Retirement: A new Pinup Calendar?

The Contilla Retirement Group in Essen, Germany decided on a novel idea for the new year that involved some of its residents.

The residents staged famous scenes from classic movies and created a calendar for 2014. They used professional stylists, photographers and reproductions of wardrobes to recreate the scenes.

The seniors, range in age from their 70s to the late 90s.

Several thousand copies of the calendar were printed for the residents, relatives and families.

Cabaret Martha Bajohr, 77 Titanic Erna Ruett, 86 and Alfred Kelbch, 81
Breakfast at Tiffany Marianne Brunsbach, 86 The Seven Year Itch Ingeburg Giolbass, 84, and Erich Endlein, 88
James Bond Wilhelm Buiting, 89 Giants Joanna Trachenberg, 81, Horst Krischat, 78
Rocky Erwin J. von der Heiden, 80 Easy Rider Walter Loeser (l), 98, Kurt Neuhaus, 90
Mary Poppins Erna Schenk, 78 Blues Brothers Margarete Schmidt (r), 77, Lothar Wischnewski 76
Dirty Dancing Johann Liedtke, 92, Marianne Pape, 79 Saturday Night Fever Irmgard Alt, 79, Siegfried Gallasch, 87
