But it's not all that hard for a girl to cover all her parts with one arm over the boobs and one hand down south in a calendar picture (as some do).
I think we're all aware that there is some double standard in some of these calendars. Going over it without adding something to the commentary isn't overly helpful at this point. What does interest me is when you have girls in the same picture with different layers of clothing. For instance, in an RGU photo, you can see girls in panties, and girls without, in the same photo. On the cover of the 2011 Portsmouth calendar there is only one girl in a large group ho is fully naked. How did this happen? I wish we could have more backstory when there are shots where one or two girls have to show their butts; how it was determined who would show themselves. I imagine there are times when some girls are unexpectedly thrown into the limelight that way. Maybe I need to get a documentary crew and contact all the unis and make the "Behind The Scenes: Naked Calendars 2012" film? 
I'm posting the one other really good pic from the Limerick calendar here. The rest aren't that exciting and very difficult to photograph so I'll probably not bother for now. |
This is the Nottingham Polo Club 2011 calendar. Dalquaz (and others) have posted photos from it before but I think this is the first complete scan of the calendar. I have had the calendar ages but decided to post it now following the request by Dalquaz for more information about who decides who is going to bare all while some girls remain clothed.
There was much publicity for this calendar -you tube video, facebook, twitter and website - and, as a result, I was able to become 'friends' online with one of the girls in the calendar. She was one of the girls who bared all in one of the pictures but had knickers on in another. Eventually I got round to asking why nude in one shot but not another and who decided?
She told me that before the shoot they had decided there would be some full nudity as it was to be a naked calendar and quite a few of the girls, including herself, indicated they would be happy to strip. On the day of the shoot however many of the girls got cold feet and decided they wanted to keep their knickers firmly on!
This didn't cause any problems and the girls who were happy to get naked (including my 'friend') did their shots quite happily.
It had been decided that for the cover photo two girls would be naked-one at each end of 2011-and that the two girls to strip would be chosen at random in time honoured Polo Club tradition on the day by putting their names in a polo helmet and each girl picking out a name until only two were left. These two 'lucky' girls were the ones who got to appear naked on the front of the calendar. All the girls were happy with this and there was plenty of teasing, especially as fewer and fewer names remained in the helmet.
She said when they got down to the final three one of the girls was looking very worried and when the last name came out and it wasn't hers she looked like she was going to cry! She is quite a shy girl and a few of the other girls offered to strip instead of her but she said she had been fairly chosen and it would do her good to be less inhibited! She stripped along with the other chosen girl in the middle of the field for the photo and afterwards was so relaxed about it she even had the photographer take her picture washing the muddy Land Rover in a pose far to rude to use in any mainstream calendar!
