Despite being approved and signed-off by Dreamworks, it's been the subject on tv news magazine shows and radio shows and is getting very mixed responses. Lots of angry parents and disappointed SHREK fans seem to feel it places the lovable characters; Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Puss In boots, The Gingerbread man and Shrek triplets in inappropriate scenarios.<br /><br />In my opinion, the SHREK movies contain many adult references and have a very wry sense of humor meant for both young and old, the fashion editorial is in a magazine not read by children and is well-shot, composed and styled... all frankly, in good fun.<br /><br />So, if you can maintain your sense of humor, the following images will amuse you:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzIfPHG4its6h3zprw5Qu7a4WqbvierOD_YIaU5gttXTcQ-w-uDK8yCEHscqnOgFSRBPuJbbKKUZa3c3T_TA1Ei5h6tH2GBhxkQaw0JITiTWh2Jbc0oFAtkPlHLMli3wHrFgHuHOH3qEWS/s1600/960x587-1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511809578557749458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzIfPHG4its6h3zprw5Qu7a4WqbvierOD_YIaU5gttXTcQ-w-uDK8yCEHscqnOgFSRBPuJbbKKUZa3c3T_TA1Ei5h6tH2GBhxkQaw0JITiTWh2Jbc0oFAtkPlHLMli3wHrFgHuHOH3qEWS/s400/960x587-1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;

And it's no ordinary 'corporate calendar'. This is always a piece of stunning photographic art. Every year.<br /><br />They've used an impressive stable of photographers. Coincidentally, the past three years happen to have used three of my personal favorites; <a href="http://www.eugeniorecuenco.com/">Eugenio Recuenco</a>, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.erwinolaf.com">Erwin Olaf</a> and <a href="http://www.lavazza2006.com/default/calendar/lavazza2006/eng/files_log/homepage.jsp">Ellen Von Unwerth</a>, which is how I even discovered Lavazza and their calendars in the first place. The infamous <a href="http://www.lavazza.com/corporate/en/lavazzastyle/calendars/1993.html">Helmut Newton</a> shot the first calendar in 1993 for them. And well-known photographers <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.davidlachapelle.com">David LaChapelle</a> and <a href="http://www.albertwatson.net/">Albert Watson</a> have also shot the Lavazza calendar in the past.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUsFbWnLDOg-HNRz7YOv7zpqIypxpc69FyLEBc365en_fwiTTHWZ_u5cv3IakbgYaHTV3idoh10p8y8R5s4Jk6vFQeGq_vPfRxjv-RwAekgBYRVhrqLXlX66QCuZ6_9Rm1T7IhoEYSzYBT/s1600-h/Picture+44.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142928761075706930" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUsFbWnLDOg-HNRz7YOv7zpqIypxpc69FyLEBc365en_fwiTTHWZ_u5cv3IakbgYaHTV3idoh10p8y8R5s4Jk6vFQeGq_vPfRxjv-RwAekgBYRVhrqLXlX66QCuZ6_9Rm1T7IhoEYSzYBT/s400/Picture+44.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 532px; height: 351px;" /></a><br /><br />This year's calendar theme is "The Most Majestic Experience". Models posing as aristocratic regal "queens' amongst luxury and animals.
