Newcastle University "Ladies of Leisure"

As an attacking batsman of the highest calibre her dad was the scourge of bowlers worldwide.

Now the daughter of England cricket legend Allan Lamb is hitting people for six in a cheeky charity calendar.

Katie-Ann Lamb, 21, and her lovely maidens - all student pals at Newcastle University - are pushing back the boundaries by baring all to raise funds for breast cancer after friends and relatives were hit by the disease.

Garrison Girls

A TROOP of Army wives has mobilised to strip off and raise money for hero soldiers.

The women — aged from 23 to 39 — have posed naked with a bit of their husbands’ military gear for a 2009 calendar titled Garrison Girls.

Organiser Sarah Bennett Thurston told The Sun: “Our aim is to raise £64,000. We couldn’t do that with cake sales or raffles.”

Downe Women's Institute

A group of Women's Institute members have posed almost naked as animals wearing little more than body paint for a fund-raising calendar.

The group of grandmothers had their bodies painted in the theme of pantomime characters for their annual charity project.

The women, who are from Downe WI, near Bromley, in Kent, have stripped off for the past two years but decided to enlist the help of professional artists to make this year's pictures better.

Read about it in the Telegraph. I haven't found a way to order it.

Pretty in Mink

Following in the tradition of past calendars from the Luce Policy Institute, Pretty in Mink celebrates smart, conservative women role models ... with flair.

We took some of your favorite leaders of today’s conservative movement on a journey back in time, and made them up into glamorous movie stars of classic Hollywood. Back when the big screen was a little more glamorous, women were a little more feminine, the men a little more charming—and the world a little less politically correct.

Read about it at any number of places, if you enjoy hateful partisan piling-on. Fark, Gawker and Politico: Shenanigans, for instance. You can see all the images at Facebook. Buy it from the Clare Booth Luce Policy Institute.

Chubby Mikey

A man from the United States, who weighs 38 stone [532 lb] and calls himself Chubby Mikey, has posed for a naked calendar.

The 29-year-old has his own website where he appears in nude and semi-nude positions and he's even posed for these pics to become a calendar boy.

"I feel sexy and attractive so that's the way I act," said Mikey, from Memphis, in the US.

Read about it in the Telegraph: Buy it at ChubbyMikey.com -- maybe. The article says "I actually had to refund orders because my supplies were depleted", but I don't know if that means he's actually sold out.

Sixty 5 Roses

Becky Whitfield joined forces with friends and family to produce a naked calendar to raise vital funds for research into Cystic Fibrosis.

The 21-year-old vowed to find a cure for her little girl, Elle Morris, after she was diagnosed with the potentially fatal disease last year.

Stocksmoor Women's Institute

Ten members of Stocksmoor WI posed in their birthday suits for the charity calendar, which is now on sale.

Shots of the women discreetly posing nude behind a bar, pegging out the washing and in the bath appear in the calendar.

The calendar will raise money for two charities in memory of relatives of WI members.

The calendar is on sale at the customer service counter at Sainsbury’s Shore Head store and at the Asda supermarket on Bradford Road, Huddersfield.
