Say it Taint' so!
Before those of you with dirty minds get all het up, let me 'splain. On the left, we have my 2011 Anne Taintor retro calendar. On the right? Not so much. You see, I didn't buy my 2012 Anne Taintor calendar in time, and now the bloody things are selling for upwards of FIFTY DOLLARS on the interwebs! Methinks not. Retro and cheeky though her calendars may be, Anne Taintor's pimps ain't makin' no fifty simoleons off of my cherry-apron-covered arse (yeah, I wear it backwards - so what?) for a damn wall calendar.
So I looked for another retro calendar, and found it on ebay. It arrived the other day, and as you can see it's about a quarter the size of a regular wall calendar. It was listed alongside all the other normal sized wall calendars, and nowhere in the description did it say "wall calendar for Mickey Rooney", or "tiny wall calendar", or "this wall calendar is only six inches square" or anything of the sort.
I smell a negative feedback coming down the pike for a certain ebay seller... and yes, I learned my lesson. I pre-ordered my 2013 Anne Taintor calendar (just eleven smackaroonies and change) from Amazon.

How very organised of you. I can't even imagine a 2013, though I suppose it'll be along in due course.
Good Lord! All that money for a calendar?
It's not as though it's useable again next year!

Isabelle - I suspect that if I didn't have a retro-themed kitchen, I wouldn't be so organized about my calendar buying. It's just that Anne Taintor's stuff is the bees knees (not fifty bucks' worth, but you know what I mean).
SP - I am agog, as well.
