Following the lead of a sister organization in Austria, the Association of Young Bavarian Farmers has produced an "erotic farm girls calendar" to "present young farmers as modern and open-minded entrepreneurs and do away with the antiquated image and do away with preconceptions".
The Association's mission (pdf) states "We are cutting-edge entrepreneurs who do our utmost for a socially-responsible and modern agriculture". The calendar features 12 scantily-clad (and apparently socially responsible) frauleins posing against a variety of rural backdrops. Very few are doing anything relating to farming, but at least they tried to pay homage to the traditional farm wife with this one:
Now, I don't know about you, but if we're talking about getting rid of the "antiquated image" of farm life, a pin-up girl barefoot and making bread in the kitchen is hardly a good start...
Although I suppose a sexy farm calendar could have ended up much worse.
The campaign might have had a chance to rise above Sun-girl artistic status if they were all actually doing farm work, and not just posing in a run-of-the-mill photoshoot...
ReplyDeleteI don't know about that, Christopher. Miss February has clearly entered the sheep pen in her underwear with the intent of knitting herself a nice, modest, knee-length sweater.
ReplyDeleteI had a GREAT comment but this thing ate it up! I was commenting on how the League of German Girls (under whatsisface from Germany in the 1930s -- this thing doesn't like the name OR the name of his party) sent off city girls to farms and that this caused a baby boom. Now if they had a similar model nowadays, maybe more city boys would want to be farm boys!
ReplyDelete(And I, for one, like the calendar. Well, the pictures anyway.)
This thing has an anti-Godwin filter? Who knew?
