SUMMARY:LIVE Community Chat: 2014 Irish Farmers Calendar
DESCRIPTION:On Monday, January 6th at 5:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) Time (1
 0:00 p.m. Irish Time), The Wild Geese Community will have the opportun
 ity to speak with Ciara Ryan, the Creator of the wildly popular Irish 
 Farmer Calendars.  We've selected January 6th not by mere chance, but
  with quite purposeful intentions.  January 6th is celebrated as \"Wo
 men's Christmas\" (Nollaig na mBan) in Ireland -- so called because of
  the Irish men taking on all the household duties for the day.  Most 
 women hold parties or go out to celebrate the day with their friends, 
 sisters, mothers, and aunts. Bars and restaurants serve mostly women a
 nd girls on this night, and children often buy presents for their moth
 ers and grandmothers.\nIreland’s farmers have manned up, taken off t
 heir tops, and posed for the Irish Farmer Calendar 2014, which support
 s the Irish charity Bóthar*.  Christened “agri porn” by Irish te
 levision’s Ryan Tubridy, the calendar has received orders from the U
 S, Australia, UK, Germany, Poland and France, Hong Kong, South Africa,
  with an international audience hungry to see the charms of Ireland’
 s farms.\nThe 2014 calendar features hunks of agricultural charm from 
 Westmeath, Tipperary, Wexford, Armagh, Roscommon, and Kilkenny. Resple
 ndent with their farmers’ tans, they appear in their full (or at lea
 st topless) glory along with a goat, a hen, a piglet, lambs, ducks, a 
 rabbit and a turkey, and was shot on location in Brooke House, outside
  Rathdrum, County Wicklow.\nCreator of the calendar series, now in its
  fifth year, Ciara Ryan says that interest in the calendar this year i
 s far exceeding previous years and the feedback has been tremendous. A
  big surprise was with the first order for calendars coming from Brook
 lyn, New York.\nBoth Ciara Ryan and the photographer Fran Marshall hav
 e been taken aback with the response, Fran says, \"All the lads were b
 rilliant and managed to keep smiling despite being a bit cold minus th
 eir shirts. We also had great assistance with the animals from Gareth 
 and Martin from Nore Valley mobile farm unit.\"\nSo, this is The Wild 
 Geese community's good-natured contribution to the Women's Christmas f
 estivities!  Men are certainly encouraged to join in on the chat, but
  we're especially encouraging the ladies to be in the Main Chat Room 
 on Monday the 6th at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time to chat with Ciara Ryan ab
 out the calendar and the fine charity it helps to support.\nThe calend
 ar is now available from www.FarmerCalendar.com for €10.\nFor furth
