Geek Gorgeous calendar raises money for women in CS
Lilac Mohr, 26, of Denver, produced and modeled for the newly-launched "Geek Gorgeous" 2006 wall calendar, which features women who work in the high-tech industry. All proceeds will go to a college scholarship fund she's starting for young women interested in computer science careers.

This seems like a good idea, but it's too bad the photos are so cheesy and tasteless (in my opinion). I don't know about you, but I don't use pink ethernet cable as a bikini top. In addition to the photo, each month includes a summary of each model's technical skills and quotes on working in the male-dominated tech industry.
I would have much rather seen classy, artsy photos of people looking both beautiful and geeky. See more at the Geek Gorgeous calendar web site (NSFW).
