I didn't think I would ever get this calendar, but after many months, here it is: A rare US calendar that took inspiration from Vermont (though I think it's a bit more Skidmore).
First of all, what is neat in this calendar is diversity you just don't see in UK calendars. Black girls wearing glasses - 'nuff said.
American girls also seem to sport more different hair styles than the Brits. Perhaps they look a bit more "plain" as well, which is to my liking.
But there is something more interesting in this calendar: In the June photo, there are girls in a line with a strip covering their private area. Nothing new there. Except when I turned the calendar over to the back cover, they had a tiny reprint of that image along with the other team images (many the same, some different) that had no banner! Then, as my gf was looking at the calendar she noted that the banner was not "in" the image, not even applied by photoshop to the image. No, they put a sticker over the calendar photo! I can only guess that at the last minute someone realized that there was maybe a bit much being shown and that they had to take evasive action. The sticker is one of those stickers that you can't really remove without doing all kinds of damage. And an exacto knife didn't help either. But with the use of my fingernail and a bit of wetting and digging off residue, I removed it pretty well I think from the girl who is revealing the most. I tried, as you can see in the images on another girl but I went too quick with it and botched it. If anyone knows good ways of removing stickers without messing up ink, please let me know.
So here are three main pictures from the calendar, two that have amazing diversity, one with sticker partially removed (and some cutouts). The three lower quality images are the versions from the back cover. The frisbee team's small back cover picture is better in my opinion than the main picture. Oh well.
I would probably feel bad posting pictures with the removed sticker, however, they already printed the uncensored image on the back. Also, the color printing in this calendar is outstanding. It makes me sad so many calendars print in low quality black and white. Anyway, hope everyone enjoys!
