'Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow'
Yes, I know we're now well into October, but I wrote this piece last week as September was coming to a close. September is such a meaningful month to me, it became a central theme when I was thinking about calendars and the significance of each of the 12 months of the year.
What I remember most about September, besides school starting and summer ending were the changes in our stores. Halloween decorations were out in August, but September meant the first hints that Christmas was coming. Although most stores held themselves back from actually putting up their decorations, those first few Christmas isles of decorations and gifts were starting to be stacked.
September was the month the Christmas catalogue usually arrived and the countdown to Christmas and the end of the year was on. Thoughts of an year ending are linked to year on the horizon, meaning calendars were also starting to fill the shelves. kittens and puppies, dolphins and whales, nature scenes and pretty much every possible subject and passion were chronicled in 12 month visuals to tempt both
I loved calendars, especially those TV & Movie themed calendars and the calendars featuring hot hunky men. Since calendars made great gifts, it was safe as a kid to buy them, commenting of course how much your aunt was going to love it as you paid at the cash.
Today, Calendars bring just as much pleasure, especially their filled with incredible images from a favorite artist. Whenever I spend time enjoying the work of photographer Nick Mesh, I am always impressed how erotically creative his images are of the male form. Nick has put together some of his favorite images, of some of the hottest men he's shot into a collection of Posters, Photo Prints, Stickers, Greeting Cards, Spiral Notebooks Covers and of course Calendars! Although Christmas is still a few months a way, it's never too early to start window shopping! Check out all of Nick's products on his Rebubble site HERE:
