The real story of the Alternative W.I. Calendar (better known to most of us as the Naked Ladies Calendar) by Miss October, Tricia Stewart, whose idea it was.John Baker's death from cancer devastated his many friends in the small Yorkshire village of Cracoe. During his illness Tricia Stewart had joked with him about creating an 'alternative' W.I. calendar - she and his wife Angela were members - and after his death they were determined to continue and give the proceeds to leukaemia research. It took guts - and a glass of red wine - for eleven mature women to pose wearing nothing but a string of pearls and smile. The result was an astonishing two-year rollercoaster ride as the ladies became international stars.In Calendar Girl Tricia Stewart writes honestly about the whole experience: the courage and strength of Angela, the incredible strain that fame has placed on friendships and family, being doorstepped by the tabloid press, but above all about the positive transforming effect the calendar has had on their lives. Funny, insightful and moving, this book will change your view of the W.I. for ever.
