Royal Opera House Naked Calendar

Thought this was a gen you shouldn't miss: The Royal Opera House is selling a nude calendar this year, in support of Macmillan Cancer Support. The calendar includes a variety of Opera House faces, from the ballet shoe mistress, to a ballet dancer, to the harpist, to a group a male dancers from Carmen. It seems like fun and the pics are beautiful!

The real question is: how long can nude charity calendars keep making money? That Calendar Girls movie was about the first set of women to pull off this idea (in 1999!) and the trend is still running 9 years later. Everyone loves a nude calendar, I guess, but where is the line for an organization? Does it compromise anything in regards to the organization? Does it alienate conservative audiences? I don't know! But I'm sure this one will sell out for sure!
