Hot Mormon moms pose for calendar

RNS BYU CALENDARTwelve Mormon moms are putting modesty aside and becoming calendar girls — all in the name of raising breast cancer research dollars.

“Hot Mormon Muffins” features the “Devout Dozen” — moms touting recipes alongside revealing outfits and suggestive poses. The calendars cost $15.99.

As expected, the calendar has raised concern in the Mormon community.

Tami Roberts is “Miss May” and says she sees no reason for her church to be upset.

“We’re not all in a stereotype, we’re not all the same. And I’m not a stereotypical Mormon for sure,” Roberts said.

For the record, her husband and two daughters approve.

The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is not commenting.
Chad Hardy, the calendar’s creator, was denied a diploma from Brigham Young University and stripped of his church membership when he developed a 2008 calendar called “Men on a Mission” that featured partially-nude Mormon men.
