= Subject and Contents

In 2004, the [[Hermes Portal]] [[fanzine]] published a special and highly unofficial "swimsuit calendar" featuring illustrations of semi-nude or scantily-clad [[magus | magae]].  

Accompanying each month is an illustration of a maga and some amusing text, including a short story about [[Belin]] the [[redcap]].  Sprinkled throughout the calendar are fictitious holidays such as "Apprentice's Day."

The Hermes' Portal "swimsuit calendar" is an unofficial parody. It can be obtained from the Hermes' Portal [[http://pagesperso-orange.fr/styren/hermesportal/hermes1.htm | download page]].

== Explanation of the Parody ==

Non-U.S. residents may be wondering why this is calendar is often referred to as the "Ars Magica Swimsuit Caledar."  That's what the publisher called it at the time: the name an allusion to the real-world annual calendar published by American magazine [[http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/ | Sports Illustrated]].  ''Sports Illustrated'' is famous for its annual "Swimsuit Edition" which is nominally about women's swimwear but is actually a transparent ploy to boost sales by devoting an entire issue to pictures of scantily-clad women.  A calendar of such photos is typically offered as a bonus accompanying a new or renewed ''Sports Illustrated'' subscription.

The connection to [[Hermes Portal]] and its subscription rates is left to the imagination of the audience.
