The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday December 8, 2004 -B3 Fundraiser inspired by Calendar Girls movie Continued from page HI Woollam, who has studied commer cial photography at Sheridan College in 1997 "but I've been shooting much longer," is currently exhibiting some of her work - nothing from the calendar - at the Second Cup. For Woollam, a passion for photog raphy became a business. She divides her time between shooting and flying. · "For the calendar I photographed women who are 50ish to show that we can be fabulous, fun and upbeat, and I think we accomplished that 50 is beau tiful. "And yes, the poses are slightly sexy...sexy but tasteful." The shoots were scheduled in between flights, explained Woollam, who spent eight half-days shooting, mostly at Buttonville. "We started at the end of September and done by the end of October. It's pretty incredible how quickly we did it. "Ttilk about a high-pressure dead line. You really never know how involved a project is until you start. It was a lot of work. "But. we had so much fun, a lot of laughing and giggling and carry on - it was a lot of fun. "The `models' were very willing. They donated their time and energy, it was amazing," concluded Woollam. In addition to the photographs, the calendar committee headed by Ruth Fatheringham, project director and Miss April - the calendar was her idea sought out sponsors to cover printing costs, and organized a successful launch party at the Indian Motorcycle Cate and Lounge. And, along with the photographs, the calendar includes trivia about air ports, runways, airlines and airspeeds, and some interesting passenger flight history. The first flight attendants were `cabin boys' hired in 1922. The first female flight attendants were nurses hired during the 1930s to comfort pas sengers and to psychologically dispel the public's fear of flying. The first female flight attendants had to be single, under 25, no taller than 5'4" and weigh less than 115 pounds - pilots weighed them to ensure compliance. The first group of women flight attendants became known as the Original Eight. Among their duties during the 1930s was to "Check the floor bolts on the wicker seats to make sure they are securely fastened down. Swat flies in cabin after tale-off. Warn passengers against throwing lighted smoking butts or other objects out of windows, particularly over populated areas." according to the United Airlines Archives. "The pioneer stewardesses mopped the floor when the toilet overflowed, adjusted the clocks and altimeters in the cabin, handed out chewing gum, blankets, ammonia capsules, and slip pers on night flights, cleaned passen ger's shoes, swept the floor, and carried a railroad timetable in case connec tions had to be made," wrote David Fuscher and Bill Garvey in and quoted in the cal endar. "Once finished for the night, they helped push the airplane into its hang er before heading home." And, according to the calendar, "A ers, playing piano, and making jam. The Alternative WI Calendar for 2000, which sparked a media frenzy in England and the United States, raised more than $750,000 (£500,000) for leukemia and lymphoma research from the sale of.some 300,000 calen dars. "It's a wonderful inspiring movie," said Woollam. The movie, released last year, is based on the book by Tricia Stewart - the head-turning 2000 WI calendar was her idea as a means of raising money in memory of John Baker, her best friend Angela Baker's husband, who died in 1998 of nonHodgkin's lymphoma. The two women spearheaded the project, and invited others aged 45 - 65 to pose nude save for a pearl necklace for the photographs taken by Terry Logan, husband of one of the partici pants, for a calendar printed in sepia. Each photograph contained a yel low sunflower, which became a symbol of hope. John Baker grew sunflowers and gave them to his friends and fami ly hoping he would recover by the time they bloomed. In the movie. Baker and Stewart were portrayed as Annie (played by Julie Walters) and Chris (Helen Mirren) respectively. One photograph in the Cabin Fever calendar that "comes the closest to the WI calendar" shows Miss August, Patti Baker posing discreetly behind two dishes of chocolates, a glass and a can of beer.
