Maybe you saw "Calendar Girls" with Helen Mirren. A group of older British women decide to raise money for the local hospital by making a calendar showing them in the nude. I like the idea but I think that part of the trouble with the way we live now is too much emphasis on sex, sexual attractiveness, youthfulness, etc. So, I think our local organizations should have a calendar, too, but the picture for each month should be a local woman alternating with a local man.
The pictures should be portraits carefully and imaginatively composed in a typical setting, fully clothed, that shows that person's natural looks. Maybe they should just be head shots. It may be the faces that have the most visual value. We would accept applications and nominations for the final 6 men and 6 women. We could aim the other way and take pictures for each month only when the "winners" have just stepped out of bed in the morning. We would show the winners as they first see themselves in the morning mirror.
We will be taking orders sometime soon. Now that I think of it, maybe it would be more interesting to have women pick the women and men pick the men. I would like to have some sort of aged beauty show forth, the sort of looks that show accomplishment and admirable maturity.
