Kyewt Firemen
My inability to objectify people is functioning and intact. I also knew that a lot of these men were married, so even if they were, y'know, firefighters... they were kyewt.
This year's calendar is very nice. The photographs are clever, risque, and very professional. Humor and sexiness come together in poses with axes and firemen's poles; everyone is smiling, which makes the hotness wholesome. (November, my best friend's birthday month, is a just-regular-guys shot with the engine and a couple of dalmatians.) The smiling makes it less of a beefcake calendar than commercial pinup calendars usually are. I like that a lot. One of the women (Kim, in March) signed with "Girls Kick Ass". {big grin) She's a Seattle firefighter, and, yeah... she's gorgeous.
As one of the guys signed a picture where he posed classically oiled-up and shirtless, I asked if he had fun doing the calendar. He dithered before answering yes. Some of the guys do these year after year, but they *are* just regular guys, so the teasing (and the ogling at the signings) might get a little old/embarrassing. In fact, the one that I know -- Ray -- has done previous years but didn't do 2006. I also asked Mr. April if he would do it again for next year's. "I'm from Vancouver [WA]," he said by way of explanation. "It's a long commute."
KP brought a friend and bought 2 calendars herself... yay! Because she wouldn't have known about it if I hadn't mentioned it a few days ago, and sent her the link to the site. She was very pleased. That's more $ and more promotion for the WSCFF!
The red rubberband-bracelets that they gave out at the door said "Hot for the Cause". Yeah.
I had another squee-moment at work yesterday when I realized that we're doing a loan for a guy who lists his employment as "Animation Lead". ^_^ *AND* I got invited to a private Metals Guild party tonight! Hurrah for being "sponsored"!

Tiring, huh? {pouts} I also took the Sci-Fi alter ego quiz, but I kept getting "Star Trek" results. (But Scotty. I don't mind that.) How do they know these things?
