Men of Tagrel.com Calendars now available!

[Tagrel]

OK everyone! The moment you have ALL been waiting for! ;)

The Men of Tagrel.com calendars are ready to order! Lisa (photographer) has been working hard to pull together all the photos as well as research and create the calendars themselves.

Men of Tagrel 2007 Calendars on Lulu.com (http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=810578)

We will be using lulu.com for the calendars and there are two versions available.
Premium Version: 13 pages, 13.50" x 19.00", coil binding, 80# white interior paper, full-color interior ink. $24.00
Standard Version: 26 pages, 11" x 8.5", coil binding, 100# white interior paper, full-color interior ink. $15.00Make sure to check your shipping, as it seems to default to UPS which is mighty pricey! :shock: Media Mail was only $1.91 for me... and Priority Mail was $4.86 The site makes about $3 per calendar.

Don't worry too much about getting the calendar in mid January... We knew this would happen since most of the pictures were taken at MouseFest, so January is a collage of outtakes. :yes:

Lisa promises to post some previews of the monthly pictures!

Thanks everyone and a big thanks to Lisa for all her hard work! It was FUN running around the VWL lobby in my jammies.... :oops: :mickeyXmas:

I would like to thank Dave for allowing me to run with this idea. It was tossed about in 2005 but that was it. Last year I brought up the idea again and went full speed ahead and am very happy that I did. I enjoyed spending time with each of the guys and their families. They all did a great job and deserve a round of applause.

There are 11 guys in the 12 month calendar. I had one guy who wasn't able to make it to MouseFest but offered to meet me in Boston because he really wanted to be a part of the calendar. Unfortunately, at the last minute his schedule changed. I went with a collage to fill the month.

My thanks to Ray, John, Jason, Ken, Brian, Mike, Bill, Robb, Dave, Will, and Mark for taking the time out of their vacations and submitting themselves to my imagination. Special thanks to Michelle, Mik, Sharon, Terri, Carol, Janice, Robbie and all of the families who let me borrow these guys for the shoots. I truly appreciate it. Thanks to Brian for making the Wet Paint sign for Mark's shoot. Thanks to Amy for offering up her Milanos for Dave's shoot. Thanks to CM Donna for letting us borrow the pony for Ken's shoot.

And now on to the photos...

[PrincessRosie]

Love it!!!!!!

[MargaretJ]

Lisa great job! I think I will need to buy one of these babies. I love them all but am partial to Mr. May. ;)

[lynner5996]

Too funny, Lisa - Can't wait to get it!

[Moley]

I'll be ordering mine soon. How cute is this! :D

[Frogman]

Oh Lisa they turned out great. What a fun idea. You are the best fiance ever! Just remember everyone... I picked May because that's just when it starts getting hot. ;)

Great pics everyone!

[FLSharon]

Oh my gosh!! They are sooo good.. Great job, Lisa!!!! I know you worked hard here and it really did occupy most of your time at Mousefest.


And to Dave... I just love your jammies!!

[Moley]

Is Lulu an Amazon site? If so, we can use the site link, too.

[Moley]

Well, it looks like an Amazon affiliate but it isn't. I did a search on Amazon.

[MissBianca]

Got mine! Woohooo! :clap: :clap: I hope it will be waiting for me when I get back from Marathon but probably not since I think they ship media mail on the backs of caterpillars.

Gee, if I didn't have Bernard, I'd want one of each of those models ;)

[ddoll]

I ordered mine. Nice job, Lisa. I even ordered it before seeing the pictures.

You really need to add my handsome guy next year. He actually was a model! ;)

[Sheryl]

Great job Lisa, I love it! All of the men looked great too.

I must say, I was shocked to see your fiance and Margaret's hubby showing some leg.:D

[MargaretJ]

Great job Lisa, I love it! All of the men looked great too.

I must say, I was shocked to see your fiance and Margaret's hubby showing some leg.:D

He looks good, huh? I can see it now you will be all over him during Marathon if he dons those shorts again. Heck you will be anyway, who am I kiddng! ;)

[PrincessRosie]

woo woo!!!!!!!

