The Illusion of Nudity

The illusion of nudity

Were they or weren't they? That's the question everybody asked when it came to how our Courthouse Girls posed for the 2006 "Save the Courthouse" calendar. Our models, ranging  in age at that time from 77 to 94, refused to tell. After all, aren't the most intriguing and alluring women in the world shrouded with a little mystery? The important thing is, they felt so strongly about saving our county courthouse they were willing to appear to be baring "their all" as a protest to the commissioners' decision to destroy this historic building.

We think the photographs are beautiful, and display these women in perfectly good taste while suggesting there might not be much behind these courthouse replicas except the women themselves. When you see the photos, you see women who are elegant, smiling—obviously enjoying themselves—and perfect examples of why "old" is to be treasured, not discarded.

So, were they or weren't they naked? We'll never tell.
