Saturday, January 29, 1983 Marshfield News-Herald Page 5 nudes like old nudes for pinup calendar EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) Bill Baldwin has put a new wrinkle in the pinup calendar business senior citizens in the buff. "The only things I've ever seen about old people are negative," the 61-yearold Baldwin explained. "I thought, 'Let's do something positive and see what Many people who first bought the calendars sent pictures of themselves for future editions and a physician says the pinups could help combat But a Washington group that lobbies for the elderly says old people don't need to bare all to be important. The 1983 edition of Baldwin's "Sexy Sixties" calendar is his second nd such effort.

Last year's version featured senior citizens fully clothed, although some wore come-hither attire. With each mail-order copy of the 1982 booklet -style calendar, Baldwin sent a request for more pictures to make another edition. "We started to get nude ones," said Baldwin, self-employed in industrial sales and training. "There must be an interest. I think we had about 40 Family without even: So Baldwin asked for more nudes and received 187 in all, some from people their 80s.

He said about 1,000 copies of the new, $5 poster-size calendar were sold during their first week on the market. The calendar has 10 black-and-white photos of 10 men and women all in their 60s including the muscular Baldwin, although he is shown from the waist up only. The other models are in various stages of undress or the altogether. The calendar identifies them by first name only and Baldwin said he promised them anonymity in return for free use of the pictures. "All but one is a grandparent and one woman has more than 16 grandchildren," said Baldwin, who urges the over-60 group to "stay ininvolved physically, economically and sexually." "The majority (of the models) seem to feel there ought to be something, some way they can contribute more and get involved more in life," said the 6- foot-4, 214-pound former college football lineman.

Dr. Gerald Osborn, acting dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine at nearby Michigan State University, agrees with Baldwin. 'Old people are beautiful, too," he said. "Essentially what the calendar might counter is the 'malignant agism' myth." Osborn, 35, said the public's idea of old people is "negative" and is akin to racism and sexism, adding that the calendar might be useful in his lectures on aging and sexuality. The calendar drew a less enthusiastic response from Lloyd Wright, a spokesman for the American Association of Retired Persons in Washington, D.C., which lobbies for senior citizens' rights.

"Clearly, we think that older people can demonstrate (their vitality and contribution to society) without resorting to that kind of tactic," he said. Baldwin said he has distributors for the calendar in California and in Michigan, but that most sales are mailorder. Flirting 'good for soul, social life' (AP) Go ahead, bat those baby blue eyes.
