Not at all Superman.....simply send me your mailing address via email and I‘ll have one sent out to you!
FYI: anyone requesting a calendar or postcard, send an email with your name, rank, and address (Veteran‘s too!), with "Pin Up" in the subject line - makes it easier for me to identify your mail
Thanx & Kisses

This thread is stupid. How are some of you going to handle incoming lead with the thin skin you panzies have.

A "male pinup girl". Yes, I can see that in your case, your brain would be probably smaller than your 5.5 inch penis. My apologies.
An exception to every rule...

Actually, speaking of pics, if any of you (boys and girls) have some digitals (or scanned) photos laying around of you at base or on tour, I‘d love to have a copy!

TO SLIM.........
Darlin, I‘m just reading thru your last post (thanx!) and wanted to comment.......
Regarding my support of the troops.....No, it is not restricted to the boys, tho the Pin-Ups lend themselves to a male audience more than a female audience (notice I said *more than* not *entirely).....
I got an email one day from a female soldier with JFSC who had seen one of my Pics on their Morale Board. She was actually writing to congratulate me on being Miss JFSC 2003, and to ask what brand of lipstick I wear. One email led to another and we sort of became pen-pals. In Jan 04, she was off to Baghdad and after a week or so, she sends me an email asking if she could call. She did, and called several times during her tour. It was her first deployment, and a tough one, but she made it, and I think we‘ve both made a new friend!
Granted, the majority of mail I get is from male soldiers, but there are, surprisingly enough, a number of females that also write and I welcome them all.
Kindness and caring is not, and should not, be sex-restricted.
Kisses

Kay,
Thanks for the pics. I scanned your site and like your work. I‘ll be contacting you later.
I also enjoy Silvia Pecota‘s work too. Her picture "The Kiss" is fantastic.
For those of us who have been away, any little reminder of home is always welcome. I do agree with Brinn11 though. Working close with equal numbers of women/men as I do, I know the women would enjoy a similar morale boosting series....but I find they are a little more picky(for lack of better terms) about the model.
Having said that...The rest of you:
GROW UP!!!!!!!
STAT

CF officers bring IWD ideals to life
By Ruthanne Urquhart
A brainstorming session in Kabul, Afghanistan has resulted in a flood of cash in support of Afghan women, and three CF officers have marked International Women's Day in a big way.
Just five days before International Women‘s Day (March 8), Majors Deborah McKenzie and Theresa Norsworthy were discussing what they could do to mark the occasion. They decided on a calendar featuring female personnel of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) stationed in Kabul, with proceeds from the sale of the calendar benefiting Afghan women in distress. They enlisted Maj Rita LePage (media liaison), and the three pulled it all together. The idea received immediate approval and support from all the key players at HQ ISAF.
â Å“We desperately wanted to do something for women in Afghanistan over and above what is required in our day-to-day jobs,â ? said Maj Norsworthy. â Å“The support and encouragement we have received has been very rewarding, and has given us hope that our small idea and group effort may have a greater impact on women's shelters here.â ?
The small idea became the "Military Women assisting the empowerment of Afghan Women" calendar. Shot free of charge by Dutch photojournalist Ed Frieser, the calendar features a group photo of female ISAF personnel and Canada's Lieutenant-General Rick Hillier, the new ISAF commander, on the cover. Inside pages highlight personnel from various member nations of the force including Canada, Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, the UK and the US.
The original plan was to sell the April 2004 to March 2005 calendar during International Women's Week, with â Å“all proceeds going to women's shelters within the Kabul city area,â ? Maj McKenzie said. â Å“I don‘t believe anyone can imagine the oppression that women in Afghanistan have faced until they actually see it with their own eyes. I cannot tell you how privileged I feel, that we can perhaps make a small difference to these women.â ?
The print run of 100, which took about 10 hours to produce on the equipment at hand, sold out in an hour, raising about $1 500. That was as far as the original plan went because â Å“we don't have a lot of time or resources here,â ? said Maj LePage. â Å“But we are all women who have choices, who had the option to serve, and we wanted to do something to help give the same possibility of choice to Afghan women.â ?
Like all good plans, this one took on a life of its own. Mr. Frieser arranged for a printer in the Netherlands to produce a second print run of 500 (also free of charge) so additional orders from personnel in Kabul can be filled.
â Å“We are continuing to take orders from military members here, and the calendar has been very well received by everyone,â ? said Maj McKenzie. â Å“Of greater surprise is the response we have received from people in Canada. I can only hope they fully understand how fortunate we are as Canadiansâ â€perhaps raising the awareness of even just a few Canadians will make this all worthwhile. However, what is most important is trying to positively affect the lives of these women in Afghanistan.â ?

