Calendars

With the New Year rapidly approaching, many people are looking for diaries, notebooks and calendars.
And for 2010, it looks like the calendar has become a major instrument to promote wholesome non-sexual nudity. We are almost being buried under an avalanche of nude calendars.
Only a few years ago, nude calendars were being thought of as pornography at worst or titillating art - think Pirelli - at best. But that view has now completely changed. Witness the success of the British film "Calendar Girls" about gardening ladies uncovering for a good cause. Not some silly fiction, but a true event. Since then, the number of projects deemed worthy of a nude calendar has grown exponentially.
Of course, the best ones would be those that actually serve a naturist purpose, such as saving a naturist beach from closure or from conversion to a 'textile' beach. Those calendars would receive my highest marks and my dollars, pounds, euros and yens.
But there are also a number of other causes now coming with nude calendar in tow. The most recent one to catch my attention, through a mention on a European newspaper site, was the one made by the Garrison Girls. They are a number of British soldiers' wives who are not total naturists, since they were not willing to have their faces or most of their bodies revealed in the calendar. Nevertheless, their effort is quite worthwhile and well done.
As I often mention on my blog when I'm not talking about naturism, it may not be naturism, but it still might be helpful in promoting acceptance of naturism and non-sexual nudity.
In closing, just a mention of their web site: http://www.garrisongirls.com
