Buffy gets naked, what a tease

Filed under: Skin Care, Celebrities with Style

After years of waiting, Buffy the Vampire Slayer finally decided to do some nude photography -- sort of. This is as close as it gets with Sarah Michelle Gellar, who has maintained that she will never take it all off for the camera. The ads feature a series of images, each displays an indistinguishable part of the star's body. One features her hand and forearm, another her face resting on her knees, shrouded in her hair. The tagline reads: keep skin amazing.

The beauty of it is, that the sexy ads are for everybody's favorite hand lotion: Vaseline. This is the kind of ad concept that's just made for one-liners. I had the urge to crank one out about how the ads were jerking us all off -- but that's just what the ad firm wants, so I'll stop there.

  • Gisele Bundchen
  • David Beckham
  • Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes

Initially, the skin care giant challenged customers to guess which celebrity was featured in the ads. Now the photos are being auctioned off to benefit the Coalition of Skin Diseases. So it's all for a good cause.

Early in her career, Gellar promised never to do nudity, and it's rumored that she requires no-nudity clauses in her film contracts. According to Female First, she didn't actually pose naked for the ads, but wore a black dress that was digitally removed. Doh!
