No nudity, but perhaps caution is advised at work. [Slideshow: X-Ray pinup girls](http://www.wired.com/rawfile/2010/09/x-ray-pin-up-girls-are-just-pixels/?pid=170) Now I’ve seen it all. 🙂 I don’t plan to rush out for the calendar. It is interesting to see how the skeleton flexes in different poses. The last pic shows the metatarsals inside the stiletto shoe. No wonder ladies have foot problems. ---

I’ve wondered how they took these x-rays. Usually an x-ray is lying on a table and only a small area is shown. I’ve had chest x-rays sitting up but even then its just the lungs that are shown. I wonder how they got these large, full body shots? ---

Wow, it’s like the exact opposite of what I’d like to see. Give me some pinups without any noticeable bones at all, like ribcages or knuckles or the dreaded tailbone. In other words, one bone is enough… ---

Nope. I was too busy with the slideshow. 😛 Now that I have, what a let down. As I said in the OP, seeing how the skeleton moved in different body positions was what made the pics interesting. :dubious: Guess we’ll never know now. Radiologists always make you lie flat or sit up straight. Never in positions like people assume modeling. > [@Lobot](#): > > Did you read the article? ---

There was an X-rated version of this concept some time about ten years ago. I can’t remember the artist, but it included x-rays of fellatio and things like that.
