Make mine a double espresso
Lavazza seems to have taken over the calendar market once owned by Pirelli.
What is it with those Italians and their sexy calendars?
The pics are by Annie Liebowitz and this one is, I think, an homage to the Capitoline She-Wolf.
Thing is, as much as I love the Lavazza calendar, I can't help wondering what women think of it.
Female coffee drinkers feel free to comment.
Photography lovers can click the pic for a much better look.

forgot to put my 2-cents in: actually think it's quite a good ad. probably for these reasons:
1. i know the she-wolf sculpture and understand the context to the history of rome (ie, italy being the cultural heart of coffee) and feeding the succubi through black gold.
2. i love love love coffee. so can relate to romulus and remus suckling on the very life of coffee.
3. the sexuality of this woman is more freud, less lummox than your regular 'check out the norks on that one'.. a little more complex.
I think this is the stupidest and best thing I have ever seen. let me explain.
The creep factors:
1. It creeps me out to see such a sexual provacative pose with BABIES in the shot.
2. The woman looks like Angelina Jolie. And that just annoys me.
3. one of the babies is looking at the coffee cup. Also wrong.
4. And one of those babies is eyeing her BOOB (or his next meal)
The good factors:
I have been typing and analyizing this Ad and that means on some level it did its job. Plus the photography is well- so good it looks photoshopped. Anne never fails to amaze.
