STANFORD, Calif. -- More than a dozen freshmen at Stanford University are baring it all, or nearly all, to bring relief to victims of last month's Indian Ocean tsunami.
Fourteen residents at Stanford's Larkin Hall, a freshman dormitory, have posed for an eye-catching calendar to raise money for Save the Children as part of a campus effort to help survivors of the Dec. 26 tsunami that devastated southern Asia. All the calendar models are naked, but strategically photographed to keep key body parts hidden. Pam Geist, one of three Larkin students who created the calendar, appears topless in the April photo, but her long hair and a discreet camera angle keep her from revealing all. "You can't see anything," Geist said. "Everything is blocked." The students have already sold 70 copies of the calendar, whosetheme is "a day in the life" of a Larkin student, and hope to sell hundreds more when they begin a big sales push on campus next week. The calendars sell for $10 each, with half the money going to Save the Children. The idea came about when freshman Andrew Burmon, who grew up in the Boston area, described how Maine lobster fishermen would to supplement their incomes by posing nude for a calendar. Co-creators Burmon and Joel Lewenstein are the August models, with both holding cameras -- one with a telephoto lens -- in strategic places
