The 'Winter's Children' photoshoot in Vice Magazine's June 2010 issue is all about your birthday suit. The spread features some brave souls snowboarding down a mountain wearing nothing but their skin!
The risque ladies and men in the Winter's Children shoot are flying down a snow-covered mountain doing tricks and getting some serious air, all the while bearing their souls (and behinds) to the wind. I have a feeling there was more than one case of frostbite here, especially if there were some falls in the snow. Good thing they had those serious wool blankets to warm up their tushies!
