A group of mature women in Tasmania did one just to raise enough
money to get new curtains for the clubhouse and ended up making a
fortune. They were hoping to raise about $500 and made over
$75,000
There is money in these things believe me.

Well.....Scotland does offer a lot of unique scenery with the castles,
etc. We could be peeking out from behind standing stones, etc. The
possibilities are endless. It could be not necessarily 'bawdy', but
tasteful, and fun!

Would we target a mutual 'cause' like the breast cancer research of the
'wearing wool' ladies, or would we divide up the money? Just curious.

I have 3 or 4 friends in Scotland who are semi-pro photographers. Any

We can make up our own rules as we go along.
They're old enough. On second thought, one is probably too 'prissy'.
Another has no sense of humour. That still leaves one or two other
possibilities.

I'm not sure, but I've had a lot of fun dreaming up some very creative
compositions. I'm not the 'naturist' type to sit around quilting all
day in the nude, but for a worthy cause (such as padding our bank
accounts) I might give some thought to photography sessions.

Well, we'll plan our get together for the warmest time of the year, and
there's always such things as 'air-brushing' . Besides, the pictures
don't all have to be taken outdoors.

You obviously had oneof those faulty mirrors that distorts beyond

any, type of thing???
I have one of those in my bathroom. Can't believe a thing it

More seriously, our resident expert in calendar control and

Depends on the woman, IMHO, and the man. Some of those pictures on the

because the women are nekked, but the way they are holding those poor

I suspect she'll be a bit surprised at the 'turn' this quilting bee

calendar months worth, and she'd post the next three months. It was
fun and we sure had a few of the guys going there for a while! We
even got jpegs and gif files emailed to us for consideration. They
were all in good taste and if anyone is still worried about where
those photos went, I can assure them that they have never been posted
on the web without permission, except for that movie of Huey Llewelyn
sent. He claimed that it was him dancing on stage in front of the
Welsh flag. Huey was a lurker and since he never posted showed far
too much talent for our calendar, I sent it around to few female
sailors. As usual, I saved the clip some place at the time and cannot
find it now.
I remember Jack C. asking me if we were really serious about the scs
calendar. I emailed him back, "I'll never teh-ell!" (Funny, that
line with the same inflection was also used for a movie a couple of
years later...) Anyway, it was suggested that a female version of
the scs calendar should be made to be fair but none of the guys were
up to producing it at the time since we girls still had plenty
material left to use against them, several redheaded females were
posting at the time, and one of our girls claimed to be armed.
We considered continuing the men of scs calendar since we hadn't even
reached the Industrial Revolution in Scottish history yet but Greggi
and I were burnt out after the first year. Plus, we didn't want to
run such a good thing to ground.

That was very naughty, MacRobert! How soon you forget that other
comments similar to this were what drove Fogbrat to dressing you up as
Bonnie Prince Charlie's maid in men's calendar. I'm sure Elaine and
the rest us would be more than happy help ensure that you continue
your trend, perhaps by portraying you as the ghost of Janet Douglas of
Glamis Castle should another men's calendar be made...

One of the primary rules of show biz is to always leave 'them' wanting
more!

I honestly don't know if that was a Freudian slip, or if you're just a
lousy speller, Conway!
Whatever it was, you've done it again!
