Could Write Out loud produce a tasetful calender of nude poets? And if so who would feature in which month? (Be careful, the moderators finger is hovering on this one)

Winston

Oh bless you Winston - it would have to feature those fine legs of yours - and definitely the walking boots!

I'm not sure tasteful would be top on my list of priorities - funny, yes! For that you would need people who really weren't precious about how ridiculous they looked.

Wigan might be a good starting point. I could imagine John Togher in a long scarf and nothing else. Darren Thomas with a camera and nowt else. And we'd all have to be eating pies - with a pie secreted somewhere in every shot on every month - much like 'Where's Wolly'...

I suppose we could include the odd scouser off the Liverpool scene, just to lower the tone. Oh dear - I could go on and on and on...

I could be spread over October, November and December? Unless I've been drinking - in which case put me down for the first two days of October.

That reminds me of a joke about pies on a kebab...

What a mental image to play with ;

Could I just add to our list, Francine wearing nothing but red lipstick and a string of pearls...

She's as good as signed up already!

And perhaps we could also add Isobel wearing boots... thigh-length or black
Doc Martens?

put me down for december...birthday month, birthday suit x

I'll hide in a clump of foxgloves in May if you like! Tho actually I'm thinking of re-branding myself - getting rid of the nom de plume. So maybe just substitute those pies for Cornish pasties Isobel!

If the nettles get you you will certainly be branding yourself!
My experience of such matters is limited to appropriate beaches in the south of France and my friends' chalet in a naturist colony on the Atlantic coast whence I talked to Paul B once via Skype and he noticed skyclad figures in the background, which rather gave the game away. Perhaps it could be one of those mass shoots. How about on a Cornish beach near St. Agnes?

So you are proposing to take part in a mass shoot - mmmm very tasteful ;

I'm loving all these ideas - it would be a calendar to end all calendars!
