Calendars - Part 93

Doncaster Brewery and Tap

The Doncaster Brewery brews beer in the city of Doncaster, Yorkshire, England.  They also run the Tap, a pub that sells their beer.

In 2020, they put out a nude calendar that featured Brewery and Tap employees and customers.  In this copy of the calendar image for June, some text unfortunately overlays the photo, but in the actual calendar, the text wouldn't be there.

Like most British nude calendars, it conceals frontal views, though rear views are shown, and it supports a charity.  All proceeds from the calendar were donated to Firefly, a cancer charity that helps local people in need, and in particular aims to remove the stigma around personal cancer for young people.  I presume that for young men, "personal cancer" refers to testicular cancer.

Here's an example of a month from the 2020 calendar.  For some reason, the calendar images were in black-and-white, although the calendar was clearly printed in color, which strikes me as very odd.  What were they thinking?  Were they going for a vintage look?  Because the photos would look much better in color.

This color photo shows a photographer doing a photoshoot for the calendar.

And this photo was also said to have been taken during a photoshoot.  I don't know if it made it into the calendar or not, but if it did, it would have been printed in black-and-white, which in my opinion would ruin most of the charm of the photo.

They put out another calendar in 2022, with the proceeds again donated to Firefly.  This is one of the monthly images.

And this shows a photoshoot for the the calendar.

We end with another photo showing a calendar photoshoot.  There's something amiss when the photos of the photoshoot look better than the photos in the calendar.

King's College Rugby Calendar 2015 

These images are from the King's College, London, 2015 rugby calendar.  The gallery of images had no indication of which image went with which month.

Like most British nude calendars, the proceeds went to charity, in this case, Broken Rainbow UK, an organization that helps victims of LGBT domestic violence.

The copper lion is Reggie, the college mascot.

A game of billiards.  Like most British nude calendars, frontal views are carefully blocked.

Relaxing at a bar.

This looks like a library hallway.

Locker room antics.

A class in human physiology?

The Round Reading Room, Maughan Library.

Going up?  Or perhaps a part of you is going up.

Stairway to heaven.

Calendars - Part 91

Ripped & Stripped 2015

Many British nude calendars are put out by university sports teams, but there are also private calendars, such as the Ripped and Stripped calendars by photographer Nick Baker.   

As usual for these British calendars, part of the proceeds went to charity.  20% of the proceeds of this 2015 calendar went to three charities ...

the Albert Kennedy Trust, which supports young homeless LGBT people ...

Ballboys Testicular Cancer ...

and Macmillan Cancer Support.

So people who buy the calendars can feel good while ogling the photos.

The 2015 calendar features eight athletic guys ...

on the beach.

Frontal views are concealed ...

if only just barely ...

but not rear views ...

so we can use our imagination ..

or not.
