The Yes Yes Yes Blog

We’re really excited at MTV UK to talk about what we’ve been doing with Someone Once Told Me as part of supporting the MTV Staying Alive campaign. We’ve asked a few friends in the media and music business to provide us with a window into their lives with their very own exclusive Someone Once Told Me’s and we want you to contribute as well!

So what’s Someone Once Told Me all about?

It’s about providing a place for the quotes, memories and nuggets of wisdom that people remember for whatever reason, which is then explained in the back story to the photo. The submissions are sometimes thought provoking and emotive but it’s always personal, interesting and insightful, giving you a small understanding of how that person ticks.

What did Someone Once Tell You?

Have you got a really great saying, or a memorable quote like a few of the examples above, related to sex?  Submit your photo to the Yes Yes Yes Flickr group and show the world you’re Someone Once Told Me!

Get involved and remember, most importantly, stay safe.

Renate is the Head of the UK office for Poken along with being a social media, music and gadget lover! You can check out her exclusive Play Safe Playlist here!
