Naughty but nice: Cork strips for a good cause

NAUGHTY in the name of good, the latest nude calendar to hit the market is a fresh take on the advice to grin and bear it.

Beaming and baring it all for a great cause are 56 volunteers from various parts of Cork who willingly posed in the buff to help raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients.

Musicians, welders, bikers, Brown Thomas – none could resist the persuasive powers of Caroline O’Leary, mother of two little boys, Cian, 8, and Arron, 6, who have CF. Caroline, who for the past four years organised the 65 Roses CF fundraising ball, decided 2011 needed something new and she came up with the idea for the risque calendar.
