Finally, a gift for our many friends who are huge Brooklyn boosters AND huge fans of alternative erotica. Marty Markowitz, we're looking at you! Presenting the I Heart Brooklyn Girls Calendar:
Each month of the 2007 I Heart Brooklyn Girls calendar, a real live queer femme from our neighborhood re-vamps a decade of classic pinup, from 1900's Gibson Girls to 1940's Varga Girls to 2000's Suicide Girls...and beyond.The soapy, shapely tush of our 1980's juvie-d Guidette graces our cover. Click to see the full-bod month-by-month interior pages.
A portion of our proceeds will be donated to the essential New York City Gay and Lesbian Anti-Violence Project.
GIVE THE GIFT OF PINUP THIS HOLIDAY!
I Heart Brooklyn Girls T-Shirts and
PRIORITY AND EXPRESS SHIPPING AVAILABLE!The gift that gives all...year...long.
And a bargain at only $15! But can someone explain Ms. Park Slope? We get that it's supposed to be Park Slope 2017, but really-- that one is a puzzler. [Via Sunset Parker, Brooklyn Record, and countless friends who sent this link in today.]

no bed stuy.
lol.
you spelled it wrong in the headline, but right in the body.
"calendar"
Um, wow.
So the hipsters reallyn did drive out all the minorites.
why no Ms. Bush-wick?
this is fantastic.
Great concept, beautiful girls!
I mean no disrespect to the photographer, but I think just it's unfortunate that a majority of them too closely physically resemble "Miss Williamsburg for roughly the past five years."
Also Miss Bensonhurst's full sleeve is a bit out of place for Bensonhurst in 1955, no?
Hell, even today I'm sure my guidette cousins saw her on the street in Bensonhurst, they would unfortunately give her the evil eye or something.
I have a strange feeling these girls are NOT virgins.....
i think miss park slope is supposed to be one of those babies in the doublewide strollers all grown up
Miss Bensonhurst 1955 is all wrong. You didn't have heavily tattooed women back then.
And yeah, where are all the minorities?
uh...no "miss greenpoint?"
um...minorities=
1.miss park slope 2017= miss cegenated
and 2. miss bushwick.
and miss brooklyn heights looks a little light-n-bright herself.
hipsters= over self-conscious white folks with decent hair cuts and expensive shoes. aka the leisure class.
errr..i meant miss cypress hills-- not miss bushwick. miss ch is HOTTTT. .
#10, the G train was late, she didn't make it to the photo shoot on time
Huh? "Each month of the 2007 I Heart Brooklyn Girls calendar, a real live queer femme. . ."
You mean they're all gay??
Brooklyn's like .. 60% white, and in the past, was probably like 80% white, so it's not a total !!!WHITEY WASH CONSPIRACY!!!
I wondered where the minorities were, too... it's not hard to find some cool black chicks in Bed-Stuy or Clinton Hill, or Hispanic ones whereever. I doubt that's the calender's demographic, though.
Brooklyn is actually only 34% white so it kind of is a whitey wash conspiracy. It's sad. Brooklyn used to be cool.

"miss flatbush" *snicker*
Miss Park Slope is a send-up of American Apparel ads.
I love you, Dobkin, you just don't give a damn. Happy holidays! Here's to more T&A in '07...
ew. gothamist loves to post ugly women on this site for some reason.
Miss Carrol Gardens..? uuuummmmm..? uuuhhhhh??
Oh never mind..!
um. I don't know bout you guys, but there are OBVIOUSLY about 5 of them hotties that are minorities. Miss CH!! Yowsa!
Skank-tacular.
I want to put my face in it.
Do hipsters have math issues? I see one OBVIOUS minority (Miss CH) and two possibles who have been made up to be as white as possible (Miss BH and Miss PS). Either way, the calendar illustrates all that has gone wrong with Brooklyn.
febuary is vietnamese
march is greek
june is cuban
august is puerto rican
september and october are italian
and december is african american.
People, there are only, like, four girls modeling for these photographs. It's really a feat of concept and costuming.
And hello... these are ALL minorities. It's a queer calendar. Nobody's trying to make a statement about ethnicity; whether your borough is "cool" has nothing to do with the color range of your pin-up calendars, which always just represents the demographic that happens to be making them and/or buying them. And these chicks are fucking gorgeous.
