Where Do We Begin???, November 15, 2000
This review is from: The Ladies of Rylstone (Calendar)
Where do we begin? We want to convince you to buy this calendar, for yourself, for a friend, for your mother, sister, daughter (and perhaps even your husband).
This calendar speaks to many conditions -- for older women, it shows us how beauty comes from within, and that we can and should be considered 'calendar girls'of the highest quality. For younger women, it teaches us that beauty does not fade with age, just changes as our bodies do.
The ordinary British ladies who posed for the photos in this calendar did so to raise money for leukemia -- what started as a 'silly' idea blossomed into a very successful campaign.
The photos are wonderfully droll, showing women at work in the home, doing everyday things -- just in the natural state (with the addition of pearls, all a lady really needs!)
This is a wonderful gift for a woman going through the 'change' -it embraces the sexuality of the aging female in a wonderful way for those of us who found turning 50 to be a shocking disappearing act. We are alive and well, thank you! And proceeds go to help leukemia in Britain.
Absolutely best calendar of the year!

Wonderful Product Done For A Wonderful Cause!, November 24, 2000
This review is from: The Ladies of Rylstone (Calendar)
One is left almost speechless when first viewing this splendidly risqué calendar; it is warm, winsome and well done. The ladies involved are courageous and trend setting in their unabashed willingness to bare it all for a good cause. Moreover, as a middle-aged male who usually dates younger women, I do not necessarily share the unvarnished enthusiasm of many of the other reviewers regarding the innate beauty and attractiveness of aging beauties. Yet, I must admit that I could hardly resist paging through the various ladies revealing their womanly charms in the calendar itself, discovering in the process of doing so the well-chosen selection of photographs that are much more reality-based, revealing, and downright humorous than either their Playmate or Swimsuit competitors.
This isn't to suggest that these ladies will soon displace the Heather Locklears and Angie Everhearts of the swimsuit aficionados. These lovely, lithe and oft-times leering ladies can rest easy in their tiny little bikinis without displaying a resident pout or worrying that their livelihood is endangered by the appearance of this calendar displaying all these brave, hardy, and splendidly wrinkled souls. Instead, what all this illustrates so wonderfully is that the human female form comes in all sorts of delicious shapes, varieties and degrees of comeliness; this calendar proves that quite ordinary women in the autumn of their feminine years still retain a vital sensuality. This is all for a good cause, and it is easy to recommend the calendar to anyone wanting a refreshing dose of realistic womanhood while savoring the good humor obvious to any who view it. Enjoy!
