From the "You Can't Make This Stuff Up Department" Virginia-
What brings together a group of semi-clad senior gentlemen, a city mayor, and Neptune - God of the Sea? The unveiling of one of the country's most hilarious and titillating charity fundraising calendars.
A new twist on pin-up girls, these calendar guys, ranging in age from 69 to 90, recently shed their inhibitions to bare it all (behind strategically placed props) for a 2010 "nearly nude" calendar, with sales benefiting their local Volunteer Rescue Squad. Fellow residents at the Atlantic Shores Retirement Community in Virginia Beach, Virginia, these fifteen active seniors (and one dog) are enjoying a late-stage brush with fame. And on September 22, 2009, the wraps are coming off -- the calendar, that is -- as "The Pin-Up Boys of Atlantic Shores" is officially unveiled.
Appropriately "dressed down" for the event, "The Boys" will arrive attired in bathrobes for the Unveiling Ceremony at 11:00 a.m. on September 22 at Atlantic Shores. Awaiting them will be throngs of adoring fans, as well as Virginia Beach City Mayor Will Sessoms, and Randy Sutton, "King Neptune" -- official ambassador of Virginia Beach's annual Neptune Festival.

"Mr. May," Mike Ferguson, an active Episcopal priest and volunteer EMT, strikes a pose behind a back-board in front of an ambulance -- much to the delight of his congregation and fellow emergency rescue co-workers. Any backlash from his parishioners? "None so far, everyone has mostly been amused," laughed Mike. In fact, the congregation has been rallying behind the
project, with more than 30 calendars already sold so far, and the women's bible study group plan on being at the front of the autograph line at the Unveiling Ceremony.
