Miranda Kerr naked photos cause web sensation

June 21st, 2009

JUST weeks after model Miranda Kerr stripped bare to ameliorate the plight of koalas, she has again appeared nude. And this time there’s no native fauna nearby.
The 26-year-old proved she can definitely leave her hat on, with a series of photographs from next year’s Pirelli Calendar becoming an instant Internet sensation.
The photographs were lifted from the latest edition of Italian Vanity Fair magazine, the Sunday Telegraph reports.
They document the making of the provocative 2010 calendar. There is also an accompanying video.
Kerr stars alongside fellow Australian models Abbey Lee Kershaw and Catherine McNeil in the shoot.
While much was made of Kerr’s nude Rolling Stone cover a fortnight ago, most of her modesty was strategically covered.
But not here.
While bare breasts are a staple of the sought-after calendar, the picture of McNeil is highly suggestive. The 20-year-old is photographed pouring milk over her breasts and body.
The 2010 calendar’s photographer, American Terry Richardson, has a dubious reputation for his overtly sexual work, often with teenagers.
Kathy Ward, of Chic Management – the trio’s Australian agency – said the shoot took place in Brazil two months ago. Ward said she was surprised the behind-the-scenes photographs had become such a sensation.
She said she had not spoken to the girls since they did the shoot.
“They’ve all been so busy overseas we haven’t really chatted but, from what I’ve heard, I believe the shoot went well,” she said.
“It’s interesting that the photos have come out.
“Usually there’s such tight security surrounding Pirelli that no images are revealed before the launch of the calendar.”
More photos from the shoot are expected to be released in November, prior to the calendar’s release.
The Pirelli Calendar is not for sale but is given as a corporate gift to a limited number of customers, clients and celebrities.
