I think a "Babes of AMHD" calendar featuring members would be a good idea. The finished calendar could be sold to buy new furniture for the lounge to replace that shabby, plastic stuff.

If enough "babes" don't volunteer we could open it up to the "studs of AMHD." Or maybe print a separate calendar. I'm thinking men in tool belts, that sort of thing (depending on the person's expertise, of course).

I'm thinking Ben and Mrs Ben could share a month.

So far "Alty" has been selected to do a fake fur bikini and one of those fake-fur lined hats with the earflaps in honor of Canada hold a rabbit (or two); Starby's been selected for October (but no outfit has been selected). I'm not sure they're actually aware they've been selected so let's hope they don't read this.

Any thoughts? Any volunteers?

I'll submit my pic first I guess. This is one of my better pictures, I was at a garden party:

Not really sure you want me

You look vaguely familiar to me - ?

Jessica Rabbit could be convinced to make an appearance... ;)

Can I wear my raccoon hat and coat? Or just my raccoon outfit? Or just my raccoon (live that is)? You know, the one that Brad Pitt nudged out of the food bowl on my porch the other night?

Ah, I take that back. Can I wear my gymnosophy outfit and pose for June's photo?

Okay, you're in for June in your gymnosophy outfit. But isn't it half a gymnosophy outfit? The lower half, as I recall, which is fine, because we're trying to sell calendars here. I was hoping you would pose next to one or two racoons. It's okay if they have all their clothes on.

And, speaking of Brad Pitt, I probably haven't posted this before but I look just like Angelina Jolie, except I am blonde and have a better body. Unforunately I can't figure out how to post photos so you'll just have to believe me.

Jessica Rabbit could be convinced to make an appearance.... ;)



Good, that would work for me - any particular month?

Well, in that outfit, it will have to be warm... How about July?

Fine, July it is. You'll be the month following the racoon lady so keep that in mind if you are planning any special effects.

Oooo... good to know. No sweet perfumes for the day of the photo shoot... Check.

:D

I'm Miss July! WOO-HOO!

I also would avoid rolling in dead meat for a day or two before the shoot.

Riiiiight. What would I do without you, JKT? :D

Will excon be around during the shoot?

"We" are hoping he will actually BE in the calendar. I am thinking thong and handcuffs. Or maybe not the handcuffs.

Or maybe not the thong and a strategically placed - I don't know, golf ball, baseball, basketball. I have no personal knowledge in this particular, umm, area, so I don't really know what is, umm, required.

Or maybe he could hold one of the rabbits or racoons.

Now that you've appeared to volunteer excon's services, which month will you be signing up for?

I'm a Scorpio. Is November taken?

I figured excon would be holding things for the photographer. Would there be a group shot for one of the months, or maybe for the cover?

If there are going to be guys in the photos, we'll need to ask Clough and RickJ.

MM hmm... and don't forget our "Friend"... :)

Group shot... that would be cool! :)

Excellent - a group shot. Excellent. I hadn't thought about the cover yet OR the group shot. This calendar may have to cover (pardon the pun) both 2009 AND 2010.

I was thinking maybe excon would want to help with the body makeup.

Hmmm, not sure he's done much with applying makeup (chocolate maybe... ). And he might be too shy?

Great, I just realized that I have to find myself a Roger Rabbit!

Now taking applications for July!

Gee, can I wear my balogna perfume? I've convinced my Jack Russell Dinky to let me borrow some of hers. Or maybe I'll use the sardine perfume instead. Oh, and my top half of my gymnosophy outfit is rather large (thought you'd like to know) so there will be no closeup shots available of me. Just a long shot with the two coonies held over strategic spots of my gymnosophy suit.

Before you start spraying sardine perfume on yourself keep in mind that I - as booking agent - have arranged for several animals (so far dogs, racoons and rabbits) to actually be on the set. Now, I don't know exactly which animals are attracted to the smell of sardines but I think I would research the subject carefully if I were you.

Will we need small coonies or large coonies - just so I know what to order. Or will you be bringing your own?

I am already aware it could be dangerous to wear carrot perfume with the rabbits hanging around.

I am still thinking about my costume and I still haven't picked a month.

We'll need the extra large jumbo sized coonies like Big Daddy (he's a porker) and Stretch Armcoon (she's a porker also). I'll bring them both and wear some of the exotic sardine scent. I don't need any carrot scent as the bunnies could get rowdy.

I was thinking of borrowing Nazda's wolf, Lady, but she's so big that she would definitely be overkill and might eat some of the bunnies as snacks. She does like diesel perfume also as well as the sardine scent but her ultimate favorite is salmon in hot sauce perfume. Now that's refreshing I'm told.

Is this going to be a catered affair as well? Free eats or is there a cover charge involved here?

Free eats. I had not thought of that. I did figure that the alcohol will be flowing - but eats? I'll need a catering manager. Are you volunteering?

Who me?

