French fireman calendars

You no doubt heard about the racy French pompiers calendar released near the end of 2015. If not, you can sample it in the video below.

Saint Jean de Sixt fireman calendarHere in Saint Jean de Sixt, our local fire brigade did their annual door knock to sell (through donations) their calendar last week. Were they inspired by that other calendar everyone’s been raving about? Err, not quite. Here’s a red Ferrari, which is pretty much as racy as the calendar gets. Is it to be used as some sort of fire truck? Does a fireman own it? Was it a gift from Italy? Who knows: there’s no further information.

There are photos of the various teams, and I was able to spot our cabinet maker in among the retired firemen (yes, they’re in there too, which is nice). No naked chests or thighs in black and white, but plenty of grey (hair). And then, bizarrely, September comes along with this photo of a car accident.

Okay, it’s not in festive December at least, but I’m glad my birthday isn’t in September. What a downer. I doubled my donation this year in the hope they hire a photographer with some new ideas next year. Or a gym membership. I don’t mind.

  1. The guy taking the photos rather spoilt the video by looking as if he could do with the gym membership, mind you, he does look loke ‘one of us’. Bonne Année .

  2. Yeah, the poor guy must have felt so self-conscious around all those oiled torsos. I wonder if he made a resolution about the gym. Bonne année to you too, Lesley!
