This publicity stunt eventually went on to tướng inspire a multitude of truyền thông media productions including a British comedy film, titled Calendar Girls[9] in 2003, a West End show in 2009, and a musical production in 2012, titled The Girls.[8] Tricia Stewart, one of the original calendar girls, also known as Miss October, even went on to tướng publish her own autobiography, Calendar Girl, in which she retells the initial creation of the publicity stunt and how it changed their lives forever.[8]
