Besides the Calvin Klein live perfume ad, there's some interesting action in Times Square today: FDNY firefighters will be at Duffy Square (the TKTS island) between 11AM-3PM autographing copies of the new 2006 Calendar of Heroes! There are apparently some firefighter models in their 40s in the calendar (hey, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, and Brad Pitt are all in their 40s) for the calendar to have a broader appeal. Sigh, we guess we'll get one of these for our mom. Gothamist wonders if the Naked Cowboy will be upset that the Bravest are invading his turf?

You can also order a calendar at the Fire Zone (we're not sure if standing is allowed) - proceeds go to the FDNY Fire Safety Education Fund. And Gothamist on the 2004 and 2005 calendars.
