I think there should be at least one GranMan in it. For lots of reasons.

GNHQ have commented on this thread. Read here.
So as many of you will know, following on from the whole selfie phenomenon, Galen volunteered to do her own pose to raise money (and awareness) for research into cancer. (You can find the original thread HERE
That got us thinking, and in consultation with Galen we have come up with the idea of doing our very own Calendar Girls style calendar. To raise money (and we are happy for people to decide which charity). To raise awareness (ditto). And also to turn on its head the idea that older people (and one person we spoke to who is working to get "older" people online is targetting those above 45...) cannot be internet savvy and up to speed with the latest technology.
So - classic poses with any bits that need hiding (
) hidden not with the obvious cakes and flowers but with smart phones, lap tops, tablets, e readers etc.
Galen has laid claim to the Rokeby Venus with a Mac Air instead of a mirror. Now all we need is 11 other gransnetters to volunteer too (groups welcome!)
There will be nothing on show that you don't want on show. Logistics are being logisticised (is that a word?!) so do pick a pose and join the fun...
I am absolutely gorgeous, and wouldn't want to show anyone else up, so I'll have to decline GNHQ's kind offer due to modesty issues...
And what's going on in the picture on the easel there? 
Any picture of me would be reminiscent of certain Lucien Freud ones and I don't mean his portrait of the Queen! I would need a great deal of airbrushing. 
I have been a nude model - would a painting do?
I'm up for it, so long as it's not too soon (suntan/diet )
Model Writing Postcards by Carl Larsson. Substitute iPad for cards?
Personally, I rather fancy the pre Raphaelites - Ophelia by Millais wearing a pair of earphones - but may possibly have problem with the electrics in the lake!
It's all about equipment Ana
What do you mean, Nonu? How 'different'?
Just come across this as be out all afternoon , it sounds rather fun to me .
I would be up for it , although seeing all the profiles there are far better looking G/Ns around than me .
Still I thought about it , perhaps there could be a photo -shoot of different G/Ns. How about that ??
Phoenix your tea towel was by far the best - but sometimes ya just gotta admit defeat
