MIAMI - When the chartered Boeing 727 reached cruising altitude, 87 passengers took off more than their seat belts. They removed their clothes.
The nude flight, billed by organizers as the first one of its kind, took off Saturday afternoon from Miami International Airport, headed for Cancun, Mexico.
A Houston travel agency specializing in clothing-optional getaways organized the trip. Passengers paid $499 for the trip, with many heading to Cancun's El Dorado Resort & Spa for Nude Week.
"These are professionals who lead very stressful lives and are ready to let it all go," said Donna Daniels, co-owner of the Castaways travel agency and an in-the-buff traveler on the inaugural flight. "They are adventurers and risk takers. They don't even want clothes as a constraint."

Ok, there were several ways to go with this story. I chose this way:
Let's say there was a plane crash. Think the scene would look something like this???
Ok, I think I'm done now! If you've been on the net at all, you've probably run across some of Spencer Tunick's photographs. These pictures fascinate me for some reason, especially this one....
....but I'm not going to tell you why. I want to see is anyone else picks up on something odd with this picture (I mean other than the obvious!). There is one thing that stands out about this picture. ROTF...ok, no pun intended! Seriously, can you see it?
One thing that fascinates me is the fact that he can get all these volunteers to get together, get nekked, and they're more than happy to lay down on wet, cold, dirty, and sometimes public, surfaces. He's done these pictures since 1992, all over the world. You wouldn't think he could get away with it here, and you'd almost be right. You can read about his FIVE arrests and the ensuing Supreme Court battle he won in order to stage these photos in public.
