Calendars arrived today and they are SO much cooler than I imagined they would be!! Tim did an absolutely -awesome- job with the design, and they rock. Oh yeah! If you're looking for an armour / combat / jousting porn calendar for 2011, get yourself one of these babies. You won't be disappointed!!

Black Swan Designs

Hi Hal-

Please forgive my rather clumsy attempt, but here's a rough idea of what the calendar will look like-

The spaces are approx 1.375W x 1.25H

Wow. That's fantastic. Even I wouldn't expect them to last that long!

Cool.

Thanks for the tip Tasha, but my comment was more a 'Gwen using her outside voice when she probably shouldn't have' moment than anything else. I didn't read the thing cover to cover, but I didn't see any statements in the parts I read to the effect of an expectation for the standards to be accepted ...

And after 20 years it's a shame to see they *still* have not moved beyond the coif under hat stage.

It is both disappointing and reassuring to see the Gods have feet of clay.

SHIPPING UPDATE: Because there is no effective way to isolate a single item from the website's shipping softwear, shipping via US Postal First Class Mail has been included in the price. Please choose 'International' if the calendar is being shipped to a destination outside of the US. Please choose '...

Kalle, I stopped by the post office and checked, and the postage should be a fraction of that amount. I must have done something wrong when I entered the product on our website, so I'll try to sort that out here shortly. Raulin, horses are like people, and they all react to it differently. Some love...

If you wanted to send over a collar sized strip of embroidery, we could swap it out for a small fee. As for outerwear, I feel your pain but I'm not going to be able to help with that. Once you get past 1500 outerwear is significantly different in 5 year chunks, 50 mile radii and many layers of socia...

Not sure, I'd have to go look. I have not examined one in a while.

Ditto what Isabella E said exactly. Looks like personal history that needs to be resolved in private. I've had Matthew Bartlett as a customer with no problems.

Hehehehe. You should have been around here when I was developing them.
