The Independent Film Channel, aka IFC: No longer just the cable channel where you can watch Clerks again and again. Now you can go to their website and watch photographer Ellen Stagg shoot erotic nudes of Joanna Angel and other adult film stars, on the web documentary series The Stagg Party.

There's not a whole lot more to the series than that. Stagg has some interesting color to add about her work, and the models, not as much. Here are a few of our favorite Ellen Stagg shots from IFC's Stagg Party gallery.

It's called "Benefits Supervisor Sleeping," and last night it netted 33 million samoleans at Christie's auction house in Manhattan. Which, if you're paying attention, would get you a few hundred of those Gisele shots from a few months back. Justified? Who can say; it's art. That shit hasn't made sense since the Japanese bought the Mona Lisa or whatever.

Oh, here's something we can say with certainty: you can click through for a larger version of "Benefits Supervisor Sleeping," which you can download and save. That'll be 33 million dollars, please.

But it's Always So Cold on Airplanes, Are Nude Flights Really a Good Idea?

Our skin always looks so bad when we're flying, and sitting down strapped in naked? The belt cutting into all the bad parts? Or maybe the altitude does wonders for the body? But maybe not in the way we'd like.. because we do remember that one time when the guy we were flying with whipped it out and it seemed so much bigger 30,000 feet in the air. So maybe a nude flight is a great idea for guys and not so much for the ladies? Ah, we're confused so we're going to keep our clothes on and let the Germans have all the fun for now.

A German travel agent has come up with the ultimate in no-frills flying - a charter flight for passengers who want to fly naked. Naturist holidays are particularly popular among east Germans, who like nothing better than to stretch out on a beach in the nude. "The flight can be enjoyed as God intended," said OssiUrlaub, a company specialising in selling to holidaymakers from the former east. "For the first time, passengers in Germany can fly completely in the nude."

Maybe it's the first time in Germany, but there was that one flight out of Miami in 2003.

Ninety intrepid adventurers, passengers and crew enjoyed the first nude flight on a commercial airliner May 3 from Miami to Cancun, Mexico. A chartered Boeing 737 carried the first ever NAKED AIR flight sponsored by Castaways Travel of Houston, Texas. The professionally dressed crew remained clothed throughout the flight, adhering to standard operating rules of the Federal Aviation Association (FAA). Only the passengers disrobed after "take off" and remained nude for level flight until the captain called for clothes and landing procedures upon approaching the Cancun International Airport. Length of the NAKED AIR flight from Miami to Cancun was one hour fifteen minutes. Most passengers were on their way to the El Dorado and Hidden Beach Resorts for NUDE WEEK, also sponsored by Castaways Travel from May 3-10.
