M&S Workers Pose Nude For Charity Calendar Sold Under The Counter

A calendar with pictures of scantily clad Marks & Spencer staff has raised £2,500 for charity despite having to be sold under the counter.


The publication features naked and topless workers in Calendar Girls-type poses involving items for sale such as cakes, newspapers, underwear and marshmallows.

It was not intended for sale to the public but word got around and copies were bought discreetly.

‘We weren’t really allowed to put it on display in the shop,’ said one member of staff at the store in Barnstaple, Devon.

‘It was a bit of a brown paper bag job, to be honest.’

Marks insists only a limited number of calendars were produced, all of which have now been sold.

A M&S spokesman said: 'M&S supports the Barnstaple store's efforts to raise funds for the North Devon Health Care Chemotherapy Unit.

'A limited number of calendars were produced by members of staff for sale to friends and family, and were never intended for commercial sale in-store.

'The calendar has now sold out and M&S would like to congratulate the team on raising an incredible £2,500.'

London Nude Tech Calendar: Unclothed Geeks (And Ladygeeks) In A Good Cause [Blast From The Past]

This article is from the guardian.co.uk Technology Blog, 18 November 2009

Christmas is approaching, and with it the burning need to buy a calendar for next year. But rather than getting dubious calendars entitled "Cheryl Cole's 12 X Factor judging expressions" or "Ashley Cole's 12 Leaving A Nightclub Expressions" from the bloke down at the market, why not support a real charity and show off your geek credentials by buying a London Nude Tech Calendar?

The purpose is to raise funds for Take Heart India, a charity focused on IT education projects for blind and disabled students in India.



You can buy the calendar from Firebox: it costs £10, and is launched on 1 December (so you're getting a head start). There are no administration fees because the production costs were covered by the sponsors. It costs Take Heart just £37 to provide a six-month computer training course which secures a job for life for one of the students, so your money will make a difference.

The calendar is the brainchild of the "technology writer, party planner and all round top banana, Milo Yiannopoulos" (we think he wrote the press release). Obviously, it's inspired by tropes such as Calendar Girls, but that had charity as its aim. And you get pictures for your wall. Plus if you ever happen to meet any of them you can say "oh, you look different with your clothes on". Breaks the ice...

There's a gallery of some of the images, plus this video of how it got put together. You're going to need a bigger bat... aren't you?

LAD Prostate [Health & Wellbeing, Heroes of iNAKED]

LAD is a Bristol-based fundraising initiative. Set up in 2005 by a group of local lads working together at Kingswood Leisure Centre, the LAD mission is to raise as much money as possible for the Prostate Cancer Charity. LAD does this by producing an annual calendar in which the lads pose naked in places that provoke a “how on earth did you do that?” reaction. From Cabot’s Tower and Brunel’s spectacular Clifton Suspension Bridge, to the SS Great Britain and a local female hair salon.

Not only do the lads raise funds, they also raise awareness of how important it is for other lads of all ages to look after their precious tools. LAD is about raising money, raising awareness, and raising a smile at the same time.

We all have something in common: we Live And Die. Fact. LAD takes the heavy-going subject of cancer, keeps it close to the heart of its mission and turns it into a positive reminder that life is too short. Every hour, 1 man dies from prostate cancer. Every year, 10,000 men die from prostate cancer..

Live life every day, respect your health and lend a helping hand to the 37,000 men diagnosed with prostate cancer each year.

Please visit their website and if you can, please buy one of their calendars.
