Calender Girls... inspiring!!

A story about women wanting to do something with their lifes. Excuse being raising money to buy a sofa for a luekemia hospital where a  friends husband was treated n unfortunately died.
What matters is friendship, one right idea and some guts n hard work!!! The skys the limit.
The story is set in old time yorkshire, london where an english tradition of girls groups is followed. This group talks abt turnips n brocelli and cooking n knitting.. Inherent qualitites of a woman in the 60s n 70s. Reminded me of growing up india too... :))) so the entire concept or backdrop is women growing up in the same town, getting married n growing old in the same town!! Ofvourse there always is a rebel, someone who wants to be more, do more n in this setting she has friends whom she has known for yrs.

Making a transition from a small country side in yorkshire to being featured on the jay leno show in america was a feat of achievement for the middle aged women who in some way are finding some purpose n meaning to life.


I felt that the reason why the whole nude pictures on the calender was taken, for the sofa, was lost somewhere in all the fame that was coming by. But the amount of money earned by the luekemia society clarifies in the end that the cause was the main focus!!!



Interesting and very nice!! inspiring too.. put ur mind to it and u can do it however weird or out of the world the idea is!! :)
