and National Examiner. And on that note…
