Girly calenders

January 01 2015

I called in to one of our suppliers 2 weeks ago to pick up some parts for work.As I was about to leave when he asked me if I wanted a 2015 calendar . We usually get one from him so said yes thanks but this time he asked if I wanted one for home or the workshop.I got the workshop version as I know the boys at work would kill me if I bought back a calendar with some pictures of cats or dogs or the like.Most of the larger companies send us one but in the last ten years they have morphed from the girly type to pictures of super cars and hot rods.My question is this.Does anyone get offended by these types of calendars on the wall.They are tasteful,topless attractive woman and nothing more. They are not able to be viewed by our customers -only the staff in the tea room.Do they have a place in modern times.Is it PC gone too far or a well needed change. Mr Luvsilver

    Or men get to have the nekkid sexy firemen type calendars too Mr Luv?😜...just another anachronistic way to continue the objectification of women....Oh,hang on...where am I again?...😊.of course there are men who would prefer the sleek lines of a Big Mac chassis...give them a choice 😉xxFreya

    From a personal perspective, PC has gone mad. As a public servant you wouldn't find a calendar like that at our work, we can't even speak openly about certain topics because of PC. If you're the boss you may have to have a plan B is anyone is offended but on a personal level I don't mind at all. In fact you will always find a non PC calendar in our place - because I buy the calendars they're always of shirtless men 😉 Mary xx

    is when the women in the photo get in the way of an engine bay shot... I wouldn't care if they had both men and women in the pictures if needed to keep a mixed sexual preference audience happy.... but I honestly prefer great photography showing interesting aspects of cars. Great engine bays, underbody aerodynamics... clever radiator packaging. From a business perspective, if you're putting them up in the tea room then you'd better absolutely know what your staff will be happy with.

    a "girly calendar" for the men to enjoy (and lesbians)... I'd insist on a "manly" calendar for the women, gay and bi men to enjoy too. Let everyone share the visual appreciation of beauty.*When I used to work in the public service a lifetime ago I was totally opposed to the girly calendars... then I saw the "fireys calandar" and it brightened my work day.*I also worked for a construction company with many tradies on site in the workshop. Girly calendars adorned the walls and the unisex toilets had porn magazines in racks next to the loo ... eewww ... I found that was a bit over the top. The office girls always had a naked male calendar on their walls. This was within the last 10 years. A very non-PC workplace environment but then we were all very open about sexuality and had many laughs. It was a joy to go to work there. No prudes. *If everyone is ok with it then nude calendars are fine so long as everyone is catered for equally. Discretion is important as is sensitivity in the workplace. LG

    It will only take one person getting offended to ruin it for everyone. This happened 10+ years ago when I worked in the mining industry, it had always been a boys club out on the mine sites but things eventually changed. In my current workplace we have no calendars but very open discussion about everything, but as boss I have to keep an eye on things to make sure no one is offended. Just the times we live in. Mr HnH

    in the women's locker room at work and if the men have a girly calender in their locker room, I neither know nor care. I wouldn't expect to see either one in the tea room though. I think it's inappropriate in public areas.

    at my work but I haven't seen them at my suppliers :( I don't now what the issue is, if my partner came home all aroused from seeing a pair of tits on a calendar at work, I think it would be awesome. I have some risque pictures (beautiful pics of naked men and women posing sexually) as my desktop that I change around here and there and my cousin came over and saw the computer and she said to my son, do you think that is appropriate? I said to her, that is my computer, not his! Then she asked if I was starting to 'bat for the other team' because it happened to be a picture of a woman. I said, no, it is just beautiful picture??

    And only if they're clothed. We wouldn't want the fun police to be called in. Personally, I'm not interested in photos of naked or semi naked women for the same reason I don't go to strip joints. If I cant touch it, I don't want to see it.

    The only PC around here is squeezing the love out of my old feller Mr Luv Which reminds me, Tara was telling me all the pressies she is sending off to family under the long white cloud, all but the brother in-law, she has to go shopping for his nudie girl calendar he gets one every year. Which reminds me about that PC thing again and it's likely the fireman calendar by the nudie girls is working in our favour Mado Tara xx

    We are only a small business Freya and no females go in to that room other than Mrs Luv.If a fireman type calendar went up then I certainly would not have an issue with it other than trying to get Mrs Luv out of there sometimes.In fact I am sure she still has an old Manpower calendar with her favourite hunk of the era - (Jamie Durie) stashed away somewhere.

    Fully agree with you on that one Mado.I remember what Mrs Luv came home like after seeing Manpower all those years ago.A bit like a caged cat about to be released-lolI like the way you think sometimes. Mr Luvsilver

    Mr luv Anyhow, I'd bet a nut on it, that if you were to ask Mrs Luv a question relating to a particular detail of a sort about that Manpower calendar, she'd have it out in a flash to settle your inquiry.

    Years ago *gather round kiddies and listen to Uncle Jean talk about the olden days*, those calendars were, like you said, a dime a dozen. Next thing I'm getting calendars with bowls of fucking fruit or bread arrangements on them.... it's got that bad that I'd kill for a puppy or kitten one! I have to say, I kinda like that they've gone underground - it makes it easier to choose which one gets hung in the shed.
