[Culturechat] Playboy move over, here come the Swiss farm girls

[Vance Roy]

It seems that in Austria for several years, there has been a highly 
successful farm girl calendar published. Taking a page from the 
Austrians, there is now in preparation a Swiss Farm Girl calendar. It 
seems there are fifty young daughters and wives of Swiss farmers lined 
up to compete for twelve spots on the calendar to be published for next 
year. The Austrian 2000 version sold out in three days, and the Swiss 
are hoping for such success.

Five of these fifty symbols of pulchritude come from central CH. The 
aim of the producers is to show that farm girls are not staid and 
conservative but are erotic and passionate. One candidate says that she 
thinks it very natural since she has worked as a model already. Another 
contestant says that it is fine with her parents, and that her husband, 
after some initial skepticism, has come around to the idea.

The whole outfit is not geared to big monetary gain, but if there is a 
profit, those in charge say that they may be a small honorarium paid to 
the ladies. There are to be between two and four thousand calendars 
printed, and they will debut at the Swiss national farm exhibition in 
St. Gallen in October.

You can get yours at www.bauernkalendar.ch  They have already received 
two hundred orders at 38.50 CHF apiece.

Just in time for the summer Idyllers to pick up a souvenir.
