tire maker is being issued for the forty sixth time it gained cult status back in the one nine hundred ninety s. as the cow featuring many top models showing lots of skin shot by some of the world's best known photographers. the calendar has evolved since that now it features more artistic images that emphasize the model's strong personalities. watson also dislike the idea of a pin up calendar though the images exude their own eroticism he clarified any questions well in advance of shooting. for me the way i'm handling that is i simply ask the woman. before the draft in the nude yes or no hole there she says no it's the end of the discussion. young american actress julia garner is best known

and dale with a special parachute and skiing down pristine slopes at more than one hundred kilometers an hour this is speed writing a combination of paragliding and skiing for swiss extreme athlete and multiple world champion only cation holds it's the perfect sport if you go to the feeling you get speed riding is incredible because of the combination you can ski off a cliff and suddenly you're in the air flying and below you can see the next slope so you swoop in and your back to skiing on the sympathy of them see fall. all you need is a pair of skis and an eight to ten square meter waiting to go off piste. to cora to help steer the wing into the air and back onto the snow. only has been doing this for ten years three or four times a week. after

of its first pioneers. there as snowboarders as a snowboarder free riding on open terrain was always a big thing for me when i went to my final olympic competition in two thousand and six i wanted to concentrate on free riding from then on to writing cause but then i saw the first images of speed riding and i knew this is my saying. in two thousand and seven and two thousand and eight only cashed in host made a movie about speed writing his film play gravity shows the first speed writing descends down the three swiss peaks mench and since then willie has also specialized in producing sports movies. but mr i'm not very good at not doing things if i see something i'd like to do i need to try it. speed writing is expensive but he highly recommends not scrimping

performance artist ziman fettle specializes in interaction. and that's a nice spot yeah thank you i'm waiting for someone to help me up. but will need anyone help. when interviewing zero on the recorder and crew have to be ready for anything like being pressed into serving as counterweights well the artist perches on a plank above for granted. in my now i've been to the top that i don't miss and in my work the observers become a part of the work up and they have to participate if i'm going to be able to create works like this and to itself so if you were to get up one i'd fall and your actions would have consequences for my performance. but as i think i did in time people can always bring my work down to it if they want to linger on the.
