I came across a handful of these as we were having a clearout of 'stuff' around the house. Still boxed. I looked on e6ay to see if there were any for sale and was surprised to see they go for virtually nothing now. I worked on one, I can't remember which year, I'll have to look. Peter Roberts was the marketing director for Pirelli at the time. I am really surprised that 'blokes' don't collect this sort of thing anymore. In fact I am not sure Pirelli still do their famous glamour calendar now.being boring.
Why is it that blokes don't like pinups anymore. In the bike world there are still some, but it seems we have been sterilised and PC'd into being boring. Is it the feministas having so much sway? I really don't understand it. Glamour used to be, probably, the biggest photographic style. Car shows and bike shows used to use glamour to good effect. The bike show still does, especially on our stand, we haven't given up on it, neither have the insurance companies. Blokes who ride motorbikes still like to look at pretty girls, I think real blokes from any part of society do.
So what has happened? Or is it that people only have small houses now and don't have the space to collect thngs? Or is it just the glamour genre has fallen out of favour? Whaddayareckon?
