    Woot woot! I made it on Jezebel (well... sort of). I'm the cover for 2010 (and I think Mr. November).


    My wife reads this site every day (sorry girls [and gay guys] I am attached) and she was thrilled when she came across a thread about the calendar on here. When the new one comes out, I'm just wondering about how much grief I'm going to get from my family and friends... I already got a ton of it when I went to the photo shoot in December!

    But these are still Mormon men. Therefore probably not much fun at all.


    Unless you can corrupt them, which I spent a full four years working on while at BYU. hehehehe.


    Hey, I figure they were trying hard to convert me, so why couldn't I do the same? Right? Right?

    @nourbatta: Right. Pulling good Mormon boys away from the church for marriage to heathens is a proud tradition in the Vulcanized family. It goes back generations.

    Have mormon church leaders never been bored enough in a sacrament meeting to pore over the illustrations in the Book of Mormon? Google Arnold Friberg if you want to see some fine traditional examples of Mormon Beefcake in the Arts.


    As far as staring at buff mormon dudes, I grew up with them. Something about knowing that a woman can't get into the highest kingdom of heaven without a man, and if a dude plays his cards right he gets to be a god in his own right (impregnating multiple wives through eternity) tends to lend itself to a certain amount of unearned arrogance.

    I attended the launch party for the upcoming calendar and yes, the gentlemen that have posed for this are RMs (Return Missionaries) but the majority of them are not interested in what we have between our legs, ladies.

    My favorite is and always will be the "Hot italian Priest" calendar. Nothing against Mormons, or anything, but be-frocked Italian priests really do it for me. Yeah.

    But really, why not reduce the church to pure camp? You can do it to everything else, so why not Mormonism? I think that, in a way, it is an effective way to normalize them. Look at the comments on this post alone - very little about the structure and rigidity of Mormonism and a lot about the structure and rigidity of that guy with the abs up there. I'm not exactly sure that I want Mormonism to go more mainstream, but this isn't necessarily a bad way to do it.

    I don't get the need for religious organizations to sex up their image. (A group of nuns was supposed to hold a beauty pageant, but I don't know if they actually did). A garment-less Mormon in a mock Christ pin-up seems more offensive that anything Big Love could do.


    I will say that growing up, my brother's best friend was Mormon, and he and his brothers were freakin' beautiful.

    @mharker: The Mormon church doesn't want to sex up their image - that's why this Chad guy got kicked out of school. Or maybe they set the whole thing up like that - they're a very shrewd bunch.

    @mharker: I think that, as much as the Mormon church wants to be seen as mainstream, they still take that idea of being "in the world, but not of the world" very seriously.

    I love it! But I'd rather have a beefcake Firemen calendar because jilling off to a Mormon beefcake one would feel sacrilegious.

    What, did the Mormon church forget the story of Joseph Smith having to leave New York over his controversial three-year calendar, "My Sexy Sisterwives"? The legend persists today, as the calendar was rendered in gold and was only to be seen by Smith himself, in his private quarters.

    My old crush on Trey Parker, then him playing a Mormon in Orgazmo has given me a sad crush on Mormon boys in button downs.
