Would it be an overstatement to say that I was deeply moved when I opened the fat package of NYC SexBloggers Calendars which arrived today in my mail?
I’m not sure that I care if it’s an overstatement: I was deeply moved.
Although I live far from New York City and have met just one of the pin-ups in person, I have some idea of how hard everyone involved worked to get this project done — and done well. They faced challenges such as a very tight schedule, coordinating logistics with incredibly busy people, rounding up sponsors, and creating a design that absolutely rocks.
Some said that it couldn’t be done (and done well), but they didn’t know the determination and talent this group has. I knew from the start that the calendar would turn out wonderfully; still, I was blown away by how slick and professional it felt in my hot little hands.
I’ll soon be sending out calendars to the folks who won them from me. You should have received an email message from me yesterday if you were one of those lucky folks.
And if you haven’t already placed an order to help out a great cause, go do it now.
I was lucky enough to go to the release party, and spend some time with some of the ladies in the calendar at the after party. It was an incredible night, and yes they are just as gorgeous in person
I’m glad it all came together so well. It definitely seemed like a huge task. When people really care about what they are doing, they sometimes do the impossible.
Can’t wait to see it!
“When people really care about what they are doing, they sometimes do the impossible.”
You got that right, sister.

Just so everyone knows, without AAG’s support, encouragement and contacts, I doubt we’d have been able to pull this off.
I am as deeply moved by all AAG did to help get this project off the ground as AAG was when she opened that package. Karma, baby, karma.
I don’t think it would be an overstatement at all. Everyone did such an amazing job, and to see that calendar arrive in the mail, so slick and wonderfully professional – just more proof to me that the commUnity is full of awesome and great people!
With apologies to AAG for hijacking this comment box, I’m going to take this opportunity to shamelessly beg Tess for access to her blog because I’ve been having withdrawal symptoms since it went invite only!
I’ve passed along the message, Lolli.