I am a good woo woo person, too, since I do it a lot at Mardi Gras--should be a professional woo woo person.

Look at the hotties!

[Photographer]

Yes, indeed Brian is showing off his legs. Now try getting him down to just one shirt. LOL

[Sheryl]

He looks good, huh? I can see it now you will be all over him during Marathon if he dons those shorts again. Heck you will be anyway, who am I kiddng! ;)

Um, I thought he was mine, if you get Terry?

[Jimbolini1963]

You did well, Lisa!

Jim

[Frogman]

Yes, indeed Brian is showing off his legs. Now try getting him down to just one shirt. LOL

Not even 6 Magaritas did that! :lol:

[MissBianca]

Not even 6 Magaritas did that! :lol:

You had six margaritas that day? Must be a magic number.

[MargaretJ]

You had six margaritas that day? Must be a magic number.

You know one of my nicknames is Margarita. You would think the hubby would know how to spell it.;)

[MissBianca]

You know one of my nicknames is Margarita. You would think the hubby would know how to spell it.;)
And the six refers to ... TOO MUCH INFORMATION. :oops:

[Photographer]

None of the models were intoxicated. No men were harmed during the making of this calendar.

[Robb]

None of the models were intoxicated. No men were harmed during the making of this calendar.

At least, not that you were aware of. :mrgreen:

Mr. March 2007

[Frogman]

Margaret, I can spell it. Just not when I have been drinking. And Miss B I didn't say I drank them that day, just that I did. You wouldn't know what happened though. You left early. ;)

[Moley]

None of the models were intoxicated. No men were harmed during the making of this calendar.

:lmbo: I love that line.

[FLSharon]

Big Johns calendar is on its way... do you have ANY idea how difficult it will be to live with him now??? It will probably be JULY alll year long...:shock:

[Annette]

Lisa,

Great job! I cant wait for mine to arrive!

[Sheryl]

Big Johns calendar is on its way... do you have ANY idea how difficult it will be to live with him now??? It will probably be JULY alll year long...:shock:

Oh Sharon, that is so funny! LOL

[PrincessRosie]

I got mine!!!

No men were harmed--that sounds so funny. I think that needs to be in Photographer's avatar or somewhere in her signature.

[Jimbolini1963]

I think I should be in 2008's calendar. If I am, I'll try to make myself presentable.

Jim

[zakerdog]

Great job Lisa, I know you put a lot of time into the making of the calendar and you should be proud of the end result. (I just love Dave's jammies)

[RhinoDad]

As Mr. November, I just got to say this was one of the highlights of MY vacation!

Lisa was great, and as an added bonus, I got to see Dave's shoot, which was just before mine. Those jammies are cute indeed...

Oh, and yes, on a good day, I think I can lift maybe even 10 pounds...

Great job Lisa, and all our remarkable models! Thank you for this opportunity!

Remember, this all goes to help support one of our favorite 'Net homes, so order yours today. I'll be happy to autograph any copies next MouseFest!

RhinoDad

[twinks]

Autograph copies!! :shock: Oh Rhinodad, PLEASE, don't give GHJ any ideas.

I am off to order mine. Great job Lisa!

twinks

[Photographer]

Sharon,
You know having July last all year long could be fun. Fireworks every night, he'll make lunch and dinner every night (of course real food is healthier than plastic) and best of all, John will always wear his hat that you love so much. ;)

Bill, I think an autograph signing is a brilliant idea! Why I remember as a 17 yr old meeting the Chippendales at a calendar signing. Ehhh LOL That just brought back some memories! :D

[MikeS]

I think I should be in 2008's calendar. If I am, I'll try to make myself presentable.

Jim

I dunno Jim...once you are recognized as one of the "months" you're accosted by all the Tag fans.

Why just yesterday before the Prime Time meet we had to call security before every stitch of clothing was torn from Brian's back. You know how zealous fans can be.

