Dark and Dreadful Calendars

Jennifer Aniston's Manic-Depressive 2009 Calendar

Well, Jennifer Aniston’s calendar is out and, as is the nature of most calendars--celebrity or not--some images are more interesting and exciting than others.

My favorite image is the lead photo in the gallery with its dark and dreadful setting. In that picture, a barefoot Aniston sits on a black chair with her legs wide open while she works some serious cleavage.

To continue with the look of utter despair and desolation, a glass was placed on the table with what appears to be alcohol.

This dark setting is in total contrast to the happy-go-lucky, girly-girl look of Aniston in the third image. Indeed, the calendar as a whole is a mess of disjointed photos.

Do you think she’ll send Angelina Jolie an autographed copy?
