Calendar Girl Blog: Model Party
Rather than me yammer on about the Breast of Canada 2006 Model, Writer and Photographer Party , I think it appropriate to let the various participants have their own crack at this blog. After all, we are in fact live, at the party, right now! And yes, as you might expect, Calendar Girl is Very Excited.
--------------------
The reason I decided to participate in the 2006 Breast of Calendar is because of my mom. She is an extremely important part of my life and for me this was my way to show her that I love and care about her. My mother had breast cancer a few years ago and it hit me really hard - for years I struggled with a way to let her know how I cared...what better way than to pose topless in a calendar. :)
When I first came to Calendar Girls' house for the shoot, I was uneasy and to be honest, very scared - I just didn't know what to expect. It wasn't until I met Calendar Girl that I was comfortable and confident that this was the right thing to do. As hard as it may be to believe, this felt so natural. This was a life changing experience for me, and I would strongly encourage others to participate. My mom and I were very emotional after the shoot...it brought us together. I would pose for this calendar every year for the next 20 years - no questions asked. I applaud the efforts of Calendar Girl for starting this calendar - it is incredible and I truly cannot thank her enough for this extraordinary opportunity.
Thank you...I had an absolutely awesome experience!!!

Thanks for the chance to share in your calendar, it was a truly amazing experience.

This is my second year submitting photos to the BoC calendar... The first year I just rounded up a few friends and a free afternoon to see what we could come up with. The results were photographically mixed, but psychologically amazing. After a few drinks and indigo girls songs on the stereo... we couldn't have imagined not trying the whole thing out. The second year the ideas came flying fast and furious and now I am convinced that I will keep submitting as long as the calendar and Sue will have me! It has been such a positive experience... From both sides of the camera!
--------------------------
When I first was asked by my friend to take photos of me and a few other ladies, I was a bit intimidated. I didn't think I would have the gall to take off my shirt in front of someone. Retrospectively, I am so glad to have had this opportunity! It was quite a liberating experience and really great for my shy soul!
---------------------------
Too much Fun!!! Sue, your ability to educate, entertain and enlighten is contagious. Thus ends my first blog :)

Well, the party is winding down. The strawberries have been eaten, the dishes are done and the last 7 or so of us are hanging out on the deck chatting. It has been fun to see the models come, wait expectantly to receive their copy the 2006 calendar, and see their reactions when they finally saw the pictures for the first time. This time last year I was one of them waiting to see my picture in the 2005 calendar, so it was really neat to watch from the other side this time around. After taking a look through 2006 I can say that I really think that this calendar is the best one yet. - Miss September 2005

It's after midnight. Doors closed. Calendar Girl is pooped.

It's really amazing how liberating so many of you find the experience to be.
Sue you asked if it would be as liberating to men. I'm not sure. We don't have the same inhibitions about nudity placed on us. I really wanted to be part of Spencer Tunick's shoot when he was last in Melbourne but it didn't work out. I think I would like it, but I don't know if I would find it liberating.
I hope I find out one day.
Happy Calendar party everyone!
