It's a definite trend in Golf Girl calendar couture. Let's call it "classy is the new trashy". Of course it all depends on how you define classy... and what exactly is meant by trashy. But clearly, something's going on. Everyone's covering up! A few days ago I reported on Natalie Gulbis's rejection of the skimpy swimsuit in favor of "sportier" attire. The "rebranding" has since been denied...sort of.
Then recently I read a post in the always entertaining GolfNow blog, that led me to another post in the ever alluring Golf Babes blog, that presented the 2008 Golf Digest World Ladies Calendar. ...And everyone's pretty much fully clothed, which hasn't always been the case with some of these gorgeous golfers.
Perhaps we can blame this trend on the economy. There's a long-standing theory that skirt length is linked to booms in a country's wealth: the better the economy, the shorter the skirt, and vice verse. Mightn't this be extended to the briefness of calendar girl's attire? If so, I think this particular economic indicator is telling us we're in for a bearish 2008...as opposed to a bareish one.
Geez,I think Bernanke just saw that calendar.
ReplyDeleteDamn it. Wall Street just fell sharply at the open. Guess there's not much chance for any Golf Girl nudity today.
ReplyDeleteI think some of the ladies who did the risque calendars, like Nicki Garret and maybe Natalie Gulbis realized that once they posed like that, it was all anyone would want from them. Unfortunately no matter how well they play now most guys will just say OK now show me some more racy pictures. It going to take a while to change that but I guess they want to try.
ReplyDeleteI hear Sophie Sandolo's 2008 calendar is still refreshingly risque. No wonder the Euro is so strong ;)
ReplyDeleteDoes all this cover up mean that you will be following trend and not expose your swim suit calendar which by the way we have been waiting for all summer long!
ReplyDeleteBetter get out your burka golf girl, the market's way down again today.
