Bubble baths, poker cards and a strategically placed exercise balls are some of the only things covering up the brave models of an Ohio rest home, who have stripped down for a good cause.
The stars of a charity calendar are in their 80s and 90s, but that didn't stop the men and women from an assisted living facility in Ohio from showing a little skin.

Miss March, who's 88, wears a green top hat and not much else in the calendar from Pleasant Pointe Assisted Living, and the centerfolds are two women in their 90s who seem to be playing poker with strategically placed oversize cards.

Flip to February and you'll see a smiling, white-haired Dottie Rutter soaking in a bubble bath and flower petals, with chocolates and lingerie nearby.
At 87, she's the same age as the youngest of three models standing in the cover photo, where their bare feet and shoulders peek out from behind a banner they hold advertising the Barberton facility and the affiliated Pleasant View Health Care Center.
It reads: "Pleasant View, Pleasant Pointe."
Another resident in the calendar is covered only by a large exercise ball.
Administrator Teresa Morris told The Akron Beacon Journal that the residents were clearly having fun the morning the photos were taken.
"The residents were like 20-year-olds — giggling, and having the time of their lives," Morris said. "I do not believe the elderly should just sit around staring at each other. I want a fun environment where I challenge them and they challenge me."

Morris said the only thing her mother, who was Miss July, was worried about was getting her hair done before the shoot.
The calendar features the proud models in a variety of places and poses, often with an appropriate holiday theme.
Miss February, 87-year-old Dottie Rutter, lies in a bubble bath covered in rose petals as she enjoys a box of chocolates to honor Valentine's Day.
The 98-year-old Maxine Garden, who passed away after the shoot, can be seen smiling behind a large exercise ball, happy bare (almost) all in the facility's gym.
The calendar's centerfold is Wilma Purvis, 94, and Norma Elfrink, 91, playing a game of poker with some very large cards - not to mention Coronas and cigars.
Lifetime Barbertown resident and Miss October Jean Genet, 90, was a housewife before moving into Pleasant Pointe.
She told Daily Mail Online that she jumped at the chance to be in the calendar when asked.
'It's a wonderful thing, to feel young again,' she said.
She said none of the models said no to the shoot in December and that she 'felt glamorous' after taking off her clothes to pose in a witches hat.
Mrs Genet was sad that her husband, who died in November, did not get to see the calendar.
However, she said her whole family, which includes five daughters, 14 grandchilden and 30 great-grandchildren, have picked up copies.
'They can't believe that's grandma,' she said.
Money from the $12 calendars goes toward a fund providing shoes for children in the local schools in the city of Barberton.
