Is there an age limit on this ? - wouldn't Essex Girl and myself (we're both passed the middle of our fifth decade) cause the calendar to have a "Horror" certificate.

OK - Linda and I will see what we can manage. Might have to wait until after half-term though - can't really sort out a photo session with two teenagers running round the place !

I'll be retiring from the "nearly nude" calendar type pics this year.

Rob and I could send in something in, maybe a wedding shot or something, if it would fit into any of the themes being considered.

Hi, Alison:

Maybe submitting photos that suggest the title of a song is too limiting. I sent you two or three photos, none of which would fit the theme, and I don't have any other photos that would work to send. Unless the title of the song was "you Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby." Of course we could sumbit photos of us when we were kids and have people try to figure out our identities..

Subject: RE: BS: I need calendar photos now
From: Genie

Well, I guess it'd be pretty easy to do "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," Jerry. ;-D

But I think you're right that it's generally hard to come up with song titles (especially if you limit it to folk song titles) that you could depict without a helluva lot of time and expense. Folks like MMario, who go in for the old Renaissance Faire shtick, of course, would have an edge with the Child ballads, but generally I think a lot of song titles would be hard to do without a lot of expense (She'll Be Comin' 'Round The Mountain), time, or pain (The Lobster).

Hi alison,

I'd like to submit that nice photo of you, me and Jacquie at St Albans in 2001, but I can't remember whether it was your photo or mine and if it is on my computer somewhere, I can't remember where I put it and what it was called. It's posted on the Mudcat/photos/events page. So, I'll go for a little surf through my computer and see if I can find it and send it to you ASAP.

Helen

P.S. Harps are too revealing for nude photos - unless 'one' is wearing a string bikini, I suppose - so just to be different this photo has people fully clothed.

Well, if we can use really outdated photos (like over 20 years old), I have a couple of me in various costumes (without guitar). Now if I can just find a song to go with the costume. Hmmmmm.

I haven't seen the current calendar, and now haven't got around to ordering it because the year is so far advanced. Is there any discounted way to get a look at last year's calendar, to guage how to prepare current submissions?

yeah... send me an email and I'll send you a few pics.....

or if there is sufficient interest from 'newer catters" I can redo the nearly nude ones with next years dates

but this year is different... as most people are not going for "nearly nude"

getting quite a few baby photos at the moment

Any great looking photo of 'Catters, whether the picture is from your past or present, not nude, would be of interest to me. I'm not into the nude or nearly nude calendar shots, so if I was to buy a calendar I'd like to just see some good photography. I sent one of myself to alison for this calendar. It's kind of a "guess who", as the photo is from the 1970's. If you have some good photography from your past, send it in.

Hi there,

Here is your new nagging calendar creator, taking over where alison left off.

I need calendar photos now

(shout warning: if you would just like to put your earplugs in) that's NOW! (Okay, shouting is over, you can remove the earplugs... I said, you can remove the... oh, never mind, I'll use sign language)

alison is progressively sending me the photos she has so there is no need to send them again. I'll make a list here of all the ones I have - after they all arrive.

The theme is: 1) make up your own theme; 2) illustrate a folk or blues song; 3) If *you* want to bare all, go right ahead - but there is no way *I'm* standing behind my harp strings in my "altogether".

So, the more the merrier. Send those photos now.

PM me for my e-mail address.

Helen

Hi all,

Sorry about the lateness of the calendar. I thought I'd have more access to electricity on this trip - but lots of camping, and too much to see and do here so I haven't had much opportunity to do it. I'll get onto it as soon as I can and let you know. I've been incommunicado for most of the trip too, but Tassie has an absolutely brilliant system of Online Access Centres so I haven't been totally cut off.

Absolute and total apologies. I am so sorry about this.