{raises hand} Oh Judy, I have some ideas for you if you haven't picked out a costume yet... how about...

A bikini made entirely out of M&M's that is held together with someone else's imagination?? Or how about

Columbo's rumpled raincoat provacatively posed??

Uh, I'm still trying to think up some more... be back in the am with some more ideas...

I'll volunteer to be the bartender. I have loads of experience. I used to be a bartender at the Betty Ford Clinic so I know how to mix 'em.

great, i just realized that i have to find myself a roger rabbit!

YOu all are making me laugh so hard! Funny... I want to know what month is good for baking..?

YOu all are making me laugh so hard!! Funny....I wanna know what month is good for baking.....????



It depends upon what you intend to wear while baking. Twinkie is in charge of refreshments so maybe you could do the spread AND bake refreshments at the same time. Try to work carrots into the recipe because it appears we will have a plethora of carrots (I've always wanted to use "plethora" in a sentence).

I am going to do a Columbo-type spread. Sunglasses and a raincoat.

But what month?

Judy... I am going to have the worst tummy ache from laughing if I don't unsubscribe to this thread! Uh... carrots? Really? I suppose I can bake anything but shortbread for some reason, bring it on... how about November, it's cold and everyone needs a little baked good about the beginning of November;) Unless I am making Cupcakes with Carrots, then I should go for April;)

Wear? MMMMMMMMM, what the hell kind of calendar is this? Hahahahahaha
I love pink and black...

Between the rabbit costume and the rabbits in the spread, yes, we will have a plethora of slightly used carrots. (See, I used "plethora" a second time.) Perhaps carrot cake?

Carrot cake is my specialty;) Done.

What the hell is this and why on earth was I not invited?

Capuchin gets National Science month!

Hello:

What's that? I'm supposed to be holding something?? I didn't get the memo.

Ex

What the hell is this and why on earth was I not invited?



There were no formal invitations - it's on a volunteer basis. You must, however, submit your costume idea and the month of your choice.

So far I think we have three Julys and no Junes, but I am flexible and if that's how it has to be, so be it.

Oh, your costume can't include holding live rabbits or live raccoons - those ideas are already taken.

Seeing as Wondergirl & I are both Scorpios, I vote she & I do a shoot together. And as November is also Election Month, let's go with donkey & elephant costumes. Perfect.

If it works for Wondergirl, it works for me but I had thought more about you in a bikini, draped over the hood of a car.

Could you drape over the hood of a car dressed either as an elephant or donkey?

I think you've been moved out of the "holding something" job and into the "help apply body makeup" category.

I know you don't want to help these wimmin' with their body makeup but this is, of course, a fund raiser to buy new furniture so you will have to sacrifice your scruples, just like the rest of us are doing.

How are your scruples, by the way?

Keep looking.

I am so excited, where can I order my copy...

You guys better get your scootch on, you have already missed 2009 :(

We may need to go to a daily calendar with all of these ideas that are flowing so quickly.

Do they come in different patterns and colors? I bet excon doesn't own one.

Oops, what I really meant was get your arses in gear, so we don't miss the 2010 deadline.

I think Judy should wear the gladiator shoes and um... a sheet.

I'll volunteer for December, if I get to get my xmas tree in the pic too!

Can I be the Christmas tree? Or does it have to be yours?

Well, MY Christmas tree has a ton of icicles on it.

Can you compete? ;)

Certainly, the costume is your choice and subject, of course, to the approval of the committee.

Oh, it's my idea so I'm the committee.

But, yes, Christmas would be just fine. Don't take your tree down just yet. Pull it into the spare room and throw a sheet over this because I'm not exactly sure when we're doing the calendar.

I think I can find something's to hang icicles on.

I have confused every one with the scootch, maybe I will invent one by then.

Can we hang a scootch off of my elephant trunk? :D



Yes, you certainly can.

Hmmm... the tree is already down. I have a real one, so it was kind of um... dying. HAD to come down.

Maybe I just need mistletoe and someone to hold it?

While you're looking for some things to hang icicles from, see if you can find excon's scruples.

I think I passed them on the way to the Introductions room, I will go back and take a peek around.

Of course, what is excon going to do with them, just lose them again, no doubt.

Do they need any special care?

excon's scruples... I don't know what the care requirements are. I am just keeping an eye out for them...

In fact I don't know what a hiding scruple looks like.

I know if you CATCH scruples a short course of antibiotics usually does the trick.

Oh never mind, I am not out to catch scruples, and knowing my luck I will find them and they will run...

hmmm.....the tree is already down. I have a real one, so it was kind of um...dying. HAD to come down.

OH MY GOODNESS... LMAO LMAO LMAO:D Synn... WOW

I totally forgot I was in charge of the free eats.

