Pinups for Vets

It's amazing that showing a little skin for a good cause is readily accepted in American society. Consider the case of pretty Gina Elise who has been called a "role model for this nation's youth" by stripping down to raise money for wounded Iraq War veterans. This is just one in a long line of fundraising calendars that have run rampant since the original Calendar Girls stripped down to raise money for charity. Oddly enough, I don't know of any nudist groups that have sponsored fundraising calendars, it's usually elderly women's garden clubs or funeral directors taking it off for a good cause. So remember: naked for charity - great; naked for money - super; naked for art - questionable; and naked for fun - taboo.

Tip of the hat to Wonkette.
