Sports Update
Hey, if Sports Illustrated can have a swimsuit issue, then BMEWS is entitled to have a Women’s Curling Cheescake issue. As the article below states, it is “very tasteful”. Yep, yum-yum ....
Women Of Curling Gain Greater Exposure
(CANADIAN PRESS)
Women’s curling is sure to receive a lot more exposure this year, thanks to a new international calendar that features nude and scantily clad female curlers. At left is Polish national team lead Kasia Selwand as seen in her photo from the new Curling calendar. The calendar is the brainchild of Ana Arce, a photographer who skipped the Andorran women’s team for three seasons before moving to Spain this year.
“I think it’s going to change the image of the sport which is not so nice,” Arce, who also poses in the calendar, told The Canadian Press. “I’ve been playing for eight years and there are so many beautiful girls playing and nobody knows it. “I doubt that anyone is going to be shocked and everybody’s going to enjoy that and like it.”
All proceeds will be split between the teams of the curlers who pose in the calendar, called the Ana Arce Team Sponsorship Calendar 2006. Arce contacted only women she knew personally through her years in curling, including two Canadians: Melanie Robillard of Ottawa and Lynsay Ryan of Kelowna, B.C., the daughter of two-time world champion skip and 2006 Olympic hopeful Pat Ryan.
Ryan, a 21-year-old student at Hamilton’s McMaster University, found herself in July posing in a see-through sarong in the forests of Fussen, Germany. “I sent him (her father) an e-mail,” Ryan said with a laugh. “I thought it might be better if he read about it and had time to think about it before he replied.”
Arce met Lynsay Ryan at a curling clinic in Germany and was surprised the Canadian agreed to be part of it. “I thought she was going to say no because being Canadian I know it’s more difficult,” she said. “I think things are different for European girls. “We are more open here — a little less shy I think. But she said yes and she just wanted to check the pictures and everything was okay.”
The 12 models represent curling teams from Denmark, Italy, Spain, England, Poland, Germany and Canada. “Some of the girls showed a little bit more, like breasts, because they wanted to,” Arce said of the black-and-white photos. “But it is very, very tasteful.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
