Summer Girls

When pondering what goes down-and comes off-twixt June and September, let us turn (as one ought to do often) to the wisdom of hippie skiffle masters Mungo Jerry. As they put it:

"In the summertime when the weather's high,
You can stretch right up and touch the sky,
When the weather's fine,
You got women, you got women on your mind.
Have a drink, have a drive,
Go out and see what you can find."

From there, the creatively bearded pickers-and-grinners add: "If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal / If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel."

Make what you will of that advice or, better still, just relax in your favorite cooled-by-refrigeration chamber and allow Mr. Skin to skintroduce you to a series of sweltering starlets so sweat-inducing that "summer" is actually part of their names.

SUMMER ALTICE
NUDE IN: Pretty Cool (2001) (Picture: 1), Chromiumblue.com (2003) (Picture: 1)
THE SUMMER SKINNY: Supermodel, volleyball star, and arm candy of both Fred Durst and Vin Diesel-is there nothing that tall-drink-of-hotness Summer Altice can't do? The five-foot-ten Valkyrie has illuminated everything from top-selling magazine covers to high-fashion catwalks to countless beach-volleyball courts where her swimsuit must have had onlookers spiking themselves. She's also exhibited her flawless, naked physique in the films Pretty Cool and Chromiumblue.com.

SUMMER CUMMINGS
NUDE IN: Boogie Nights (1997) (Picture: 1)
THE SUMMER SKINNY: Despite her anything-but-natural breast enhancements, mongo-mammaried hardcore star Summer Cummings proved to be very much a natural for the flesh-drenched '70s pornapalooza Boogie Nightsp-where she plays a mongo-mammaried hardcore star. See Summer in Boogie action with her (then) real-life lesbian girlfriend, Skye Blue.

SUMMER FIELDS
NUDE IN: Scandalous Sex (2004) (Picture: 1), Forbidden Temptations (2006) (Picture: 1)
THE SUMMER SKINNY: Bouncy-knobbed blonde treat Summer Fields is as lush and inviting as her name. This softcore starlet doesn't work enough as far as Mr. Skin is concerned, but until more casting agents ring her bell, we can always repeatedly dive into her temptingly titled breast efforts to date: Scandalous Sex and Forbidden Temptations.

SUMMER KNIGHT
NUDE IN: Femalien II (1998) (Picture: 1)
THE SUMMER SKINNY: What could be as lovely and arousing as a summer night? Why, auburn-headed knockout Summer Knight of course! Beam up the sci-fi sex fave Femalien II for an entrancing invasion of Summer bedding a dude and then doing it up Sappho-style with blondie Bethany Lorraine on stage at a strip joint. There's lots of labia to lay your eyes on!

SUMMER MAKOVKIN
NUDE IN: Pep Squad (1998) (Picture: 1)
THE SUMMER SKINNY: The pitch-black teen farce Pep Squad centers on the accidental execution of a high-school principal. Between gruesome laughs, milky-skinned alterna-beauty Summer Makovkin turns up (and on) in a pair of topless scenes (including one where she is most erotically tattooed) that will pep your squad.

SUMMER PHOENIX
NUDE IN: Esther Kahn (2000) (Picture: 1), The Believer (2001) (Picture: 1), Suzie Gold (2004) (Picture: 1)
THE SUMMER SKINNY: The sister of Joaquin and the late River, Summer Phoenix brings the same level of artistic commitment as her siblings to her every performance. When a character's soul is laid bare, Summer communicates it by exposing her sumptuous body as well. Dig her full-frontal breakthrough in Esther Kahn, then marvel at the deliciously pointy buoyancy of her boobs in The Believer, and, finally, plunge yourself into her backdoor gold in Suzie Gold.

SUMMER SMITH
NUDE IN: Sideline Secrets (2004) (Picture: 1)
THE SUMMER SKINNY: Naturally huge-bosomed, tattoo-bellied siren Summer Smith does not keep her intoxicating allure under wraps in the charming coming-of-age drama Sideline Secrets. Get a double load of Summer's fantastically abundant frontline as she steps out of a shower and bares her boppers for her female roommate and an appreciative fella.

