for all of you who have been wondering what I have done with your photos...... despite the rumours ... I really didn't just collect them to perv at them..... honest!!!!! *grin*

my hubby has at last given in to my nagging... and helped me sort out the photos........ and now that they are a reasonable size the calendar should be heading off to Max in the next few days........ then hopefully available for you to download for a small fee (all proceeds to Mudcat).......

what I'm basically saying.. is start saving your pennies........

Welcome to the Mudcat Philibuster. Some of us have posed semi-nude with just our musical instruments for a calendar to raise money for the Mudcat. I hope you'll consider buying it when it becomes available.

I'm not sure about price.. but if any of you have any ideas please feel free to let me know but I thought $10 should be OK... (its going to mudcat not to my or anyone else's pocket..... its a good cause)

what do you think?

That sounds fine, Alison, thanks to you and hubby for making it happen.

Philobuster, if you go to the top of the threads, put the word "calendar" in the filter box, then set the date filter to 180 days, you will several Mudcat Calendar threads which will tell the whole sordid story of how it came to pass that some began to throw their clothes about, all in the name of folk music! **BG** Welcome to the Mudcat.

Yes, Mattie, have the smelling salts to hand ( or maybe you could sniff your magic marker?) It could well be a shocking experience...

Philibuster- this could put you off the Mudcat for life... BEWARE!!

would have enjoyed being draped with Mick but unfortunately this was not to be...... he's one of the many chickens.........lol

the calendar covers 15 months...... some months have one person, some have 2 some have 2 pics of the same person,

there are 8 men and 8 women

we've worked it out to be printable in A4 size, 1 page per month, pics taking up about the top 1/3 of the page........ I'm not describing this well .. you'll just have to spend your money and find out...... suffice to say there is plenty of flesh on display....... *grin*

yep Morty... trust me I tried... I nagged.. I begged.... but to be honest I am thrilled to bits with what I got......

I always knew it would be hard, especially with the nearly nude bit..... er.... maybe I should have phrased that better *grin*......

but the people who have done this have done a wonderful job....... there are some gorgeous pics..... and MANY many thanks to those who did join in.........

Alison;

Now I am remembering you wanted me to mail you a clearer picture (the emailed one was a bit too blurry you said) and you sent me the address and all, but I have not been to able to find the photo since then.

If you still want to use the grainy image, or if you opted not to use it, that is fine with me, eiether way...sorry. I had the photo at my office and when I moved everything it got misplaced in the shuffle.

If I had thought about it I would have sent you another. But it's too late now.

Ah well, I am still looking forward to buying a calendar!
