Have someone take a photo of you in your apron in an unexpected place. Post it here and maybe we can print them out, put them in an album and send it to Mary Jane!!

We can think of a kooky title for the album. I have a photo grade printer or you can send me a photo to be included by snail mail.

Is this crazy or what? An online album would be really cool too!!!

Fun fun. This sounds like FUN! When is our deadline?
Oh, and does it have to be one we made, cause, that's not something I can do...but I do have great vintage ones.

Yes! A calendar! I've heard tell that calendar girl photography (and the girls)are given the name "cheesecake" and "cheesecake pics", I for one, would be grateful for some really good cheesecake, eaten while wearing my vintage apron

Aunt George..thanks for the "out" on making an apron. I'm just not THAT talented!

Lol Just aprons.. eep!

That's a great idea Georgann. Now I've just got to think of the most unusual place..

There was a movie...English...Maggie SMith, I think, or maybe Dame Judy...older ladies who put together a "cheesecake" (not food) calendar and were a huge success. I think it was based on a true story. I love the idea of a calender and would be glad to contribute a photo of myself in the brand new apron AuntGeorge just gave me. It's by far my favorite. Now, where can I go....Hm....Hey, Stuie!

Loved the movie Calendar Girls, but if you want to sell calendars, I'd better wear something under my apron!! ha ha

Oh, too funny! I keep thinking of the one line from the movie; Calender Girls:

"I think we're going to need considerably bigger buns" ...bwahaha!!!
