Russia’s Expobank recently released a calendar featuring its femail employees in scantily clad lingerie, leaving little to the imagination. The awesome thing is that these women are absolutely gorgeous. Why are they working in banks? They could definitely be doing some lucrative modeling work.

And this culture of getting office women to pose in revealing attire. I do like because I enjoy seeing beautiful women, especially those comfortable with themselves. It’s a little different from getting professional models to do up adverts. Sexist? Nah…. it doesn’t feel that way to me.

The women, aged between 20 and 33, peeled off to reveal an unexpected side to the world of commerce, with their pictures accompanied by provocative slogans doubling as advertising messages.

 

The models include the bank’s chief economist for super-rich VIP clients, Anna Pogodina (Miss March), and her boss, Julia Kovyneva (Miss April), who is sprawled across a bed. Senior manager Maria Guterman begins the year with her modesty protected by only a tray of cakes. (source)

The New York Times has a fascinating story about Japan’s Lost and Found culture… apparently small lost and found centers exist all over Japan which allow citizens to return things they found on the street to the recipient. It’s interesting because $23 million in cash was returned to a lost and found center in 2002. Talk about about a civics lesson.

Anywhere else perhaps, a shiny cellphone fallen on the backseat of a taxi, a nondescript umbrella left leaning against a subway door, a wad of cash dropped on a sidewalk, would be lost forever, the owners resigned to the vicissitudes of big city life. But here in Tokyo, with 8 million people in the city and 33 million in the metropolitan area, these items and thousands more would probably find their way to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Lost and Found Center. In a four-story warehouse, hundreds of thousands of lost objects are meticulously catalogued according to the date and location of discovery, and the information put in a database.
