The Telegraph has more of the images from the 2010 Pirelli calendar shot by Terry Richardson up online today. And they’ve also thrown in a few from years past which got us reminiscing.

There’s a gorgeous Avedon shot of Honor Fraser and a Peter Lindbergh of Jaime King from 2002 that I just love.

But the one that really caught my eye was this Herb Ritts photograph of Laetitia Casta in full pin-up mode. It made me miss Herb Ritts and wish that he was still around making beautiful people look even more beautiful.

We highly suggest heading over to his website (kept up by his foundation) and taking a walk down memory lane. You know, in case you’re looking for something other than actual work to get you through this Friday afternoon.

The 2008 Pirelli Calendar is officially out, and it’s packed with the new mega models of the year.

If you can actually get your hands on one (they can’t be bought and are received only as a gift,) feast your eyes on: Catherine McNeil (costumed as a geisha,) Doutzen, Gemma, Du Juan, Lily Donaldson, Agyness, Coco, Sasha, Caroline Trentini, Mo Wan Dan and actress Maggie Cheung.

The girls can be seen gallivanting around the streets of Shanghai, through the lens of Patrick Demarchelier (this is his second Pirelli.)

Previous Pirelli fixations include such heavyweights as Kate, Cindy, Naomi, Laetitia Casta and Sofia Loren,

Nevermind how a rubber company came to be the producer of such a prestigious annual collection - does this mean that the photographed girls are officially more than just blips on the radar?
