On Friday, November 18th, well over two hundred professional and amateur billiards players, celebrity VIP's, New York City media, and fans gathered at Union Square's upscale billiards club, Amsterdam Billiards to celebrate the release of the Rack Starz 2012-2013 Limited Edition Collector Series 18-month Calendar. Since its inception, the calendar has not only been a great success here in the United States, but has hit international waters making it a world-wide victory.
"As my first time being involved with a professional calendar production, I was honored to work with such a creative and talented team... the final product does a beautiful job of showcasing each player's unique personality in a stylish & cutting-edge way," says Alison Fisher. "It was an unbelievable experience to work with Photographer Larry Busacca. He makes such a connection with you while shooting; you almost forget you are standing half naked in a room full of people", confirmed Liz Ford.
The Rack Starz ladies not only launched a very successful calendar, but had a lot of fun behind the scenes while doing so. "Throughout my entire shoot, my shoes were taped to the floor so that I would stay inside the frame. It was difficult trying to pose, but I still managed to work some nice photos", states Yomaylin Feliz. "I don't know how, but Larry pulled a very different side out of me every time I stepped onto that shooting canvas. There were things said and done there that should never be repeated ever!" declared Supadra Geronimo, laughing.
This glossy full-color calendar measures a serious 12" wide by 17" high and was shot completely in New York City in the summer of 2010. Not only does the calendar showcase each lady's individual rock star style, but also includes six bonus months to help ring in 2013. With only 3,000 calendars in circulation, this limited-edition collector series calendar is on its way to being a sold out sensation. If you are one of the lucky 3,000, visit their web site or Facebook page to find out where the Rack Starz will be next to personally autograph your calendar!
