Page 3 - FAST 2026 Calendar Yearbook

Meet newest FastDates.com Calendar Kitten Sophie Francesconi
from the town of Massarosa in the Tuscany region of Italy. I first introduced
you to Sophie 2 years ago in the FAST 2024 Calendar Yearbook where she
served as my photo model companion and guide in Rome at the beginning
of my Edelweiss Motorcycle Tour “From Rome to Sicily” down eastern Italy.
For this year’s Calendars I invited Sophie to vacation and shoot with
me for 2 weeks in mid summer in Los Angeles. She had told me 2 years
earlier it was her dream to some day visit Los Angeles, in what would be her
first trip outside Italy and to fly on an airplane! I took her to all the famous
and my favorite unknown place around Southern California, and we even
joined a photo workshop with the top Guess models and glamor photographer
Josh Ryan at the famous Goldstein Residence in the Hollywood Hills.
I know you will enjoy Sophie’s Los Angeles adventure with us, and seeing
the pictures in the new 2026 Iron & Lace and Garage Girls Calendars.
