The 1986 And 2014 Calenders Are Same by Zikdik(m): 10:00pm On Jan 03, 2014 |
You could be forgiven for having consigned it to the rubbish bin a decade or two ago. But if you do still happen to have a 1986 calendar lying around, you’re in luck. Because while the vintage pictures may seem a little out of date, the dates themselves will match up perfectly with the year ahead. The dates of 1986 are exactly aligned with the dates of 2014 – so anyone who does discover a dusty 27-year-old calendar in the cupboard will find it is a perfect fit all over again. And the overlap has provided inspiration for calendar makers, who have started reprinting photos from the 1980s in celebration of the event. Instead of shooting a new calendar for this year, bosses at Pirelli decided to release an unpublished set of pictures by prolific fashion photographer Helmut Newton, intended for the year 1986. The idea has also caught the imagination of plenty of internet users, with 1986 calendars popping up for sale on websites such as eBay. One Baywatch-inspired swimsuit calendar from the 80s changed hands for almost $50 (£30), while a wrestling one featuring Hulk Hogan was listed for $21.95 (£13.25) and a limited edition Steiff Teddy Bear Collection calendar was up for grabs priced at $20 (£12). Last night more than 300 other calendars from 1986 were listed for sale as more people rushed to get in on the craze – or perhaps just clear out their cupboards. But while the matching of dates across years seems unusual, it actually is not that rare an occurrence. Calendars from 1997 and 2003 will also prove a perfect fit with this year’s dates. And if you’re the type to plan ahead, 2014 calendars will work for 2025 – which may come as some comfort to fans of Sir Cliff Richard, who last month announced that his 2014 calendar would be his last. Sir Cliff is believed to have sold more than 1.5million calendars over his career and regularly features in the top ten lists, but says they have become too much ‘pressure’ as he gets older. The 2014 calendar shows the 73-year-old wearing cowboy boots perched on the bonnet of a car and walking down railway tracks with a guitar on his back. Kylie Minogue, Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow all also feature in Amazon’s top ten best-selling calendars for 2014. Source: http:// www.osundefender.org/?p=142360 1 Like |
