where it's due
"Six whiskey-swilling, ceegar-smoking female poker players and their male valet adorn the cover of the 2004 Nude Cariboo History Calendar. The photo is a spoof of one taken around 1900 in Barkerville, the heart of B.C.'s 1860s gold rush. The poses are the same, and like the original, one person is visibly cheating. But there are three significant differences: the players are all female, they're playing for brownies and toonies instead of dollars and gold dust, and they're naked."
