Playboy launched in 1953 with its first issue featuring Marilyn Monroe on the cover and naked inside its pages.

With that, the world's fascination with naked celebrity pictures kicked into high gear. Millions of nude photo shoots came after it, but that original Monroe spread continues to titillate 56 years later.

Which is why we were thrilled to discover some outtakes for that skinfamous Marilyn shoot on the internet today.

We're not sure who leaked these cheekily cheesecake shotsoriginally snapped for a calendar and later used for Playboy, or if they've ever been available, but we polled the Skin office and none of us recall seeing them. Check them out at the source, and let us know in the commentsare these incredibly rare shots or not?
