The article is self-explanatory, but for those who don't want to read it, the story is that a Tulane grad who now lives here in Albuquerque got the idea of selling "pin-up girl" calendars featuring local rock stars. Calendars are $10 ea. I haven't seen the calendars but everyone is raving about them. I am told that the girls designed their own settings and costumes, which vary widely with respect to taste and discretion. If anyone wants to buy a calendar you can contact me offlist. All the money goes to the fund (Common Cause). They hope to raise $25k.
