Russian Calendar Girls

Russia’s Calendar Girls strip for charity — RTMost will associate the name Calendar Girls with the famous British play – later a hit movie – based on a true story. It revolves around a group of middle-aged women, “members of a very ordinary Yorkshire branch of the Women’s Institute, who spark a global phenomenon by persuading one another to pose for a charity calendar with a difference.”
... It took the play’s Russian cast nearly a year to make up their minds to follow in their characters’ footsteps and create a feel-good calendar of their own.
... Money raised from the nude pictures will go to the Life charity to help drug and alcohol addicted people, and support those recently released from jail as they go through rehabilitation.
The news report doesn't give any hint how to buy one, and doing a Google search for "russian calendar girls"... well, it isn't helpful.

Ladies of 32744


Lake Helen grandmothers go from bake sales to pinup girls - Daytona Beach News JournalIf at first you don't succeed, take off some clothes.
That's what a group of grandmothers in Lake Helen did when their fundraising efforts fell flat.
It all started because women in town wanted to raise money to remodel the kitchen at American Legion Post 127, a popular gathering spot in Lake Helen for veterans. In the past, the ladies had held bake sales, but they found they were only netting a few hundred dollars. Remodeling expenses would likely be in the thousands.
...Donations can be mailed to PO Box 884 Lake Helen, FL 32744. More information about obtaining a calendar is available by calling Pat Chadwick at 386-228-3695.

If it isn't obvious, 32744 is the local zip code. Although the calendar doesn't have an official web site, it is possible to buy one from a vendor on eBay. See also Dave FM.
