MUMSNET CALENDAR GIRLS!!!!!!!!

Well, are you up for it? Tech, you won't need any more subscription money (sorry, I will pay up soon!), How about a Mumsnet calendar, seriously. There must be loads of mums out there (or the odd dad) who would do it. Personally, my honed toned body is way too good to show off to others, apart from my Dh of course, but if some of you would bare all, (or maybe not quite all) we could do something to promote mumsnet and maybe something for charity as well. All those of you going, "give me a break. the woman's mad", just think about that lady who is going to be a nan and she's only 36!!!!!! You know who you are and I bet if something could be arranged (you know how your wedding photos always make you look brilliant) well, to be honest, if I had a little bit of something over my important little place, I'd do it. Can you imagine how many family and friends would buy it for a laugh. We could support a charity that's dear to mumsnetters (suggestions?) and involve organisations such a La Leche, NCT for advertising etc. Maybe mumsnetters know some photographers who would do it for a reduced fee (and in my case, the odd plasterer and upholsterer!!) but seriously, what do you think? (Dadslib, I haven't heard from you in ages or Tom, where are you and do you fancy doing the equality bit and getting some of your clothes off?) And Bear, and whichever male person I may have forgotten, I apologise in advance. This will either sink or swim, I think, but in any case, it's made you all think about would you do it??!!!! XXXXXXX

I might, for the right charity...

pie · 24/01/2004 20:33

A ball, now a calender...it will be a movie next

Not sure how many would want to actually go through with the taking their kit off though!

psst...dadslib left in a blaze of glory

popsycal · 24/01/2004 20:33

jollymum there was a thread which mentioned this afew months ago - lets raise money for charity i think....

popsycal · 24/01/2004 20:34

pie beat me to it1

stupidgirl · 24/01/2004 20:41

Maybe not everyone would get their kit off, but I think as was said in the previous thread - there is a lot of passion, and with it comes power. We could be a force for change, if we set our minds to it...

lavender1 · 24/01/2004 20:42

Think it's a fab idea! although the shots might need airbrushing for cellulite and stuff...how much of us were you thinking of showing?

Jollymum · 24/01/2004 20:52

popsycal and pie-not up for it then? I haven't seen the ball bit yet, but wow, can you imagine the movie? I bet mumsnetters have done every human emotion, every love scene and in my case, possibly every comedy scene going! It was just a thought, is there really going to be a ball and is it virtual or real? If it's virtual, then thank god as I don't have to go real shopping or get a real babysitter! Going back to the comedy, before I go to bed in my sexy PJ's, trying not to thrust my pert boobs and totally flat stomach in everyone's face, a wonderful sentence from my youngest child as we sat in the car (broken down and in a car park) having vainly tried to start my car from Dh's jump leads(which I suspected were on wrong but didn't dare mention). "Dad," ..."YES?" (very crossly), "Dad, what are you going to be when you grow up?"

Smothered laughtter from cold, grumpy mum who KNEW that the bloody leads were probably on wrong but didn't want to cause a row. AA man confirmed that he too could not understand why my car had failed to start but as he wasa sympathetic man, qualified it by saying that perhaps his car was more powerful than Dh's!! I leave you with that image and that of my youthsome, lithe body climibing into my DS1's bed,( 'cos he's not here tonight,) because his room is warm and on the second floor, not the third and because I can have the whole bed to myself, watch his portable and pinch his tin of chocolates hidden under his bed which he doesn't know that I know about, but he will tomorrow when he gets back and the tin is half empty!!

i would get recognised then......and in my job it isnt such a good idea to strip off....

Jollymum · 24/01/2004 21:10

You could wear one of the face masks (the fancy ones) and then if anyone recognised you, weyhey, you must know them reaalllly well!!!!

OP posts:
popsycal · 24/01/2004 21:11

what kind of mask did you have in mind,.,...got some very dodgy images in my mind now...

JanHR · 24/01/2004 21:12

Jollymum, I am game for just about anything.

kiwisbird · 24/01/2004 21:13

Hey I'd do it....

Jollymum · 24/01/2004 21:17

Popsycal-what do you mean (blush, blush) I have no idea what you're talking about ...(hurridly trying to push assorted "toys" to back of computer wardrobe) Ok, this is going to get naughty now, isn't it!! Just a face mask, it can be a surgical one if you want (just realised that Mears and everyone WOULD get recognised...) but I actually meant one of thiose fancy ones that people in Masked Balls wear. (OK, digging a ig hole and getting deeper!!) XXX

kiwisbird-so would I. Honestly, if I was made up (my face, I mean) and had loads of carefully placed items, such as feathers or in my case, whole birds as I am not the thinnest of people, then I would do it. Has anyone on mumsnet been for one of those photoshoots that people such as Olan Mills/ Parasol do, where you are plastered in make up and lounge on a bed/whatever looking stupid and feeling like a right dork. LOOK at the photos...if they can make ordinary people, like me, look like sexy film stars then I am sure that Mumsnetters everywhere would look wonderful. I am one of the older ones here, but there are loads of "youngsters" out there, go on, it would be a laugh and as long as your "naughty bits" are not showing, then you could even let your granparents/mil see the pictures!

Wrong thread kiwi

Jollymum · 24/01/2004 21:42

OK-I'm not talking starkers here. I 'm talking wispy bits of cloth (well, I suppose I would have to shave my legs,) [sigs deeply and wonders what she has started ..] I'm talking Botticelli angels, ok, spottybotty in my case, but you get the drift. No need for brazillians, no need for radical implants or uplifts, just nice tasteful shots..(Oh Ok, you can wear a vest if you're like me and feel the cold) but not naked Playboy stuff. I'd sell millions of copies on my own as people would be queing up to go "Oh no, I can't really believe she did that etc " and hysterically laughing all the way to work. Just think, my body could relieve the national depression problem in one fell swoop, or increase the national sales of chips, as everyone is desperately trying to catch a glimpse of me in the nationals! I really am going to bed now in teddy nightshirt (v.sexy?!) and socks, because my little piggies get cold and when they are natiionally exposed, I don't want them to be blue and full of corns! Night, night, mumsnettters...XXXXX

Strategically placed muslin cloths? Or cot blankets for the super shy

marthamoo · 25/01/2004 22:00

I'd cheer you on, I'd buy lots of copies, but would I pose? Not for a million, trillion, zillion pounds