CYNDEE SUMMERS
NUDE IN: Teenage Bride (1970) (Picture: 1), Frankie and Johnnie … Were Lovers (1975) (Picture: 1)
THE SUMMER SKINNY: When the VCR hit huge in the 1980s, Cyndee Summers settled down as a triple-X video vixen. Prior to that, though, scrumptiously fluffy-funbagged Cyndee was a softcore sexploitation staple. She brought bold erotic life to good-and-dirty grindhouse gems such as Teenage Bride and Frankie and Johnnie … Were Lovers, both of which have been immortalized on DVD by Something Weird Video. Although when it comes to getting hot for Cyndee Summers, there's nothing weird about that!

DAKOTA SUMMERS
NUDE IN: Satanic Yuppies (1996) (Picture: 1)
THE SUMMER SKINNY: The scary satire Satanic Yuppies is as fully loaded with naked movie starlets as the BMWs of the titular conspicuous consumers. Humongous-hootered Dakota Summers is a standout-even though she's lying down when we see her. She's topless and tied up with her monstrous melons wobbling to and fro while she's being menaced by a madman so lost to insanity that he's not just feasting on Summer's super-sized sweater balloons.

KELLI SUMMERS
NUDE IN: Vampire Queen (2002) (Picture: 1), Satan's School for Lust (2002) (Picture: 1), Lord of the G-Strings: The Femaleship of the String (2002) (Picture: 1), That 70's Girl (2003) (Picture: 1), Sexual Confessions (2003) (Picture: 1), Busty Cops (2003) (Picture: 1)
THE SUMMER SKINNY: Among the numerous gifts granted unto humanity by the Garden State, Seduction Cinema-New Jersey's own softcore super-studio-ranks among the most worthy of adulation. Beyond signature sexbomb Misty Mundae (Picture: 1), Seduction Cinema's stable includes favorites such as Darian Caine (Picture: 1), Ruby Larocca (Picture: 1), and A.J. Khan. Add to that lustful list, as well, Kelli Summers, who debuted during a lesbian bang with Darian in Vampire Queen and then went on to a quick-but-prolific Seduction output in which she bared every inch of her bodacious body and participated in all manner of carnal interactions-with women, men, and various combinations of each.

TARA SUMMERS
NUDE IN: Factory Girl (2006) (Picture: 1)
THE SUMMER SKINNY: The Edie Sedgwick biopic Factory Girl features outstanding unclothed scenes involving star Sienna Miller (Picture: 1), but that doesn't belittle the brazenly bare efforts of top-heavy Tara Summers in the '60s-set film. As Andy Warhol's trust-funded compatriot Brigid Polk, Tara takes out her titanic ta-tas while talking up an art project. Alas, nothing crafted by human hands can touch the sumptuousness of the objects that naturally emerge from Tara's tossed-off shirt.

KRYSTAL SUMMERS
NUDE IN: Voyeur Beach (2002) (Picture: 1)
THE SUMMER SKINNY: Tanned, toned, and tremendous in the chest, Krystal Summers boasts exactly the sort of naked body one hopes for when cruising cable channels late at night in search of softcore kicks. Voyeur Beach is one such title, and it showcases Krystal remarkably topless in a sex scene that is really something for which to keep your eyes (and zipper) peeled.

. . . and one "near Summer" who's a vintage Mr. Skin favorite:
ELKE SOMMER
NUDE IN: Daniella by Night (1961) (Picture: 1), The Wicked Dreams of Paula Schultz (1968) (Picture: 1), Einer von uns beiden (1973) (Picture: 1), The House of Exorcism (1975) (Picture: 1)
THE SUMMER SKINNY: Ferociously arousing fr?ein Elke Sommer may not spell her name the same way we do the year's middle season, but she's every bit as blazing, ripe, and full of naked life. Elke scored skinternational star status via the worldwide hit Sweet Violence-and that was without taking off her clothes! From there she became one of the most reliably nude figures in the movies, as well as an in-demand presence on talk shows, variety hours, magazine spreads, and any and all other media catering to those who appreciate incandescent beauty throughout the 1960s and '70s. Elke remains one of the 20th century's most skintastic sex sirens. Long may she reign!
