It's that time of year when you start getting free calendars from your hair stylist, your congressperson, the mechanic, and so on.
But of course, you can
buy a calendar to support a cause.
Julieanne Smolinski writes that "
Men on a Mission, a calendar of shirtless Mormon missionaries, was created last year by Chad Hardy, a former missionary and Brigham Young University grad. Chad claims the calendars, the sale of which go to assorted charities, are meant to de-mythologize Mormon sexuality and promote understanding between religions (because nipples are the universal language)."
That Julieanne. I think I like her. (Poor ol' Chad was excommunicated.)

These
mortuary guys donate two bucks from each sale to breast cancer. Makes me sorry that I had my Mama cremated. These hunks coulda dug her grave.
Sob.
The Naked Fishermen have a calendar too. Some sorta "save the fish" thingie I guess.
Yeah. Save the fish from drowning. You do that by removing them from the water.
Like that.

And of course, you have the ever-popular naked chef stuff:

Personally, I'd want to know if a net was used before I tasted that....food.
Now this one is just disturbing.
DISTURBING.
The bare naked
clowns give their money to Multiple Sclerosis, which is a wonderful cause. Their calendar features clowns "
in a myriad of positions designed to delight...." And answers questions such as "
Who’s bendy like a gummy bear?"

Scary. Interesting. But mostly
scary.
These
men took it off their old bodies to raise money for their local schools.

They're a
big group.

This is probably their centerfold.
Be still my heart.But I've decided to buy a naked firemen calendar. Mmmmmmm.... firemen are so
hot.
