We know what you're going to ask before you can even voice it. Read on and be amazed at our prescience!
Down at the bottom of the page, you'll find low resolution samples of the calendar spreads. Do not copy or re-post the images.
Violate our copyright and we'll find you and cut you. And so will our models. And you know how embarassing it is to have your ass kicked by a girl.
Quite an astute observation! Jenn looked at the old website. and then she changed a few lines and updated some pictures...and presto! We have a new website!
Your calendar, sir, will soon be in the mail! The calendar has arrive, so very soon, if you selected the "ship it to me!" option, we'll be sending it your way! And if you preordered a copy, we'll let you know and you can head over to EC Desk and pick it up.
I'm Jenn. My co-conspirator is Eric. We learned from Woz and Vogt that one should *delegate*, and so we also have gotten loads of help from Clayton (see that layout? all him!), Brian, and a mess of other people. woz even came back to nitpick over the final draft with us and anal-retentively adjust the margins. We're all MIT students. We're also the photographers, producers and secretaries for this project -- so we'll be a little slow in answering email unless we're in the mood to punt (hey, some of us are trying to graduate here). All that aside, seriously, though, who we are is not important. What's important is that you stare at attractive women for charity.
Would you need a reason to take photos of good-looking girls?
We beg to differ. Every one of our models is a genuine MIT engineer. And we think you'll agree with us that they are plenty attractive, hot if not exquisite. In fact, part of the point of this calendar project was to demonstrate that MIT girls are extremely good-looking; it's Woman's god-given right to be both beautiful and competent at solving partial non-linear differential equations.
While we may have removed some trash in the background of some shots, or repaired holes in walls, none of the models have been altered. Anyone who says otherwise gets the hose.
Yes. Welcome to EAsT camPUS.
Then donate to the Big Jimmy Fund directly.
Because google checkout is actually somewhat annoying, in that it doesn't allow us to factor shipping costs differently. To save us a headache, we've just designated a $5 shipping/handling fee, and if shipping turns out to be cheaper, we'll donate the remainder of sale.
On average, $8 from every calendar will go to the Big Jimmy fund. Ultimately, every cent we get past the printing costs will be donated. Our fundraising goal is $5,000. We have 750 calendars coming in, and we really want to sell out of stock.
No, sorry. Convince a friend or roommate to buy you an early birthday present!
Yep. Calendars will be on sale at Desk starting Monday, April 14th. And they will be until we sell out.
Absolutely! And we guarantee shipping! Eventually. Buy now!
If you missed our signing party, you'll have to approach the models individually and in person to have your calendar signed. When will the signing party be? We'll know when we get a shipping estimate for the calendars.
We hope so! We've included a bevy of datum in every month including: national holidays; MIT academic dates; important parties; and notable anniversaries. It's in a non-traditional format where every week starts on a Monday and ends on a Sunday and there's room for you to write notes and reminders.
Everyone seems to like them...Jenn even started drooling when she saw the proofs. You will totally get your money's worth.
The calendars are professional print quality, printed on 100lb glossy paper using a 4-color offset press. They're so cheap because we kept production costs low by figuring out when Clayton's labs were due, and then the minute he had submit them, asking him when the calendar would be done. One of the models was particularly encouraging by asking him daily "ARE THEY DONE YET?" which prompted others to ask as well ...if shutting her up isnt good motivation, I don't know what is.
Our calendar is super improved over the last one! We've been guaranteed that there will be drill-holes for easy hanging on the wall!
Send mail to eastwomen07-staff [at] mit [dot] edu. We will not honor any purchase requests sent to this address. Questions and legal action only, please.
Well, all our models have signed waivers and are over 18. But is weasel pantsing legal in the state of Massachusetts?
Nope! But we hopefully will soon!
No, but Voo Doo did.
Us, personally? No, probably not. We've carried on the torch of tradition from woz and vogt, and hope to carry the torch on to another group of motivated photographers in a year. We will happily provide layout templates, advice and photography to anyone willing to produce a calendar like this in the future.
Check out these previews from the calendar. Yes, they're intentionally downsampled.
