Finally, a Legitimate Reason for Book Lovers to Buy a Pinup Calendar!
Worldbuilders, a non-profit organization founded by Patrick Rothfuss, is raising money for their cause by offering a 2013 Fantasy Pin-Up Calendar. All proceeds from the sale of the calendar will go to Worldbuilders in support of Heifer International.
Each month the calendar will feature a pin-up based on a different author’s works and/or characters illustrated by Lee Moyer. Participating authors include:
- Peter S. Beagle
- Ray Bradbury
- Patricia Briggs
- Jim Butcher
- Jacqueline Carey
- Neil Gaiman
- Charlaine Harris
- Robin Hobb
- N.K. Jemisin
- George R. R. Martin
- Terry Pratchett
- Patrick Rothfuss
The calendar is now available for pre-order, which means you’ll get your calendar sooner. (Calendars begin shipping in early November.) Pre-order 2 or more calendars and you will receive a $6.00 discount if you use coupon code PINMEUP during checkout! You can buy an extra one for the garage!
Heifers? Hardly!
Where is this magical “legitimate reason”? I don’t see it. I only see more misogyny here.
Here’s a challenge to Mr. Rothfuss & Company: Use your awesome creative powers plus the draw of your name to make a calendar that is not like this. Really, I bet it can be done!
Seriously? Half-dressed female characters in fetish gear? Somebody explain to me why I would want this.
I feel conflicted by this calendar.
Wow, I wouldn’t have guessed that comments would rival the sanctimoniousness of a baptist convention…
Seriously people, it is cheesecake. If you don’t like it don’t buy it. Would you be as offended if it were beefcake? I think not.
