The movie Calendar Girls made it seem so easy. That movie, which was based on a group of British women raising money for leukemia research selling a calendar featuring discreet nude photos of themselves made a fortune.
So, a group of women in Spain who wanted to raise some money for a recreation center in their community thought a calendar would be a great idea. The problem is, they missed out on the Christmas rush last year, and since no one wants to buy calendars in January and February they are out almost $16,000, and the plans for the rec center down the tubes.
These women were not trying to make a fast buck. They were trying to give the few kids in a town of 75% retirees something to do and a place to do it at. Although I understand the printer wants to get paid, I think that he should, at this point only bill them for his costs and not try to make a profit which he apparently is still trying to do. Also, I think the people of Spain need to suck it up and buy the remaining calendars. They are like $8 each, so there are probably only a few thousand still sitting around.
The world has only learned of the problem because the printer is trying to sue them because they are behind on their payments. I know the printer has to make money. I do also know that trying to keep your profit and charging 20% interest to the women isn't exactly pat on the back behavior.
I don't know how to help the women, but if anyone does, then let me know. Oh, and don't ever think that life is like the movies.

At first I LMAO at these pictures...and then I read the story. How sad, the whole situation is such a disaster. I really feel bad for them, because even though they made some stupid mistakes, their hearts were in the right place. I wish I knew how to help them too.
Put 'em on ebay. I'll buy one for my husband.
Are they available online? Without a website, they are sunk.
Isn't the movie "Calendar Girls" based on a true story?
suppose to be base on a true story unless they change the story like they always do.
I wondered if all the press about this would end up helping them sell off the calendars...but none of the stories have shown us yet how to get one if we want one.
Are we sure Ashton isn't behind this story?
I read this on dlisted - it was lacking that distinctly unappetiziing photo of the nekked lady on the table. Do you think they washed that table thoroughly before serving food on it again? Germs can be so nasty...
