Desktop wallpaper and electronic schedulers have tried to eliminate the need for the traditional wall calendar...and failed.
Sometimes there’s just no replacing the user friendliness of paper - cross-platform compatible, instantly accessible, multi-user readable and writeable, feather light, and literally, paper thin.
Choosing the theme of your calendar is a difficult task - there are so many, and you commit for a whole year. But the 2010 “Asslympics” Calendar, following on the heels of the 2009 “Assberta” Calendar, is bound to put a smile on your face!
Who can resist the rosy cheeks of Mike Dorion as he explores the sports of the Winter Olympics, butt-naked. Every month you will be treated to a new feat of Dorion’s bravery as he boldly goes where few asses would dare go uncovered (-35°)!
The face behind the ass (or should I say, in front of it) is that of a local Albertan who has chosen to donate 20% of proceeds from calendar sales to AIDS Calgary, on behalf of Artists for Quality of Life.
You may have seen Dorion promoting the calendar at the Cut-a-thon, in the retail tent at last year’s ARGRA rodeo, at the Calgary Taboo Show, or most recently at the Texas Lounge (where he was brutally ravaged onstage by drag queens). Sorry guys, he’s straight, but he’ll sign pictures of his ass for you nonetheless!
Mike has graciously extended a two-for-one deal to GayCalgary and Edmonton Magazine readers who mention this article when making their purchase. At a mere $20, it’s a steal!
While You’re At It...
Bo Dixon Reinvented
COLT muscle god Bo Dixon has released his first all-Bo calendar that’s sure to be a fan pleaser. The calendar can be purchased online at BoDixon.net for $24.95 US, tissues not included.
Working Men
Rentboy.com, a website for professional escorts, released a calendar of “Working Men” that features over 80 photos of 13 male international porn stars – so don’t put it somewhere that the parents will see! The calendar is available on Amazon.com for $9.95.
Gods of Football:
The Making of the 2009 Calendar
If you thought last year’s Australian Gods of Football calendar was off-the-wall-sexy like I did, you can now purchase a special behind the scenes DVD! Watch the footballers transform from professional athletes into international male models, and explore a side of their personalities never before exposed. The documentary is available in Priape stores across Canada, and online for $29.95.