Okay, so how does some lucious macaroni and Velveeta sound to everyone? Ok, OK, too fatening. So how about some Ramen Soup in various flavors sound? Well, my raccoons love Ramen Soup any flavor. Ok, OK, not fancy schmancy enough. So how about some yummy Beef Wellington? I'll just whip up a batch for the entrée and figure out what to have as the horderveres. Say some snails in their shells, oysters on the half shell, or shrimp cocktail, lobster bisque maybe?

Got to have some food input here gals or if I'm left to my own devices it's going to be macaroni and Velveeta..!

And I'm only going to be able to pose properly if excon does my body make up. I'm rather adamant about that. If he does not do it --- I'm not posing for June, so there - regardless of how many TV and movie offers I get for nude shots or poses. Maybe excon's going to wear his scruples. Now that's something we definitely need to get a picture of for the Men's Extravaganza Calendar for the Men's Lounge to get some real he-man furniture instead of the teensey metal folding chairs they now have over there.

Have to get back to my part time job now at the Ford Clinic as a bartender...

figure out what to have as the horderveres
Those sound scary! Are they for people with OCD, the savers?

Forgot to mention -- excon's been taking oil painting lessons and classes in how to make the best use of brushes. I suspect he has you in mind. Don't laugh if he tickles. The paint will smear.

I hate to correct both of you but the proper term is horses divorces. Please don't embarrass me in public. Or, if you're going to be nude, in pubic.

Get it? Don't them bare me?

Why didn't I see this thread? Why? Sad. :(

Okay, is September taken? I'll volunteer for September, on one condition, I'm staying fully clothed, in fact, there won't be one shot of skin anywhere, I'll wear a mask and a parka, with all the accessories.

Deal? ;)

Gee Judy I intentionally misspelled horses ovaries.

So what is the menu gals? Or do I have to whip up some macaroni and Velveeta for say 500 guests?

So what accessories are you talking about? Want a spare raccoon for neck draping? My lardo Big Daddy or Stretch Armcoon are pretty tame and like to neck drape.

Do they get along with rabbits? I was thinking about bringing my bunnies to the shoot. They're friendly, except for Kilala, she only likes her immediate people family, and doesn't really care for any animals other than bunnies.

Hey, we can give it a try, I've always wanted to hold a raccoon, it would be something to check off my list of things I want to do before I die.

Anyone have a dolphin I can swim with? That's on my list too. :)

OK, so you can do the librarian look - glasses, hair in a bun, holding books over strategic places. Or not. Your choice.

Twinkie - don't foget. CARROTS. CARROTS in the refreshments.

So am I getting my dolphin? Can I bring the rabbits? Should I bring some food? How about beer? ;)

Oooh, this is going to be fun.

Judy, we definitely have to get KP in on this, I picture him as Mr. March. :)

Twinkie is arranging for food. (From what she's planning, yes, I'd bring my own.)

She may or may not be in charge of liquid refreshments. If she is not, yes, you can take care of that. I only drink white wine. Keep that in mind. (Red gives me a headache.)

You will not be getting the dolphin. You WILL be photographed strategically juggling rabbits so I would bring my own. (It just occurred to me that you have both rabbits AND a beagle. Both of them in the same shot would work for me.) Remember - we are trying to sell calendars here and aren't necessarily going for prim and proper.

KP so far has not volunteered BUT now that you've volunteered him, he's on the calendar.

Now pick a costume for him.

Now pick a costume for him.

I've got the perfect suit for him, it's called a birthday suit, I think he'll look wonderful in it, and the pic sure would sell calendars. :)

Or, he could wear a fig leaf. :cool:

Do you really want a 5 month old beagle running around with 4 bunnies? :eek:

Ok, I was going to have some bubbly water. You know the stuff they call champagne, you know some of that Dom Perignon stuff in the funny big bottles. They're having a clearance special on this down at the Quickee Mart and I'm going to stock up for this shin dig. The regular price was $225 a bottle marked down to $10.99 a bottle. Now that's a real savings I can't overlook. I hear it goes well with macaroni and Velveeta garnished with lots of carrots or do you think the cashier was pulling my leg? Let me know how many bottles to scarf up. Say 40 or 50 should do us for starters?

Also, we can have this shindig at my house. There is a huge meadow just off my back porch. I'll give you all the directions on how to get here. First you go to Cleveland, take a left, go southwest 35 miles and I'm the 10th house from the golf course clubhouse. Call me if you get lost or just look for all the cars parked in front of my house. Can't miss my house as I have a huge 10X20' Budweiser flag flying at half mast for my dearly departed husband.

Twinkie, the champagne sounds like a bargain - and the price is right. No, I'm sure the cashier didn't paste the good labels on the bad bottles.

And I'm rethinking your costume. Budweiser flag, you say?

No, still the 2 lardo raccoons for my costume and the body paint done my maestro excon.

I'm off to the store to scarf up all the DP bottles in the inventory. Gee, they look like the right bottles with the right labels on them. I'll break open a bottle and let you know if I got ripped off or not. Got to taste test. Well, someone's got to do it and I guess I'm elected! I'll call Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs and ask him if he can help me out here.
