AP) GREENSBORO, Pa. Giving sultry looks and sexy smiles to the camera, 12 Pittsburgh-area women recently posed at Monongahela historical sites, baring it all -- or almost all -- to create a charity-driven calendar. The catch?
The nearly nude ladies are all in their 70s and 80s, driven to adventure by a desire to raise money for a historical society in Monongahela, a small community 17 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
Overcoming fears the priest would walk by during a photo shoot or embarrassing their children and grandchildren, the women -- all well-known members of the tight-knit community -- are now eagerly awaiting the calendar's debut next month. The money it generates will go to the Monongahela Area Historical Society.
"One of the advantages of being old is that you can do anything you want and get away with it," said 80-year-old Lois Phillips, who as Miss September was photographed in the back seat of a 1968 Mercury convertible.
The calendar was the brainchild of 80-year-old Lorys Crisafulli. She came up with the idea when she saw the movie Calendar Girls, a 2003 flick starring Helen Mirren in which a group of British women publish a nude calendar to raise money for cancer research.
"I thought, why don't we do that in Monongahela?" she told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "We need something to put us on the map, to get us going."
Crisafulli spent the next few weeks finding sponsors, a free photographer and an eager group of septuagenarians and octogenarians with enough spunk to show some flesh.
A former 5th grade teacher, Crisafulli is about to become better known as Miss January, who lounges in a black convertible covered in pearls, holding a champagne glass in one hand and dangling slinky sandals from the other.
Some of the other photos are more risque.
Miss April, Esther Cox, poses in a pasture, nothing but a pink umbrella covering her 75-year-old body. Miss December, Sondra Odelli Bordini, gives a sultry glance from behind a poinsettia centerpiece with two strategically placed red Christmas balls.
Our community is working on it’s 2nd over 55 male calander.
2008 We will be buying a few for gifts once again.
A friend sent me a powerpoint file of a 50 year old Columbian lady the other day which I can’t post here.
It absolutely made me sick—sick that I can’t find a girlfriend like that to spend my sunset years with.
Why do I have this urge to iron everything in sight???
Further proof that brain cells deteriorate with age....
LOL.
“People gawk at car accidents because of sagging breasts and age spots? :)”
There was an elderly lady who was tired of being sick and old and decided she wanted to end it all. She asked her doctor where a womans heart was. He told her under the left breast.
She was admitted to the hospital a short time later with a gunshot to the left knee.
What taste?
I'm not a prude, but come on. What do you think the interest hook is here? Of course, it's the fact that older women are posing nude for a pin up calendar. There would be Zero interest if these women were fully clothed. My point being, what message are these women conveying? It doesn't take a lot of creativity for women to take off their clothes to generate cheap interest. How about volunteering time and working effort to raise money instead of taking a short cut?
It's just one more bad example for all of us, especially kids, where everything must have a sexual angle to generate interest.
From an old song of the 40s sung on the “Monangahela River”: Your red scarf matches your eyes, you close your cover before striking. Your father has the shipfitter’s blues, loving you has made me bananas.
I think you could market this as the ultimate diet plan.
You have NO IDEA how disgusting unless you were tuned in to the local TV news last nite that showed these old broads. At least they spared us turning into blocks of salt by not showing full frontal nudity or even much below the necks of these ancient wannabe ladies of the nite.
LOL.
I knew this thread would be hilarious.
It’s called humor in our town.
Kids who said anything about kids.
Most of us here are older folks who have worked hard all our lives.
The calander in our town is not displayed you have to call and order it.
They DON”T show any of the private parts.
Nope not like the nude photos where thousands bare it all in a shot.
Face, shoulders and calves on the female calander behind an object.
I don’t consider that anywhere near nudity.
I have seen more skin on women posted here on FR and you guys don’t whine about the “pic post rule” then do you?
Now our men’s calander shows tummy and chest and legs.
And people DO volenteer here.
We are not a rich community we are a fishing and retirement community.
Families that have been here for generations and the seniors are awesome volenteers.
We ENJOY the HUMOR of the calanders.
Your just spouting off talking about nudity. Try reading the article.
Look at the pic posted here of the gal behind the piano.
If you consider that nudity then I don’t know what to tell you pal.
“It’s just one more bad example for all of us, especially kids, where everything must have a sexual angle to generate interest.”
OH NOES!!! WHO WILL SAVE OUR CHILDREN!?!?!?
I think the angle taken is more humorous than sexual.
Gravity effects everything as we get older. Like golf balls and bait casts. They just don’t go as far before coming to earth.
At the Nursing Home a man took his elderly father to a nursing home to check it out. He sat his father down on a sofa in the main aisle way and went to talk with the administrators.
The old man started to tilt slowly toward the left. A Doctor came by and said, “Let me help you.” The Doctor piled several pillows on the left side of the old man so he would stay upright.
The older man started to tilt slowly to the right. An orderly noticed and put several more pillows on his right side to keep him upright.
The old man started to lean forward when a nurse came by and piled several pillows in front of him. About this time, the son returned.
“Well, Dad, isn’t this a nice place.”
The old man replied, “I guess it’s ok, but they won’t let me fart.”
Three elderly men are talking about their aches, pains and bodily functions. The seventy-year old man says, “I have this problem. I wake up every morning at seven and it takes me twenty minutes to tinkle.”
The eighty-year old man says, “My case is worse. I get up at eight and I sit there and grunt and groan for half an hour before I finally have a BM.”
The ninety-year old says, “At seven I pee like a horse, at eight I flop like a cow.”
“So what’s your problem?” ask the others.
“I don’t wake up until nine.”
Three old ladies are sitting in a diner, chatting about various things. One lady says, “You know, I’m getting really forgetful. This morning, I was standing at the top of the stairs, and I couldn’t remember whether I had just come up or was about to go down.”
The second lady says, “You think that’s bad? The other day, I was sitting on the edge of my bed, and I couldn’t remember whether I was going to bed or had just woken up!”
The third lady smiles smugly. “Well, my memory’s just as good as it’s always been, knock wood.” She raps the table. With a startled look on her face, she asks, “Who’s there?”
“Now our men’s calander shows tummy and chest and legs.”
Well, I’ll buy one, although I’ve probably seen more shocking things. Where do I order?
Can I get one with guys in waders, or on a bass boat or in a hunting blind? A big crappie or bass in the photo would be an extra bonus.
All my older lady friends send me these pics/cartoons, of these young “Chippendale” type guys, and they all look like sissies to me, in addition to freezing up my computer, since I am on dialup.
Sorry, but wrinkled grannies with monkey tits are not the material that morning wood is made from.
