Several years ago, a group of women curlers decided on a surefire way to gain attention for their sport: lots of flesh. They posed for a Women of Curling calendar which featured some of the more attractive broomers (or stone throwers or whatever they do) sans clothing. The calendar has become a yearly fundraiser for various charities, with the 2009 edition featuring some of the spiciest photos yet.
And the EDMONTON SUN says that- shockingly - calendars with hot women in various states of undress happen to be very popular. They report that this year’s calendar has sold about 2,000 copies since it was released in September, a very good number for a non-Olympic year.
(Photos of the curling cuties after the jump)
One of the reasons for its success, according to the creator of the calendar? The popularity of some of the Canadian curlers/models:
“Christine Keshen is back wearing a hat and not much else,” said Karrys. “It’s a very nice hat.”
Yes, I’m sure the people buying the calendar are very excited about the hats. Needless to say, most guys wouldn’t mind tossing their stones through these women’s hog lines, if you catch my drift? (You don’t? The hog line is the blue line that represents the…never mind, just look it up on Wikipedia.)
Now if only we can get the women in other sports to decide they need attention as much as women’s curling. Tennis seems to be under appreciated. And for the purposes of this discussion, I would definitely consider college cheerleading a sport.
And now thanks to SCANNER (possibly NSFW), here’s a selection of shots of some of the sweeping sweeties (click on the pics for larger versions):

The girl in the black & white photo could melt ice.

Sorry but the first one with her back turned and that red phallic stick in her back has the body of a 11 year old girl: sticks for legs, no hips and zero ass.
And the rest of the calendar is as boring as their 'sports' (if you call shuffleboard on ice a sport then my aunt Gertie is an olympic athlete as are therest of her retirement home).
Then again, it could have been worse….it could have been nekked women bodybuilder or …<gasp!>… WNBA players!!!

And the redhead on the beach is at the top of mine. I wonder if Santa can fit her in a stocking because if not, I have some wonderful ideas…

These girls are actually cuter than I thought they would be.

The 2010 Canadian Women’s championship just finished up (12 team tournament) and there were about a half dozen young, smokin’ hot babes curling there that definitely belong on a 2010 pinup calendar. Stunning.

O Canada!

let’s see those hotties from PEI in this calendar

“The girl in the black & white photo could melt ice.”
Considering that her average temperature is somewhere around 98.6 F, I’m sure she could. Heck, I bet you could too if you really tried!

Surprisingly, I got a bit worked up watching Cheryl Bernard’s a** as she slid across the ice…
2:20 am on February 24th, 2010
Cheryl Bernard is one hot 43 year-old! Slim with a nice rack….
