You could call it "raw" steel.
From the blogosphere comes news—and some spicy show-and-tell to boot—that a Belarusian iron and steel mill has published and is distributing what’s bound to be a collectors’ item in the form of a wall calendar featuring its most curvaceous female employees sans hardhat and almost everything else.
Inner Circle does not speak Belarusian so is at a loss to differentiate between Miss January and Miss December. And since we haven’t seen the calendar up close and personal, Inner Circle can’t vouch for its authenticity, the blogger who got his hands on it, or even what format the calendar is in, electronic or print.
But we do recognize many of the product and mill processing shots strategically placed here, there, and everywhere across the 12 months of the year and the employees/models said to be serving the days of the year up to the mill’s customers and suppliers. Images of finished bar, rebar and pipe and tube are carefully interspersed with artsy overlays of molten steel pouring into a ladle, just-cast blooms and billets and tons of sparks and glow.
