The Women’s Institute, famously portrayed in the 2003 hit movie Calendar Girls, has boosted its membership hugely in recent years with a range of unorthodox techniques
The Nomad Alliance, a charity based in Salt Lake City, Utah , produces a calendar, named Sexy Nomads each year filled with pictures of bare-chested men living on the streets.
When the ladies of Rylstone Women’s Institute produced their calendar of sepia-toned nudes in 1999, they couldn’t have known the actions they took would resonate so strongly with the public that they’d raise more than six million pounds for Blood Cancer UK and their story would inspire countless interviews and articles, more calendars, books, a movie, a musical.
