pmsl pmsl pmsl

spring? why spring? are you lads worried the cold will affect you in a bad way me.. it just gives me extra coat hangers

dave... oh... my.... god.... that will be, um.. different!!!!

of course, if we're including animals, then we do have to make sure the shots are not taken in such a way that we get *o* buying every copy (18+ readers will know what i mean by that!!) and also that we don't get all the antis weeping and wailing that we are abusing animals..

i have been asked to do a shoot with a king cobra coiled on my spine... as yet i have not been fully comfortable agreeing to that one... and its not just as i have not done any glamour work for ages.. more that i am not totally sure what the cobra would think of it all

Its true, this calendar we talk of so flippantly, is something we are looking at to raise finances for PKL advertising.

If we want to raise finances to approach the landbased arena, then we have to look at something that will appeal to all. If we want to raise them to start to battle the opposition then we have to raise them ourselves. To do it successfully we need to go direct to the keeper and the industry. BUT, all buyers and sellers must make something from it. The Buyers get a great calendar and the sellers get a great selling angle.

Calendars come and go every year, kittens, cats, dogs, horses, you name it its there!

But a personalised calendar geared specifically and tastefully, well that is unique l feel. But still a legal and friendly way to raise funds for the campaigns.

So yes, naked we must be in Spring 2008, thankfully not all at once. But the calendar, albeit will contain a political message must be ready to launch by June 2008 running through till December 2009.

More will be discussed, as said we are looking for models, those that will pose rather than oppose and do so knowing that this is in fact one hell of a contribution for the hobby.

Alas l know the things we must do, but hey at present my choice is a porcupine or a ferret named Dougal................mmm

I havent been following this thread at all Ill put my hands up to that. But as Fangio said that he highly doubts they will ban the selling of all pets in shops. Im afraid to say they managed to ban the sale of puppys also they put so many rules onto the sale of kittens. Not to mention the amount of husbandry laws attached to them is untrue. What makes you think they wont do it with reptiles or all animals ??

correct me if im wrong..

are the models posing naked with animals placed in strategic positions.... and if so.. is that not a teency weency tiny bit erm.. im not sure LOL,,, but id love to see and buy the finished article.. not so sure how the ANTIS will view usage of our animals in naked photoshoots though... can just imagine the headlines...


TROUSER SNAKES.... buy a burmese here boys and impress the ladies ....


snakes covering naked mens willys is a bit well.. oh i dunno..... heres hoping they wil all be tasteful and not glamour porny style shots.. or JAPAN and "O" wil be the only market I can think of .. hehe
( as long as the animals arent touching the nawty bits it sounds a good idea..( because naked sexy humans and animals....thats just a simdgen .. erm well.. AHEM.. yes I shall say no more )

is anyone checking with the animals if they dont mind being draped over BITS for the day

lol sparkle..

well you have seen my skunks for instance... do you think they mind what they are draped over? nah... lol...

and a burmese python.. it'll make no difference to them if the holder is wearing clothes or not really.. the snake won't care either way - as long as its happy to be held in the first place..

wilma... mm well you do not tend to cuddle her anyway.. with her you encourage her into position, and then wait for the right chance to take the snap..

no, of course, we would not do any photoshoots that would cause the animals concerned any hassle!

As we are all experienced keepers, I think it would be easy, and paramount, that any animals we use, are as a matter of course, not inconvienenced.

The antis will always grab on to anything they can.. we can use their negative publicity to put across our positive message.. if anyone picks up on it obviously.

A very good point "any publicity is good publicity" and all that...

I tend not to contribute to these threads, but I do read them all and follow what the PKL are up to.
Einstein and I are happy to offer our services if you are short on lady members Nerys.
