Thank God we didn’t do this for the begathon.
Giving sultry looks and sexy smiles to the camera, 12 Pittsburgh-area women recently posed at Monongahela historical sites, baring it all — or almost all — to create a charity-driven calendar.
Hey, sounds good so far, right? Wrong. So, very, very wrong.
The catch?
The nearly nude ladies are all in their 70s and 80s, driven to adventure by a desire to raise money for a historical society in Monongahela, a small community 17 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
Gah!
Overcoming fears the priest would walk by during a photo shoot or embarrassing their children and grandchildren, the women — all well-known members of the tight-knit community — are now eagerly awaiting the calendar’s debut next month. The money it generates will go to the Monongahela Area Historical Society.
Yes, they expect people to pay money.
The calendar was the brainchild of 80-year-old Lorys Crisafulli. She came up with the idea when she saw the movie Calendar Girls, a 2003 flick starring Helen Mirren in which a group of British women publish a nude calendar to raise money for cancer research.
“I thought, why don’t we do that in Monongahela?” she told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Um, BECAUSE YOU’RE 80, you crazy old nekkid bat!

Matt, do recall your manners. The last comment could stop at 80 and still convey your message.
The calendar notion is obviously not practical in this circumstance, at least not to most of us.
EEEWWWWWWW!
Why did this come to mind?

Always a pleasure when my old hometown gets in the news.
Matt — File my idea for next year’s begathon.
The LST Swim Suit Calendar. I feel certain we have enough shapely ones here for that.
A thank you is not necessary.
#4.
I pray to God that cooler heads prevail.
Panhandle, stand at intersections with little orange buckets, hold a car wash, sell firewood, mug a Girl Scout, steal her cookies and sell them(I prefer thin mints), set up a lemonaid stand…only DON”T DO A SWIMSUIT CALENDAR!!!
Please
(this post does not support inflicting violence on Girl Scouts, and no animals were harmed in the making of this reply
Can you imagine Smackie in a swim suit?
#6 twocute,
You are a bad bad woman and I’m going to report you to the authorities. I don’t know where any authorities are, but if I ever find them you’ll certainly be reported.
8^)
Dude did I make you need to wash out your minds eye?
EEEEEEEWWWWWWW
Where is Smackie today guys, anyone seen him? (swim suit optonal)
Good on them! I hope they raise lots of money. At least they still have a sense of humour and no doubt did the calendar using their senses of humour…it was for a good cause. There are lots worse things going on in the world today than this.
LST Nude Calender?
Muhwahahahaha, snicker, snicker
Matzilla posing with a fig leaf, David tastefulley laid out on a bear skin rug, Jeremy in a panda plaid thong and ME…… Squawk? Fuggidabowdit. Maybe a speedoh with a huge beach towel wrapped around me. This bod ain’t seen sunlight in about 25 years.
EWWWW…I can’t imagine any woman in her 70’s or 80’s looking good on a calendar. Talk about lines (and I don’t mean lines on a Big Chief tablet either)!
Perhaps this idea came someone who ran away from their nursing home who was suffering from a case of dementia.
Come on Squawkie, its you or Evil e pee and you really would not do that to us would you?
#9 Sunny I am with you on this….I bet this calendar is tastefully done and covers everything it is supposed to. IT’s getting great press and I hope they make a killing on it……. spunky women are ageless.
I vote with Sunny #9 & American woman #13 on this one. More power to the ladies of Monongahela Historical Society for having enough gumption to try the idea! From what I read at http://www.townhall.com/News/NewsArticle.aspx?contentGUID=f2c175cc-d01b-4f7b-a07a-7da75a4338f1&page=full&comments=true#comments their calendar sounds pretty darn funny and fun especailly Miss December who “gives a sultry glance from behind a poinsettia centerpiece with two strategically placed red Christmas balls.” Some balls, I bet!
Yo, Matt! Guess you won’t be getting married anytime soon. Your future wife will turn into a person who won’t get near you with a ten-foot pole, because you will think of her as a “crazy old nekkid bat!”
And you, my friend, will turn into a testosterone-vacant, estrogen-dominant, mental equivalent of a two-year-old who will not remember where you left your glasses.
Careful — your agist, sexist mentality is showing. Good thing there isn’t any race involved or you might have been banned.
Now, go do some hours in community service at a senior care center and see how the other half lives. Remember, they are future LST Begathon contributors.
