Echo promoting smut for children

In what can be described as a radical change of editorial policy, the Express and Echo is promoting a calendar of naked women posing for your erotic delight.

This is not the first calendar of it's kind either. Earlier in the year Exeter's student population did a similar thing, as have the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution, both getting healthy support from the local paper.

You would have thought a club where you could see similar beauties dancing in the buff would be the obvious next step, but apparently having naked women in a private club is too much. They should be on the wall, where they belong, where anyone of any age can see them. Obviously.

This time the calendar's excuse for blatant public nudity is the Teign Valley YFC. Some of the proceeds will be used to take 30 to 40 children to the Nationwide Conference game between Exeter City and Tamworth on April 7.

Club secretary, mother and August model Mary Litchfield admitted "Some of the women were really really nervous, while others didn't care one bit, but nobody hesitated to be involved.

"A few were very cold, especially Sarah, who had to stand outside her stable at night at 9.45pm with very little on.

"My picture was taken in a field with horses that is popular with walkers so I had to constantly rush to put on my bathrobe when people walked by."

"The kids think it's just brilliant," said Mrs Litchfield.

Last year the club produced an all male calendar and are planning to alternate between the sexes each year.

It's unclear if next year they will be producing a transgendered calendar.