I'm sure Dave is smart enough not to walk around in public wearing those cute PJs 'cause...welll....you know...zealous fans.

That's what happens...Lisa makes everyone a star.

[Tagrel]

LOL- well smart enough to keep out of public in jammies everywhere EXCEPT the VWL lobby! :oops:

Sure hope the groupies cool down before our August trip... and I guess wearing my SUMMER jammies in the lobby is a big no-no! :yikes: :lol:

[Timon]

Ordered mine yesterday and it shipped today. June is going to come early this year. ;)

[FLSharon]

Ours was waiting for us when we got home... I'm sure it'll be July here every month!!:lol:


And Great Job Lisa , it looks dynamite!!

[Beci]

Great work Lisa! Love it!!!

[Timon]

woo woo!!!!!!!

Look at the hotties!

Thank you Rosie.

[ddoll]

Thank you Rosie.

Well, you WERE looking pretty good there, Mark! ;)

[Timon]

Well, you WERE looking pretty good there, Mark! ;)

Ahhhh thanks Debi, but even a chimp in a monkey suit looks good.;)

[Photographer]

Yay! I'm thrilled that the calendars look good and you are enjoying them.

[Timon]

Got mine today and I just have to wonder if it's June, why the heck is it so danged cold?:D

[ddoll]

Got mine today. Love the pictures. You really did a wonderful job with them Lisa.

My only complaint is the calendar itself. I wanted large blocks to write in, so I ordered the large calendar. All I got was gigantic pictures: the blocks on the calendar part were very small. :rolleyes:

Oh well, I still have beefcake to look at. ;)

[Photographer]

Got mine today and I just have to wonder if it's June, why the heck is it so danged cold?:D
June weddings - you're the groom. The very suave, adorable, and dapper groom to be exact.

Debi - I didn't the months themselves would be smaller. Will keep that in mind. At least the photos look good.

I'm going to write a Making of the Men Calendar "trip report" soon. Should be funny.

[Moley]

I'm really looking forward to that report. I know it will be a hoot. Is there a deadline to buy our calendars for those of us possibly challenged by holiday and vacation bills?

[Photographer]

I'm really looking forward to that report. I know it will be a hoot. Is there a deadline to buy our calendars for those of us possibly challenged by holiday and vacation bills?

Moley, I believe you can buy the calendar at any time. I don't forsee us closing shop for quite a while.

[MissBianca]

Came home from this trip to finally get to open my calendar! What fun! I'm sure it will put a smile on my face every day. Thank you Lisa for making us this fun and useful item--and I too would LOVE to see a "trip report" made up of your photoshoot experiences. I can tell by the various sets that there will be good stories indeed!

[Belle]

I better go order mine, eh???? :shock:

[Moley]

By the way, the nekkid pic of Beast is the preview for the Premium calendar. Thanks, Belle, for loaning him out like that. :D

[Belle]

Just doing my part to help out :lol:

[lynner5996]

Mine was waiting for me when I got home from the marathon. Since DD and DH met a few of the guys, they were able to get a laugh out of it too, especially the birthday and Mousefest notes.

Thanks, Lisa, they are a wonderful idea! You guys look just great!

[MargaretJ]

Have no idea where mine is. It says it was delieved on the 8th but I don't have it & neither does the office. I guess I will be calling the Post Office tomorrow.

[Photographer]

That's not good, Margaret. Fingers crossed it turns up quickly!

[lllovell]

Woah! I almost missed out. Gonna order mine after lunch. All I can say is

BEEFCAKE BEEFCAKE!!! Woohoo!!! :yahoo:

[Photographer]

LOL Thanks for ordering. I'm sure you'll enjoy the photos.

[lllovell]

Mine arrived!!!!

:eek: :D :oops: :lol:


I love it! Great job Photographer and kudos to all the participants!

Laura

[Photographer]

Glad you're enjoying it.

[Photographer]

Just a reminder that you can order the calendar at any time. It's a collector's item. :)
