Calendario Romano 2009 is here! Ladies and some gentlemen, there are twelve new reasons to start attending church once more. And recession isn't one of them. But here are my four...

Oh the smoldering eyes!

Back in 2007, Donatella Versace's  F/W 2007 collection was inspired by the Father “Gorgeous Georg” Gänswein, Pope Benedict’s personal secretary. And now, I just opened up a lovely present from Rome and...Lo and behold! The Vatican Poster Boy Calendar for 2009 by Piero Pazzi!

No, seriously. It's the Holy See-approved montage of some of the hottest men in collar and such. Just too bad that they are all seminarians/priests/committed to that silly thing called celibacy.

Avail here, for about 10 Euros or at the nearest confessional booth.

I don't even know what to say...Except...that...it's a...bit...unfair... and that I need to re-visit the Vatican.
