Edeltraud Linkesch has been suspended by children’s charity Caritas for appearing
in a nude fundraising calendar that raised £14,000 for children with cancer.
Linkesch
appeared as Miss October in the calendar. According to Ananova.com, Caritas suspended
her for “tasteless” behaviour that could damage its “serious reputation.”

An unrepentent Ms Linkesch was pleased with the money raised by the calendar and
said she would do it again any time.
