Magpul just released this video for their 2014 Calendar. The Calendar is definitely not your typical bikini model with a gun type of deal and I can get down with that. That’s not really saying much, as I am sure most of you know I’m a bit of fashion head. I am all for juxtaposition and there is plenty of it in this calendar.
For this year’s calendar we opened up the armory and hired best in the fashion industry to push the boundaries a bit of what is expected for a Magpul Calendar.
To be honest we weren’t too sure how it was going to turn out, but as the photo shoot progressed we started to realize that this calendar was something special.
The guns looked good and the girls looked great, but there was a sophistication to the photography that had broad appeal beyond the regular “girls with guns” calendars we had done in the past.
From a gritty warehouse shot is a shady part of town with the Ronin Motorcycle to an ultra modern house with backlit plastic walls, all the photographs were shot on location. No studio shots with added backgrounds were used in this Calendar.
Even the cover photo, our model, wearing a designer dress while holding a vintage 1921 Colt Thompson sub machine gun, actually walked down a closed off downtown Dallas street to get the shot.
The result is a calendar with some unexpected visual and artistic elements exhibiting the Magpul touch, presented in a package with broad appeal with timeless iconic photography.
Part Art, Part Calendar, All Magpul
2014 Magpul (12 Month) Calendar preorders will start shipping Nov 14, 2013
This year a portion of the proceeds from the calendar will go to the USMC Reconnaissance Foundation. The foundation provides assistance to wounded Reconnaissance Marines and Marine Reconnaissance families. Last year’s calendar raised over $20,000 for charity. We hope to far exceed that amount this year.
