Yeah a friend of mine in IT journalism was waxing cranky about that last week. I'm glad it isnt just me who thought those women all looked rather leaden and not particularly attractive, haha!

Nothing says "sexy" like the movie poster for "The Princess Diaries".

some of them are rather pretty, but they all look stiff and uncomfortable in those pictures.

V badluy coded site, half the links dont work.

This sort of shit is embarrasing - that we're still at the stage where someone thinks women in IT have to be set apart and done up like movie trollops to "smash the geek stereotype" is insulting. Can we just get on with our jobs instead, and maybe get paid the right amount?

IT girls are hott anyway, partly cos they don't confirm to the usual girlie stereotypes. This calender misses the point of hottness completly.

I keep reading this thread's title as "Ned's Girls".

― Marmot 4-Tay: You are beautiful, and you are alone. (marmotwolof), Monday, 10 July 2006 07:51 (twenty years ago)

ned's girls published their calendar three years ago, do try to keep up.

Not that the actual calendar is any better.

Sharon's pretty hot and you know the one who chose to be Fatal Attraction is easy! But, who still buys girly calendars, anyway?
