Calendars for your shed/workshop - Makita Girls
Ok, so in this politically correct world we've found ourselves in it seems it's harder and harder to find a decent calendar for the shed walls. I remember the good old days with the Makita calendars, Jim Beam, Rigid Tools, and others. Now it seems no one is doing them or if they are then they are going down a different path and providing boring images of hand drawn tool art from a tattooist.
I rang Makita (Aus) and they agreed with me, she agreed it's gone too far the other way now, she said it's sexist and I could probably find one with firemen half naked no problem but try to find one with women and sorry they no longer do them it seems. And other businesses are the same, it's like they are too scared to now.
Funny thing is the Makita girls still exist in 2018, they have their own Instagram pages, introducing Miss Makita and a Senorita Makita right here https://www.makitatools.com/events/makita-models
She's holding my chainsaw!
Anyway, they are already taking photos of them, already doing the shoots and using them for promotion, why not get a group of those photos together and put them into a 2018 calendar? We get to see the range of Makita tools, they get promoted, the girls are happy to promote them and even do DIY work themselves and love to use their tools. What's wrong with having a calendar for our shed walls? There's some forces at work here that I don't like.
It's time we spoke up for ourselves instead of letting all this politically correct stuff get out of control.
I've since ordered a vintage calendar, had trouble finding, if anyone knows of anyone still doing them please let me know.
The classy ones, nothing pornographic.

Look what you done, now I have to wash my eyes out.
Innovations are those useful things that, by dint of chance, manage to survive the stupidity and destructive tendencies inherent in human nature.

I suggested to somebody the other day I actually liked looking at girls, I got the weirdo look. "I can dress however I like and you have no right to look at me."

That's right, men have no rights to be men anymore. Or should I say human anymore. or maybe persons have no right to be persons anymore would be the best way to put it.

That's what some retards actually think Aus .
I like watching what people like Andrew Bolt and Milo Yiannaopoulos have to say about this sort of thing .

I really appreciate the Makita Girls . Never forget one of their girls around the late 80s . One of those full size cardboard cut outs standing amongst the tools at the tool shop I wanted one she was so nice . Couldnt find the courage to ask the bloke how I could get one .

But what about those who self-identify as something other than a person?
It's basic biology. ALL animals are innately programmed to look at members of the opposite sex to determine if they would make a good mate for the purposes of propagating their own genetic material to the next generation. They are also programmed to promote themselves to members of the opposite sex to attract a mate for the aforementioned purpose.
If women are happy to pose for calendars, why should we miss out because some social justice warrior has decided to be offended on their behalf? To paraphrase one of my favourite comedians, Diane Spencer, "Offence is taken, not given. If none was on offer, you're stealing."

Yep, and I bet this decision is made by people who assume a minority will be offended then ruin it for the majority through their decisions which we the majority have no say in, I'm so sick of it, perhaps I'm just becoming a grumpy old man sooner than I thought. There's probably nothing we can do anyway. I am seriously thinking of making my own calendar though, stay tuned, 2019, W theme! Especially for Woodworkers Who like Wood and Women, and maybe the occasional Whiskey in the Workshop!

Its almost criminal to have that much clothes on calendar girls.

Reading these posts reminded me of a story a mate related a long time ago. He was invited to a Trade Night put on by one of the paint suppliers. There was of coarse all the free beer and nibbles. They were then asked to take their seats for the presentation done by a tall girl wearing "hot pants" (remember them?) and a tight tee shirt. After the presentation she asked for any questions. The audience members came up with some very obscure questions on the application of materials for finishing Cabinet Making pieces. The mate said she answered each one with no trouble at all. He said it was one Trade Night where he came away with very useful information that he actually remembered
Just do it!
Kind regards Rod

Sorry the images should not be used. No safety gear is visable. I would not like to think what happens when shavings get in the tops of clothing.
Hope no one is offended by the above.
