Forewarning: some may be offended by this post. 
Remember the movie Calendar Girls, where the ladies bared almost all for a fund raising event? It was a fun movie. One of the local master gardening clubs has done the same, and raised quite a few eyebrows. Ciscoe Morris, a master gardener himself, posted about it this weekend in his gardening column. Unfortunately the link doesn't have the accompaning picture of the month of rainy May: Five ladies of considerable age, wrapped up in cellophane and holding stragically placed gardening books, or clear umbrellas, or gardening tools-along with wearing their gardening clogs and gloves and hats. And I think Ciscoe himself is Mr. November!! He's a funny little older guy. It's a hoot and I think I'm gonna buy it just to be supportive of their fundraising efforts!

I just went and ordered the Au Naturel calendar and had it shipped to my new house. It will be my first official piece of mail sent there. Small, conservative Tennessee town...hope it comes in a plain brown wrapper! I love the idea for the calendar...don't think I could pose, but I would love to help somehow...maybe do some scrapbook layouts to set the photos in. Can I add to the list? John Corbitt from Northern Exposure (I miss that show!). He was also in "Raising Helen". And, believe it or not, Jerry Orbach (Law and Order, the dad in "Dirty Dancing") just DID something to me. I am 43 and he still made me think baaaaad thoughts. |

Farmgirls and guys, my calendar arrived! It is beautiful, and funny and also touching. I was starting to describe each month and my computer glitched, so I'll just summarize it by saying: this is worth every penny. So tastefully produced with excellent photos and a ton of humor and compassion. Don't hesitate to place your order!

What a hoot! I wasn't expecting this when I clicked on gardening calendars! I did love the movie that inspired this thread but somehow I can't see MJ going for this one??? LOL Not sure if I'd pose or not, but I'd sure buy one or two!!!
I'm not 40 something, I'm 39.95 plus shipping and handling! |

Maybe we can get Mary Jane to wear our decorated apron and nuttin' else? No, wait, I can't work on decorating it with that in my head...
And the only way this old broad is gonna pose is if she can wear her Sock Monkey flannel pj's..... |

Ohhhh, BlueEggBabe, that reminds me of one of my fav Garth Brooks songs, "standing on the porch with nothing but her apron on".... that's a PERFECT idea for posing, isn't it? We could get really creative, I'm sure!!!

You guys are KILLING me here..HAHAH
how did this thread slip by me until today??!
I saw a great calendar last year by a group of spinners who wuzn't wearin' nuttin' but wool mittens,hats, scarves that they made themselves...www.wearingwool.com...went to the site and it simply says:"Celebrating the ancient art of spinning and the ageless beauty of women. This project exceeded its expectations and we have all gone back to our fiber-art activities...
Nevermore...
Gonzo..."
It was so beautiful.......
uh, I'd do one in an apron, bib type, sittin' down, maybe

LOVE IT CLARE!!!!! I'll pack some of my homegrown catawba wine for bravery!!!! Let's take the pics at the plum pit around that cute iron bed, and have the girls at the farm round up some cute guys from the university there at Moscow for backdrop props, wearing their alls or jeans, no shirts and a hard days layer of sweat and dirt. ( Or...some of the farmguy staff at the farm will suffice!) Naughty me..... (Blushing)

Shall I be SUPER bold and make a proposal????
How about we Farmgirls make a calendar with proceeds to go to the Red Cross? We could take the pics next summer at FarmFair!!! Maybe MaryJane will volunteer to be the photographer? (Don't want gb to have a heart attack!  )
How's that for brave? (and look ma, no vodka! )

YES....as long as it was discreet & it would depend on the cause. (I wouldn't bare it for JUST ANYTHING YOU KNOW!)
Harrison Ford would be my first choice for a calender guy....but I'd pin up any of MJ's farmhands....you know...as long as it was for charity. hehe.

I don't think anyone would pay good money to see me neckeeed either Clare...that is why there would HAVE to be some male eye candy in that pic, and a very large compost bin for me to hide behind.

Gee Meadowlark, maybe if I had your imagination (and enough vodka in me-- and I don't drink! ), then I just might go for it. But ya know, I don't know anyone who'd pay good money to see me even discreetly nnneeekkkkeed!
