New Wrinkle in the Nude Calendar World
More than two dozen women in Aiken, S.C., have brought new meaning to dropping everything to help charity.
The women, all older than 60, show up wearing little more than pearls and smiles on 18 months of hot-off-the-presses pages in the “Still Magnolia” calendar.
The calendar is less graphic than it is revealing about how a group of women came together to raise money for local programs for older residents, including Meals on Wheels.
The Aiken women found inspiration in the work of the Rylstone District Women’s Institute in North Yorkshire, England. In 1999, a group of middle-aged women posed nude for “The Ladies of Rylstone” calendar, an instant hit that raised money for leukemia research.
