I found this totally refreshing post looking for something else. I agree wholeheartedly that this kind of thing in no way demeans women – or men for that matter. Why shouldn’t a pretty woman do this? It doesn’t mean she isn’t intelligent. When will people stop thinking in this way?

Personally I don’t think it in any way demeans women in IT, nature made us men find women attractive, that means its great advertising.. It doeasn’t even bother me when men are always depicted on adverts as the ‘goons who can’t work a washing machine’

Very true I think that if it makes them feel sexy go for it, people need to feel beautiful by whatever or whoever makes them feel that way

There seems to be too many people wantintg to create each us into their image of who we should be and what we should value. Each of us have our own strenghts and weaknesses.

I modeled for a number of years before I became disabled. I also loved working as a photographer. I constantly ran into people who thought that because I was a model that I was “dumb” or didn’t have any brains. Many of them had trouble adjusting to the fact that I started photographing models. Being behind the camera instead of the camera.

Now I’m a graphic designer and enjoy that almost as much as photography. There’s nothing in my world that says that I have to be a “one trick pony” and can’t be mult-talented. I enjoy creating website graphics, faux magazine covers, digital ecovers, and business postcards.

My mentor, Leonard Manion, is a very sexy and highly intelligent man. He was my inspiration for many things. I was in awe of all the things he seemed to be able to do. Whether it was creating audio books, running a non profit, writing articles, glamour photography, real estate investing, teaching Tai Chi, etc… I asked him how he could do so much?

He responded that you have to keep in touch with your “inner child”. The inner child who wants to explore the world around them and learn new things.

I’m looking into other ways to express my creativity. Perhaps I’ll do one on SUPER HOT & SMART disabled women. hmmmm…

Hello,
I chanced up on this blog by searching calendars. I am least surprised since the French had realised a hundred years before that putting a beatiful woman before anything will increase its sales. Being surrounded by career women in life,I sincerely believe excuses or appologies are hardly necessary for what you do. Best regards.

I am so so so late in finding you – sorry:-( I am Sonja Bernhardt Screen Goddess innovator – not American Beauty cover girl Sonja. Thanks for noting our project and interestingly enough so far 59% of sales have been to women so looks like general market appeal:-))

The worldwide debat has been fascinating to monitor and contribute to. You guys seem pretty on track with no major confusion about that fact that we ARE integrated beings where our brains are not disembodied form the rest of us:-)

PS do purchase a calendar we have neat competitions all with techie twists check them out on the web site http://www.itgoddess.info PLUS for the next few days we are ebay auctioning off A1 limied edition posters from some calendar images – all with great IT career slogans eg: catwomen ‘Don’t pussyfoot around..a career in IT is puuurrrfect!”

have fun – we did
Sonja
