Lindner Calendars

First thought: How sick.
Second thought: Well, death belongs to life. You know. And life has so many facets...
Will forward the link to a colleague of mine who teaches ethics to students at a medical vocational college. Should be a good starter for a discussion.

BTW: The Parachute Girls Calender 2013 (clicky for a UTube "making of" video with some nice scenes :P) was also made by a company the project manager of which is a Polish lady. Seems they are quite liberal, huh huh. ;)

I first I thought they were just pinup pics, certainly something I like. Closer examination showed themes, conflicts, nightmares and philosophies on parade. Very interesting work. I thought Eve (with the snake and apple) had outrageously plump lips, but on second thought, naw, they're just amazing. :):D

AFAIK the girls are actual jumpers. The pics were shot in Germany. Their plane's tail number is D-FREE, hence the name of the calendar.
The calendar is available in the US (via PD), too: Have a look here for more details at http://www.pullout.de/parachute_girls.html
And yes, they are cute :)


P.S.: I wonder if there's a calendar featuring nekkid boys available for skydiving girls? B|

That reminds me of something I saw last night;
Search this page for "Avedon", and start reading with that paragraph:http://www.wbur.org/npr/164171555/animal-stage-trainer-makes-stars-out-of-pound-pups

Interesting thoughts.
January, for example, can be seen as a reference to: We are star dust. I do not mean this in a lyrical or religious way; astrophysics tell us we really are made of star dust. But this sounds rather dry, the pic shows it in an artful way.
