Angels of
Rugby An Italian firefighters rugby club takes it all off to raise
funds for the team - and Hurricane Katrina relief
Here's a great
way to contribute to the Hurricane Katrina Relief effort AND
get a 27-page calendar of hot athletes:
the
2006 Angels of Rugby Calendar.
This project features Italian national
professional rugby players who are all firemen who also won
the gold medal of their division this July in Quebec,
Canada.
It is an exceptionally unique sensual look at firemen who
play rugby together. The women of Italy call firemen "Angeli/Angels"
of fire, thus the title of the project. Lee Andrew, author
and photographer of 'His Grace', has completed five photo books.
While an amateur photographer stateside as a hobby annually
for many years Andrew would present to his closest friends
in his beloved Arizona professionally printed calendars
during the holidays. "Angeli del Rugby/Angels of Rugby" is presented
not only to his friends but the world. A portion of proceeds
will be donated to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts in Mississippi,
where he was born, and New
Orleans, where his family originates and many
still live.
Andrew says the team is running
into allegations in Italy that the calendar is too racy; if
that's what some Italians think, you can only imagination
how racy it really is.
