Do we have an article on that women's club somewhere in England that, one
year, put out their annual calendar showing them going about their regular
club activities (gardening, tea, etc.) nude? IIRC, they were all in their
fifties and sixties at the time, and the calendar sold quite well. I wish I
could remember more details.