I think we all know who will be showing up for FEB, the month of love.
on a side note, do women over there really want to change how they fit in the culture? Are we doing a good thing or are we pushing our wester views on an easter culture.
"Well WE think women should vote so you better start letting them" kindathing.
Maybe thats best left to another thread though.

Ummmmmm......what guys? I thought I already had! (or did that sarcasm escape me?)
Raising funds for less fortunate societies has always been very high on my list of *support* issues, but since this thread is dedicated to troop support, I‘ll not delve into my CV here. But regarding the state and conditions of Women‘s shelters in Afghanistan is one that I, along with other internet models who rally for the Armed Forces, have taken a keen interest in. In 2003, we donated $5,000 U.S. to the cause.
I think we must keep in mind that offering monetary assistance for these women (or any such entity) should not be confused with offering a new life, and in reality, I do not believe it is our lot in life to offer such. Many of these societies, that we feel are backwards, oppressive, etc., are older and more established than Canada itself, and frankly, many of these women wouldn‘t know how to live outside of it. Truely, many of them are unhappy but so are thousands and thousands of our own Canadian women. While we can offer assistance and try to make the world a better place for them to live and flourish, I question to what degree we have the right to actually change and reinvent the course of natural society development.
Don‘t get me wrong, I wish these women a better life, and it‘s thru education and the luxury of choice that we will see their eventual growth, but ultimately, it will only be thru escapism to other countries, or the revamping of their existing governments that will see any short-term changes or improvements to their existing society and their role in it.........and that‘s an entirely different thread!

A few points to ponder
If I put up pictures of naked men in my office, or in the mess, don‘t you think people would eventually complain? Even though all the girls may like to look at a firefighters calendar, not everyone is going to share that opinion. If would have to come down because it‘s offensive to some. Whether it‘s naked men OR naked women, it‘s inappropriate for the workplace.
Next, a heterosexual, female friend of mine has a tattoo of a 40s FEMALE piup on her arm. Not every woman finds pictures like that offensive.
As far as being professional in the workplace, I agree completely. If a guy wants to look at porn in his spare time, that‘s his decision, but if it interferes with his work, then it should be taken control of. I think military women or men being objectified in front of their fellow soldiers provides a compromising situation as well. For an officer‘s wife to pose in a calendar is one thing, but a for a co-worker to do it, it makes a very difficult work environment. We‘re all supposed to be integrating and working as a team, and if you can‘t keep your personal and your professional life seperate, then it will cause problems for everyone.
For women who CHOOSE to be models, strippers, or otherwise choose to display their body to the public, good for them. It‘s their free choice, and they‘re not being forced into it. It doesn‘t put back women‘s rights, because women are just as guilty as objectifying men (but typically men son‘t seem to mind as much). Go to a strip club; when women are stripping, men are sitting and watching. If one stands up and tries to touch the dancer, they‘re hauled out on their ear. Compare this to male strippers; women jump on, grab, grope, fondle, dance with, and otherwise are all over this guy. Who do you think is getting the fair shake in this deal? Who would you say is being more objectified?
