The Modern Materialist : pinups

Big Love, on a Daily Basis

Which would you find hotter? 12 sexy priests, to gaze upon all year long, or...

12 sexy Mormons?

Men on a Mission is a calendar featuring 12 former Mormon missionaries "who have dared to pose bare-chested." The calendar is allegedly meant to create a dialogue around people's misconceptions regarding Mormonism.

Depending upon whether you purchase your calendar signed or unsigned, you can snag one for $15.95 or $25.95.

Every Nerdy Boy's Wet Dream

I think it is every fanboy's fantasy to find a girl that DVRs "Battlestar Galactica", knows how to use torrents and private trackers, and reads comics (monthlies, not trades). Alas, this is mostly a myth. At least we can still pretend with these nerdcore postcard pin-ups! More after the jump:

All 4 postcards are available in the set!

Holy Hotness!

Holy frickin' crap. I'd break all 10 commandments to score some alone time Signor Sexy here.

At the very least, a girl can dream...especially when she has a year's worth of hot photos to spur her on:

Too Young for Naughty Fun?

I'm loving the mobiles over at Etsy shop Salty and Sweet, but I'm wondering...for whom would I buy this centerfold mobile, or this pinup one:

I'm thinking this would make for an inappropriate baby shower gift (hehe), but not all the mobiles feature curvy, young women in pornographic poses:

Okay. Maybe that last one wasn't kid-appropriate either. If it's so wrong, however, I don't wanna be right!

Giving Something Back

This past Friday, I went to the NYC Sex Bloggers 2009 Calendar Release Party, at the White Rabbit in Soho. The calendar was being sold to raise money to support Sex Work Awareness, an organization that trains sex workers in media skills and educates the public about issues that affect people who work in the sex industry. Calendar models included a number of awesome women within the sex blogging realm, such as Audacia Ray, Jamye Waxman, and Elizabeth Wood . Aside from calendars and free lube, we were treated to burlesque performances, raffles, and homemade cookies. I also came home with this fun toy! What does this have to do with you?

You can still purchase a calendar here! They look awesome!

Of course, if you'd like to give back in another way, may I suggest Volunteer Match, which allows you to search for volunteer opportunities with a number of criteria. Leave your favorite volunteer organizations and charity causes in the comments!
