Calendar Stunt on Oval

News Transcript
(This is an unedited, uncorrected transcript):

Reporter: Now that we have your attention, the infamous Scarlet & Gray calendar is back. Last year, the students who put out the OSU beefcake boys in print ran afoul of the university's trade-mark protection office. So, what are they going to do for an encour, its called "Campus Briefs."

Barb Kuznik: The first thing that came to mind was, oh, not another cheesy swimsuit calendar.

Reporter: No, not one, but two. One for the boys, and one for the girls. And not swimsuits, but underwear.

Malcolm MacLaren: Its not too bad, I guess it's not as bad until you have the actual public come up to you and say hey, you know, I saw you in this and you're in your underwear and stuff like that. And I guess you cannot really judge that until it happens.

Reporter: It was happening today on the Oval, where calendar promoters staged a test photo session. They're hoping to make this year's calendars more artistic in the style of those high-fashion underwear ads that are in just about every magazine you pick up.

Sean Ashbrook: Well, we are going all out with the artistic line of the calendar. Last year it was just pin-ups. But this year we are going towards art.

Reporter: Today they mastered the art of attracting attention as a big crowd of students gathered to watch a flesh, fog and a flashy car. Are they worried though about getting in trouble with campus bosses?

Sean Ashbrook: Understandably OSU doesn't like the calendar, but we have no problem with that and we think we can exist and they can exist at the same time.

Reporter: If you think you would like the calendar, they will be in the stores Sept. 18 and cost $8.95.

ShootPrep

After working with thousands of new models and college students, we know the concerns, issues and questions many new models have before their first photo shoot. It is normal for even the most macho guy to be nervous prior to his first shoot. We compiled all this training info into “ShootPrep” – our dedicated site for training models with whom we work.

Our photographer uses ShootPrep.com to train new models before their photo sessions.
