“We all feel sure that thing would have been long gone if we hadn’t done the calendar,” said 87-year-old Eileen Herron (Miss October).

The gutsy grannies’ eyebrow-raising calendar in the buff, which netted more than $20,000 for their cause, shows the women naked as the day they were born (long, long ago) — save strategically-placed mini-replicas of the 19th century building they were trying to save.

Commissioner David Lenkensdofer said the public awareness raised by the calendar girls made a difference.

“It was a pretty gallant effort on those ladies’ parts,” he said.

"If you don't save this court, we'll removed the danishes!"

(If you've seen "the movie" you'll know what the danishes are for.)

A bunch of old geezers (men) in my town did this. I don't even remember the cause for which they bared it all.

Whatever happened to modesty and decorum?

"Grannies Get Naked for a Good Cause"

Unless the cause it to keep grannies clothed then I say don't do it.
