Calendar Pages

I’ve now been writing this Caught in the Net column for 52 weeks — a whole year! It seems remarkable that I’ve been able to find enough quirky sexy stuff to write about, week in and week out, for twelve long months . . . and yet, my bookmarks folder for Caught in the Net stuff is longer than ever. I could stop surfing the net right now, and still not run out of material for months. In the spirit of passing time, here’s a look at some strange and/or sexy calendars for the next year of our lives:

The Nerdcore 2008 Heroes/Villains calendar is a genius idea — twelve months of scantily-clad superheroines and their nemeses. Granted, a costume that consists only of a cape, a thong, and some boots isn’t exactly practical, but there’s more to life than fighting crime. (The calendar also notes geek milestones, like the dates of Comic-Con and Captain Jean-Luc Picard’s birthday. What more could you want?)

For those of you who like to note the passage of time with a riding crop in hand, there’s the Kinky Style Fetish Calendar 2008, full of beautiful women in various kinky circumstances. Personally, I would’ve put the bound-in-a-running-shower photo in April rather than October (”April showers,” you know), but these are issues on which reasonable persons may disagree. (Premier sex blog Fleshbot has a special preview with bigger images for each month, too.)

It would be futile to attempt any sort of comprehensive round-up of calendars featuring bare-breasted beauties, so here are a couple of highlights: British cheesecake model Lucy Pinder’s 2008 calendar, and lad-rag favorite Kelley Hazell’s nude calendar (She’s doing a “family friendly” calendar without nudity, too . . . still, that must be one interesting hypothetical family.)

There are calendars full of scantily-clad boys out there, too, of course, from the shirtless missionaries of Mormons Exposed to some equally shirtless rugby players. Mmm, man-cake!

Finally, not actually a calendar, but very much about marking time: “365 the mofo way” is one photographer’s project to post a photo of a different person every day for a year. Why is this of interest? Well, the people are frequently only partially clothed, or making lewd gestures, or otherwise provocatively posed. It’s a hell of a way to pass the time.

Here’s to another year!
