What would possess a (somewhat) normal person to produce a calendar of nude women and their dogs? I ask myself that all the time and so do other people, so here's the story:
Almost 12 years ago, I saw a news program about people in New York having photos taken nude with their pets. I thought it was a very novel idea and this information lodged itself in a small part of my brain to burst forth again at an opportune time. That time came in the Fall of 2003, the idea leaked out of its hiding place and presented itself to me in all its glory. I mulled it over, could I get 12 women to drop their clothes for charity? Those women in England did it, so why can't we? I called my sister, she agreed to do it, I had 10 more women to find.
Do you know how stupid I felt asking customers to pose nude with their dog for a calendar? Fortunately, I have a knack for picking women who are as crazy as I am (we're pretty sure I'm certifiable at this time). They thought it was a great idea and the calendar was born!
