By who? I've never seen them any place but in garages.


I don't think I've ever seen a Pirelli calendar in the flesh. Over the
years I've seen countless calendars of conventionally pretty girls
holding tools in such a manner that it's obvious that nobody involved in
the photo has even an inkling of a clue about car repair. Something I
consider rather disappointing because I think women who know how to
wrench are extra sexy.

The Pirelli calendar has long been a "fine art" version of the pinup
calendar emphasizing art rather than bimbotude.



Perhaps they're venturing into something other than tires - snark, snark


Like the poster I have for Dunlop motorcycle tires:

If you've got the leather, we've got the rubber.

I agree with Marco.

The Pirelli calendar is a piece of marcom collateral that serves the
dual function of promoting Pirelli (not necessarily their tires) as a
company that supports the development of art and the humanities as
well as provides a venue for photographers to exhibit their works.
They have focused on fashion and nudes for most of their history, last
year and this year mark an interesting departure as they reach into a
broader domain of photographic imagery. The calendars are instantly
collectible works.

Frankly, I doubt that many "car people" are even interested.

Very nice - love those birds.

I think I'd crop a bit off the right - seems to be a lot of blank space

I guess "Ntl" is 'National" but "Sac"??

That paragraph beginning "So it gets critical acclaim..." is not what I wrote,

Yup. Except I think you are a little over the top in your criticism. 

It is an art piece and a collectible, a part of what Pirelli does to foster the 
brand. Whether it appeals to you or not is a matter of personal decision. Lots 
of people collect them, and collect books printed as collections of them (see 
Amazon.com, search for Pirelli calendar). 

I've seen one in the flesh. Nicely done printing, good paper, etc. The person 
who owned it had a bunch of interesting calendars, the Pirelli was one of them. 
It's what she collected, and got a lot of entertainment out of. Nothing wrong 
with that.

"Pin-up girls" for the ordinary Joe (whoever that is)… passé since the 1950s. I 
haven't seen such things in an actual motorcar or motorcycle shop since I was 
old enough to go to such shops. That was fifty years ago…

The calendar is a marketing gimmick. If they had stuck to standard garage wall 
fare nobody would pay any attention at all.

Several decades ago some smart ad man realised they could get an annual burst 
of cheap global publicity by confounding expectations. They do this by giving 
carte blanche to big name photographers. And it works.

This stuff is not for hanging in garages or museums, it's for middle-brow 
collectors to show their rich friends.

I happen to like Peter Lindbergh's style - I have one of his books - but he's 
just a talented fashion photographer. His photos are no more realistic 
depictions of 'real' women than are photos in Playboy - these women are all 
Hollywood stars (those I recognise, anyway) - his job is to sell an image of 
women that will make them go out and spend money on expensive trash.

So it gets critical acclaim from the usual suspects, and, a little more joy is 
sucked out of the life of some ordinary Joe, so Pirelli can make a stupid, and 
not particularly valid, post modern, point.

Pirelli aren't making a point, they're running an annual ad campaign. They 
don't give a shit about your ordinary Joe, or about women's empowerment and 
body image, they just want lots of media time for their brand, and they get it.

The "Calendar Girls" calendar did far more for women and for art than the

I don't think I've ever seen a Pirelli calendar in the flesh. Over the 
years I've seen countless calendars of conventionally pretty girls 
holding tools in such a manner that it's obvious that nobody involved in 
the photo has even an inkling of a clue about car repair. Something I 
consider rather disappointing because I think women who know how to 
wrench are extra sexy.


The Pirelli calendar has long been a "fine art" version of the pinup 
calendar emphasizing art rather than bimbotude.




Perhaps they're venturing into something other than tires - snark, snark


Like the poster I have for Dunlop motorcycle tires:

I agree with Marco.

The Pirelli calendar is a piece of marcom collateral that serves the
dual function of promoting Pirelli (not necessarily their tires) as a
company that supports the development of art and the humanities as
well as provides a venue for photographers to exhibit their works.
They have focused on fashion and nudes for most of their history, last
year and this year mark an interesting departure as they reach into a
broader domain of photographic imagery. The calendars are instantly
collectible works.

Frankly, I doubt that many "car people" are even interested.

The photos are obviously well done but I bet they don't sell as many

Re: Pirelli goes natural

2016-12-21 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
I agree with Marco. 

The Pirelli calendar is a piece of marcom collateral that serves the dual 
function of promoting Pirelli (not necessarily their tires) as a company that 
supports the development of art and the humanities as well as provides a venue 
for photographers to exhibit their works. They have focused on fashion and 
nudes for most of their history, last year and this year mark an interesting 
departure as they reach into a broader domain of photographic imagery. The 
calendars are instantly collectible works. 

Frankly, I doubt that many "car people" are even interested.

Re: Pirelli goes natural

2016-12-21 Thread P. J. Alling
Not really, they lost their way with last years calendar, now they're 
wandering around in an open field trying to cater to their new art 
constituency.  Too bad it doesn't really exist.


It's a pinup calendar, the women in it aren't supposed to be real,  
They're either a fantasy or idealized, depending on how charitable I 
want to be.


It's not like the people who approve, of this "more realistic" calendar 
are actually going to hang one on their wall,  and the guy, (and it is 
mostly guy's), who is going to hang one in their automobile repair bay 
are going to actually want this.


So it gets critical acclaim from the usual suspects, and, a little more 
joy is sucked out of the life of some ordinary Joe, so Pirelli can make 
a stupid, and not particularly valid, post modern, point.

I think they've lost their direction with this edition.

I say lets vote on it.  Like or dislike but each vote must be 
accompanied by the voter's age.

E-mail problems again

2016-12-21 Thread Malcolm Smith
For some reason, most of my outgoing e-mail seems to be either delayed or
simply not going out at all, today seems a better day.

 

We have family over until the new year, and so I'll wish you all the best
for the holidays and the new year now, and have a go at sorting this problem
out early next year.
