"I'm going to have to get a copy and put it up on the wall of the locker room in Halifax,'' says Randy Ferbey of gearing his old Edmonton teammate Ryan at the December Olympic Trials.

Ryan's daughter got naked between the sheets to help promote women's curling. Well, not literally. Naked, yes. But she wasn't photographed between Sheet A and Sheet B of a curling rink. She was actually shot in a forest near Fussen, Germany where she was at a curling clinic.

Ryan's daughter, while she did come close to winning a provincial berth in junior curling, is not exactly a high-profile women's curler. But neither are any of the others.

Former Ottawa resident Melanie Robillard is the only other Canadian on the calendar, which is Ana Arce's Andorran team sponsorship project. Arce is skip, photographer and one of the models. Other models are curlers from Denmark, Italy, Spain, England, Poland and Germany.

One of the curling calendar girls is Austria's Claudia Toth, who said yes to the calendar after she said no to the German edition of Playboy. She's the calendar cover girl.

Jones, you may remember, said: "the women are going to have to curl naked to get people out'' when they separated men's and women's Worlds into separate events.

"No! I'm 46 years old for Pete's sake. I don't think they want to see my body in any calendar,'' is her response to my calendar girl call.

Naked athletes on calendars to raise money is a relatively recent phenomenon. But curlers? See the glory of what can happen when you become an Olympic sport?

"Women in this sport are wonderful,'' says the skip who recently won $52,000 in a skins game (an entirely different deal) against Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg.

JENN HANNA: "No, I wouldn't do it, no matter what the cause. I guess I'm too shy for that and the word shy is not a word I use to describe myself normally. It would take a lot of courage to do something like that."
