Accordion Babes Pin-up Calendar 2018 Edition Last Call for Artists
squeezeboxgoddess:
This isn't just any calendar... it's an accordion-themed sexy calendar where all the models are professional recording artists. The real sexiness is proved on the compilation CD which is sold with the calendar. I know this will sound like a stretch but we are actually publishing these pin-up photos in the name of feminism. I happen to think that the "Barbie" ideal is complete non-sense and that no one better embodies my ideals of attractiveness better than independent artists who play the squeezebox. Professional accordionists are my heroes and I love to celebrate them in a unique and fun way. The compilation CD is always a treat to listen to with many styles of music, featuring the accordion of course! A real beauty has brains and talent, bravery and a sense of fun.
We're the Accordion Babes and we're looking to fill the last 2-4 places in the 2018 calendar with great musicians. Every age and body-type preferred. You must be female, ready to take a sexy photo with your accordion; and have a recording ready to send in for our album. The final art deadline is August 15th-ish. (Though yes I can consider photos within a few days of that date.)
I'm Renee, the organizer of the Accordion Babes Pin-up Calendar and a professional button box player currently based in Hamburg, Germany. I would love to feature an artist (or several artists?) from the UK and Ireland this year. Also I would love to feature a few more button accordions from any country because... you know... they are their own wonderful instruments which aren't so well known to many younger folks. We're definitely a makeover for the reputation of the accordion. If you're interested in seeing what we do, you can look at the Pin-up Galleries on our website: accordionpinupcalendar.com
You can also email me directly at editor@accordionpinupcalendar.com with requests for more info or with clues and/or contact information for more artists who are a good fit for this calendar. Many thanks are in order if you can send an artist my way! We don't have much time... In mid-August I have to go to print or call it quits and wait another year to publish the next edition.
Thanks for your help and vive l'accordeon!

Rene--these young ladies might be a start... and you are correct, button players need representation!
