Got Your Pirelli Calendar?
Now that 2009 has arrived it's time to get out your new datebooks. One of the most exclusive would be the Pirelli Calendar. Each year the tire manufacturer produces a timetable with the world's hottest supermodels shot by the most sought after fashion photographers with an innovative play on auto body shop pin-up material. You can see it online, but you can't buy it. It's not sold, but distributed as an exclusive corporate gift to important customers and celebrity VIPs.
For this year's edition, Peter Beard shot models in Botswana in a variety of unglamorous settings. Many of the images feature angry elephants, horrifying insects, and native people amidst the mostly nude models.
