Skin Lists

Popular culture of 1979 was post-hippie, but not quite yuppie; post-disco, but not quite New Wave; and post-Star-Wars, but not quite completely infantilized by Steven Spielberg.

At local theaters (which were not quite all multiplexes—yet), Hollywood continued to present movies for adults: mature stories for grown-up people featuring adult themes, adult story lines, and that most quintessentially adult artistic flourish—nudity.

With home video still a few years in the future, grindhouses and drive-ins surged toward a crescendo, showcasing an explosion of exploitation that was also patently adult but not, to be sure, mature.

Let’s look now at some of our favorite nude scenes from 1979—eleven, in total, in honor of the rating Dudley Moore actually awards to Bo Derek in the movie 10.

Movies based on teen novels about celibate vampires doesn't really sound like they're up Mr. Skin's alley. And to be sure, the Twilight saga has been disappointing when it comes to nudity, barely giving us anything substantial to sink our teeth into.

But that doesn't take away from the fact that these flicks feature an eye-popping ensemble cast of some of the sexiest young stars out there right now, from the tough-girl sex appeal of Kristen Stewart to broodingly hot Nikki Reed to Ashley Greene, nude picture-taker!

New Moon opens tomorrow, so click "more", and give fangs to the vampy babes of Twilight!

A weekly look back at past celeb nudity happenings of note, ranging from the earliest days of famous females to today’s hottest starlets.

Get the in-depth facts and figures on skincredible events that have happened throughout skintertainment history during the week of November 15th through November 21st.

The week’s lesson in lusty cultural high points includes Angelina Jolie getting nakedly animated in Beowulf, Megan Fox leaking her hottest photos ever online, master of all things massive mammary Russ Meyer busting out Mondo Topless, skintastic filmmaker Robert Altman passing on, the rescue and restoration of the lost Australian sexploitation classics Fantasm and Fantasm Comes Again, and the publication of Fanny Hill, the erotic novel that shocked the world and still keeps readers coming.

It's unseasonably warm here at the Skin Central offices in Chicago. So what better way to celebrate Indian Summer than with a list of gorgeous actresses who have Native American ancestry?

Cher proclaimed herself a "Half Breed" and Sacheen Littlefeather made headlines at the 1973 Academy Awards, but you might be surprised at "how" many big names have native blood!

Phoebe Cates’s other great ’80s teen sex comedy also

features Saw babe Betsy Russell, scream queen Brinke Stevens, and loads of sexy surprises.

If summertime 1982 served as cherry-popping Ground Zero for the decade’s teen sex comedy phenomenon—and seeing as it contained the premieres of Porky's, The Last American Virgin, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, it did—then the subsequent swelter season’s Private School (1983) was the first direct fallout. And what a gloriously radiant after-effect it is.

To be sure, a spate of raunchy teen farces did rush into theaters during the ’82-’83 school year—among them: The Beach Girls, Homework, Joysticks, Losin’ It, Goin’ All the Way, My Tutor, Pink Motel, Spring Break, (the mighty) Screwballs, and (the also mighty) Zapped!

But Private School represented Hollywood’s first full-scale attempt to concoct an all-out teen sex comedy blockbuster, calculatedly combining familiar genre tropes (nerds, jocks, nudity-producing pranks, cross-dressing one’s way into the girls’ shower room, etc.), and then adding Phoebe Cates—the naked girl from Fast Times—up on top like a beautiful, brown-nippled bow.

1969 stands as the year that pop culture evolved from the mass grooviness of Woodstock and the far-out giant leap of the moon landing to the horror of the Manson Family murders and the Hells Angels stomping out flower power at Altamont.

It was also the year that Hollywood erupted with new creative freedom, emboldened by expanding societal mores and the new MPAA rating system.

Filmmakers could now dip into the palette of patently adult material, including coarse language, unflinching violence, and, most importantly, sex and nudity.

Let’s trip on back to 1969 and dig nine classic nude scenes from that headiest of daze gone by.

1. EASY RIDER

Easy Rider is indisputably one of the hippie era’s ultimate artistic statements. Toni Basil’s “Hey Mickey!” video is one of the most indelible media images of the 1980s. How interesting that one cultural touchstone unwittingly begat another. On acid. Naked.

The apocalyptic futuristic thriller 2012 opens in theaters this weekend. Although it's one of the most anticipated movies of the fall season, it's definitely not one of the most skinticipated. For all 2012 includes in action, it lacks even the slightest sliver of skin.

It took a while to get over our disappointment, but when we did, we realized that we could see 2012 star Amanda Peet nude in a number of roles, so we created a top 10 list of the sexiest roles of the very sweet Peet's carnal career, from her first hot appearance in 1998's Origin of the Species, to the unforgettable "topless with a gun" scene from The Whole Nine Yards.

2012 might be a nudity bust, but let's sit back, click "more", and and enjoy all the other opportunities we have to enjoy Amanda Peet's bust.

This week's lesson in Skinstory includes Lindsay Lohan coming out as a lady-loving bisexual, Paris Hilton helping the women of the world smell sexier, Marisa Ryan of the sitcom Major Dad growing up naked and girl-girl loving it, Linda Lovelace landing on everyone’s lips upon the debut of Deep Throat, scream queen Linnea Quigley making it so Santa Claus isn’t the only one coming in Silent Night, Deadly Night, and Zora Kerova adding hot flesh to all the blood in the grindhouse great Cannibal Ferox.
