Row over ‘sexy’ farming calendar
Organisers of a farming calendar are denying claims they are ‘sexing up’ the countryside by featuring glamourous models.
The Swiss calendar features a dozen scantily clad models in poses with farmward animals including sheep, goats, horses and chickens.
But critics have accused organisers of exploitation and say they are shamelessly using sex to sell copies of the 2012 calendar.
However, editor Mike Helmy said all of the girls featured worked on farms of lived in the Swiss countryside.
“It’s sexy but not seedy and the girls really are from the farms and the mountains,” he said.
“They’re not just pretty models – they’re ambassadors for farming.”
