Calendars - Part 4

 Dieux du Stade 2004

Dieux du Stade (Gods of the Stadium) is one of the most famous calendars of naked athletes, featuring players from the Stade Français rugby team and later from other teams and sports.  The calendar first came out in 2001, but it became a sensation in 2004.  Let's see why.

Each month was split in half, giving twice the number of photos.  This is the first half of January, with frontal nudity concealed as usual.

This is the second half of January, with rear nudity exposed as usual.  Photos for most other months were similar.

The first half of August showed Frederic Cermeno covered with a wet cloth that left nothing to the imagination.

And there were bonus photos at the end that were even more revealing.  Is Christophe Dominici, at bottom, frontally exposed?

Yes, he is, as a little enlargement and brightening shows.

Another bonus photo showed a partial frontal view of Frederic Deltour.

Deltour was Mr. France in 2003, and he is not shy.  This photo is from a "making of" series, not from the calendar itself.

But this bonus photo of Lionel Gautherie was in the calendar.  He isn't shy, either.

2004 was a very good year.

I loved that these calendars became hot items. Promoting normalcy of the body is a wonderful thing.
