No, this isn't a post about stolen sex tapes or paparazzi photos taken clandestinely along the French Riviera.
And, to be honest, there are no photos to accompany this post.
I'm afraid all I've got for you is this bizarrely fascinating story that appeared in the New York Times in 1995.
Read the Article!
It seems that it was quite common, in the Ivy League and Seven Sisters Schools, to take nude photos of college freshmen with pins sticking in their back.
At the time, if the pins were noticed to be too erratic, the student was sent off to remedial posture classes.
George Bush and George Pataki got them taken at Yale. Meryl Streep at Vassar. Hillary and Diane Sawyer at Wellesley. Wow.
If only there was a tradition of filming hardcore pornographic films with college freshmen. Perhaps Bush's stance on abstinence-based sex ed might be very different.
The story, as I've described it, is not that shocking, really. Who cares? What makes the story interesting, however, is the real motivation behind the photos:
Really? What were the photos for, then?
Wow... the author of the article draws a link to similar Nazi experiments, used to define a master race...
Chilling and foreboding.
I suggest that you read the article... it may be quite long, but it plays out like some nudist detective novel.

"the photos "had nothing to do with posture . . . that is only what we were told."
Really? What were the photos for, then?
"Hersey went on to say that the pictures were actually made for anthropological research: "The reigning school of the time, presided over by E. A. Hooton of Harvard and W. H. Sheldon" -- who directed an institute for physique studies at Columbia University -- "held that a person's body, measured and analyzed, could tell much about intelligence, temperament, moral worth and probable future achievement. The inspiration came from the founder of social Darwinism, Francis Galton, who proposed such a photo archive for the British population."
"What Hersey seemed to be saying was that entire generations of America's ruling class had been unwitting guinea pigs in a vast eugenic experiment run by scientists with a master-race hidden agenda."
Chilling and foreboding.
