Well then, you've got almost one month to prepare for this magical event, which will put you in close range with the nation's hottest firefighters... and the city's finest sex toy collection. The "mix & mingle" event is for the Nation's Bravest 2012 calendar, so you can pick one of those up while you're there too, and will take place at Babeland SoHo on December 14th, from 7 to 9 p.m. more ›

Recently we got a blurry sneak peek at what the 2012 FDNY calendar will look like... and now there's (crystal clear) video to go with it. They say the clip will "take you behind the scenes of the FDNY 2012 calendar shoot" but they do not say to turn the volume up so you can hear the extra-special '70s-porn-meets-muzak background music. So we are here to tell you: turn it up to 11. more ›

Another day, another firefighter taking his clothes off for a calendar. We're not complaining, and they have been looking for revenue-generating ideas, after all. But while some may be heated up over the FDNY's proposed "accident tax" plan—we're more concerned about their Twitter operator getting a better cameraphone. Enjoy this (blurry) behind-the-scenes sneak peek of the calendar—these photos were posted earlier today on the aforementioned Twitter, which declared they are already "finishing up our 2012 calendar shoot! It will be at www.fdnyfirezone.org soon!" more ›

The FDNY's annual "beefcake" calendar is back, ladies (and gents). While the presses were stopped back in 2008 after a nude video of one firefighter showed up on a gay porn site, the incident didn't stop New York's Bravest from posing again. And with a new year ahead, it seems they've found a new charity they just had to help out: the FDNY! The calendar has always raised money for charity, but the FDNY has never taken money for themselves, but according to the NY Post, money is tight and they could really use the estimated $300,000 earned from their Calendar of Heroes. Why not? more ›

There are few traditions better than the firefighter calendar... and the 2011 City of the Brave calendar has arrived! According to the Daily News, this is different than the official FDNY calendar, but who doesn't need more than one calendar? Photographer Katherine Kostreva created the City of the Brave one after firefighters saved her life, and the 26-year-old has since "made it her artistic mission to honor the firemen's selfless bravado and their muscular bodies." Meet those muscular bodies at the launch party at Red Sky Bar (47 East 29th Street) tomorrow at 8 p.m. And in the interest of being fair, here's a peek at the official FDNY calendar boys. You're welcome: more ›

The firefighters usually get all the glory when it comes to shaking their "tails" for charity, but now there are some new (furrier) faces: the firehouse's cute canines (most of which are strays the firefighters have adopted). A charity calendar is coming out this fall and will be the first ever to honor the pups—and amongst the 12 will be 3 city canines. The NY Post is hosting the contest to narrow down the 12 to the final 3, so you can vote over there—we're going with Ladder 122's Nikita, because who can resist a this photo? more ›

Those tabloid bottom-feeders at the Daily News are so desperate for page views that they've been reduced to publishing a gratuitous photo spread documenting the release of the 2010 Hooters calender. It's far beneath Gothamist's dignity to link to such lowbrow frat-bait, but we have taken the time to gather some photos from the event—just so you can fully understand the shameless hucksterism that's gripped the Zuckerman organization. We've also got some barely SFW video below, too... for reference. more ›

Knock knock! Who's there? It's the hunky Time Warner cable guy of your dreams! You know, the one that doesn't exist. The company has released a calendar for the new year, and the Daily News has revealed each month's photos (which include the men, and some women, of TWC). NYMag declares that it will make all of your Time Warner Cable guy fantasies come true (except "the ones where you murder the dude for telling you to be home from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. when he actually shows up at 3 p.m."). more ›

The I Heart Brooklyn Girls calendar has been around for a few years now, each time changing its theme (last year Coney Island served as the backdrop throughout the 12 months). Coming up in 2009, the girls take on some pinup looks from the 40s and 50s in a "Women at Work" theme. more ›
