Naked Charity - nude fundraising calendars

A group of daredevil scholars agreed to pose for a saucy naked calendar to raise money for poverty-stricken third world countries.

These brainy undergraduates at Oxford University seem have to mislaid their gowns…and all the rest of their clothing.

Around 60 students took part in the calendar in aid of Oxford-based charity TravelAid.Comes in academic year 2009-2010 or calendar year 2010, £10.00 each. Buy it here. More information and photos from the Sun, the Daily Mail, Momento24, ABC News, SmasHits... Well, all over, actually. I mean, this is Oxford.

A three-for-one entry, as the same organization sponsors calendars featuring Rugby League, International, and Australian Rules players. Oops, make that four: There's also The Men of Cricket. All calendars benefit the McGrath Foundation to help women with breast cancer and their families.

KNITTING might have a sober image — but the Knitting Noras prove there is a surprising amount of fun to be had with a pair of needles.

The group’s members have been photographed in the act of “extreme knitting”, and now they are posing naked for a calendar to raise money for The Christie cancer trust. It's far too early in the process for purchase information, but read about it in the Bolton News, and at their Naked Knitting Calendar 2010 blog.

Sometimes life intervenes. I hope to return to regular posting here -- probably not daily, but at least three times a week. I've got some catching up to do, as there are still plenty of good-hearted naked people out there.
