GIRL power is taking over Evesham's Port Street as female business owners go it alone.

To celebrate everything the busy street has to offer the 'Port Street babes' dropped not their prices but their clothes for a calendar girls inspired photo shoot.

The result was a calendar showcasing the talents of the 12 women, which will be on offer to order from next week.

Kim Dunn, from Bonk, was the brains behind the calendar and the first to get her clothes off to become Miss April.

She said: "It's been a right laugh and really brought the girls closer together. It was scary doing the photo shoots, but worth it as the pictures are amazing. You must buy this calendar."

And Miss August, Lizzie Taylor Smith, of Vale Vintage Store, added: "I felt quite comfortable doing it. I just said I will go with the flow when Kim came up with the idea.

"The group photo was a great laugh. I am August because it's my birthday."

And Miss Taylor-Smith said trade at her shop, which opened in the Warehouse in Shor Street, off Port Street, earlier this year was picking up.

"It's still early days but it's picking up. But people are now getting to know that we are here."

The 2015 calendar, which will cost £10, is raising money for the Port Street regeneration fund.

To make sure they don't order too many it is all on a pre-order only basis, for a very limited time as it goes on sale from next week until the end of November.

The calendars, which were shot by Jj LoBue, Prospect Photography, and will be printed by Mike, Create Design & Print, will then be ready for collection mid December.

They will be on sale in the businesses belonging to the ladies taking part, who from left to right, are
