I wasn’t going to write about this, because we’re a family site, but I suppose we could mention that the 2009 calendar for the Philadelphia Cheerleaders is what is being referred to as “eco-sexy.” What, exactly, does that mean? Well, ecorazzi tells us that,

And it’s not only the recycled paper that’s got people, ahem, excited the women featured are also wearing organic cotton bikinis (or bikinis made from recycled plastic soda bottles) and flashing some additional green elements.

So. I’m not putting any pictures up from this thing, but the description of one cheerleader’s photo reads

DEVAN is wearing an organic cotton top with windmill graphic and organic cotton bikini bottoms; windmill necklace symbolizing alternative energy; pendant imprinted with the word ‘green’ made from silver collected from old film which was combined with an organic binder and fired to create a silver medium that is 99.9% pure silver; shell bracelet; stone earrings.

I suppose if we’re objectifying, it might as well be in a green fashion. You can takepart here to pre-order the calendar. Or, you could always takepart here and buy a Sierra Club calendar, too.   That might also help the environment.
