London's internet entrepreneurs are to star in a naked calendar.
The Nude London Tech calendar aims to dispel the geek image of the capital's dotcom start-ups while raising money for charity.
It will feature 24 pictures of men and women and goes on sale online next month. It costs £10 and all proceeds will go to Take Heart, which sets up IT projects in India.
Milo Yiannopoulos, an English student at Cambridge who thought up the idea, said: "It's all going to be shot very tastefully, and sold online."
The 24 calendar models, chosen by online experts and a public vote, include Alicia Navarro, 32, the founder of online marketing firm Skimlinks. She said: "I think we can attract more girls into IT by showing we are a very fun bunch."

I think its a silly idea conjured up by an egotistical bunch who think they are cool or heck good looking enough that others will want to pay 10 pounds to see them strip. Plus the people announced are nobodies! No way, keep your clothes on!

old hat. who cares ? and why give money to indian IT projects when the indian IT companies are stealing British IT jobs by undercutting them and doing shoddier work in india and whilst india can afford to fund a space programme yet no city in india can supply 24 hour running water.

How about we pay them not to produce the calendar?!
Remind me why we are sending charity monies to India, a country who are spending billions on a nuclear programme and a space programme?

Didn't they do this recently in an episode of 'My Name is Earl'? (I think.)
