The first shots of the Pirelli 2012 calendar have been revealed, featuring a very undressed Kate Moss.
Since its introduction in 1964, the Pirelli calendar has become an iconic bastion of acceptable artistic annual nakedness, and has in years past featured some of the biggest names in modeling and acting, each taking their clothes off in the name of tyres.
This year's exposed draw is none other than Kate Moss, featured in the preview gallery below. The girl above is Lithuanian model Edita Vilkeviciute, who by the look of things has eaten a bad kebab.
Clearly, though, not many kebabs are eaten in a day between these models - ironically, there's not a single spare tyre among them.
This is the 39th issue of the Pirelli calendar (production was stopped for a while in the '70s) and while we're not sure what it has to with tyres or the automobile industry, we're sure you'd rather Pirelli was taking these pictures for its calendar than ones of its product lineup..."ooh, look at July - that's a 16-inch radial, that is."
The pictures were all taken by Italian snapper Mario Sorrenti on a beach in Corsica...you stopped reading this after the first sentence, didn't you?
