Queensland's Yummy Mummies Bare All calendar was successful because they presented themselves as children with toys, teddies and pigtails but covered their genitals and breasts, Dr (Pamela) Turton-Turner says in her thesis Naked Charity.
"Experience has shown that in the successful calendars the bodies must be sanitised - non-erotic, maternal, coy and covered," she said.
"That is, they are de-eroticised because they are accepted as maternal, giving and nurturing."
Dr Turton-Turner also warned potential charity calendar nudes they risk ridicule...For example, the Bare to be Different calendar, created by the elderly women of South Arm, Tasmania, to raise funds to buy red velvet curtains for their town hall was a success.
It worked because their ageing, wrinkled bodies were on show but nipples and pubes were covered humorously with tea-cups, flowers or prudent framing. They raised A$100,000.
I don't know...the women posing with "toys, teddies and pigtails" sounds a bit fetishist to me. You can't argue with success, but maybe AANR or TNS should test the waters with a real nude calender for charity and see if Dr. Turton-Turner's thesis can be proven incorrect.
