A group of Spanish mothers has joined what appears to be a frenzy of women making “strip calendars” to raise money in the austerity-strapped European country. The moms goal was to raise funds for a school bus for their kids. But cases of calendar stripping are widespread. Last year church authorities complained after a group of Roman Catholics stripped for a calendar recreating scenes from the Passion of Christ to raise money for a youth group. In the case of the Valencia mothers, reaction to the saucy financing has ranged from bemusement to anger. Many have questioned why the school bus had to be high-end tourist quality vehicle (See Video). Others have asked tartly: “Whatever happened to car pools”
