Our Favorite 2012 Flashes Of Celebrity Skin

Another year, another crop of delectable celebrity nudity to ponder and peruse. There's been such a good crop of skin this year (and we've got a soft spot for it all) that it's hard to choose our favorites. But choose we must, and shall! Our pervy mind swims with Paz and Lena, Rihanna and Amanda, and... Helen Hunt? Oh well, who's to dictate whither the heart and loins fly?

First we'll venture into our biggest rock 'n' roll crush of the year, PR nightmares be damned! She may have gotten into some hot water over Kickstarter funds and such, but as long as it's not too hot for Amanda Palmer to get naked, we're on board. And when she chooses to take it off with our always-and-forever love, Stoya? Well, it's almost too much to bear. But we think we can.

Next is another stalwart in the realm of nudity and magic -- err, film. It's Paz de la Huerta! When a week goes by without a little peek of Paz, we can't help but feel a little let down. But luckily she keeps the goods coming, whether stripping down in a parking lot or posing for our favorite nudie photogs. She's a celeb after our own hearts -- why can't they all be as free and easy as Paz?

And what kind of celebrity nudity roundup would be complete without a little Lena Dunham? (Though she's given us a lot). This is another chickie who gets the heat, either from her privileged background or quick rise to Apatow-driven young person success, but all we know is a lady this talented (or lucky) doesn't even need to take it off to get some attention. But she does, and how! Even if we want to mute some of the talky mumblecore action rife in Girls, we still appreciate Lena's real girl body and her willingness to flaunt it. Mumble on, girl -- just do it naked.

Oh, Rihanna. You've probably teased us more than any lil starlet out there, with so many close nip slips and faux nudes and almost dirty Instagrams. Though we desperately sweat to see you in the fully-bared flesh, we do enjoyed being tantalized by the morsels you do bestow. We have high hopes for 2013 -- the year of Rihanna revealed!

And in perhaps our biggest surprise entrant of the year, we have MILFy movie babe Helen Hunt. We can't lie, we've been sort of enamored with her since she was by our childhood side escaping tornadoes in Twister, and we're pleasantly pleased and aroused to see that she's still giving it all for her art and stuff. And we mean all! And she's still a babe! So, yeah. "Helen Hunt's Full Frontal Nudity" just might be our new bar trivia team name; it's just that good.

There you have it! This is by nature an incomplete list, but these are some highlights we think are worth reflecting upon some more. And there's plenty more where that came from!
