Like the classic "Betty or Veronica" and "Ginger or Mary Ann" debates, how you answer the question "Kirk or Spock?" says a lot about you as a person. (Either way you're a geek, but bear with us.) Even in retirement their alter-egos carry on the battle of "passion vs. logic," only now they do it in the final frontier of nude photography. While William Shatner chooses to get up close (and maybe a little too personal) with Playboy models, Leonard Nimoy has created a nice second career for himself shooting artistic portraits of women you generally won't find in one of his movies.

We've mentioned his "Full Body Project" before, but (two years later) The New York Times has gotten on board with a thoughtful look at this ongoing work, which is currently featured in galleries across the country and will culminate in a book to be released later this year. Naturally, the discussion focuses on his fascination with large women and the paper discovers that for the most part, people don't seem to mind that much. His message of body acceptance hasn't exactly reached the pages of Vogue, but maybe the fact that people might actually want to see pictures of full-sized naked women isn't so shocking these days, even if some of the kids can't seem to wrap their heads around the idea. Enduring all the fat jokes with a Vulcan-like patience is no problem for Nimoy, who clearly sees his work as more than just a hobby (or a one-time lark, like the old captain.) He's out to change minds, one planet at a time.

We're not sure why we never got around to posting about William Shatner's Playboy shoot back in November (don't worry, he's not on the receiving end of the camera lens), but we'd be seriously compromising the geek cred we've tried so hard to build up over the years if we didn't have at least something about it in the Fleshbot archives for posterity's sake. While his suitably otherworldly photos of Miss May 1998 Deanna Brooks are certainly worth checking out on their own whether or not you happen to be a "Star Trek" and/or Priceline commercial fan, we recommend you peruse them while the loop on ytmn.com of Shatner doing one of his trademark dramatic recitations of Pulp's "Common People" plays in the background to get the full effect of this remarkable pop culture moment. Shatnarian intonations + hot Playmate boobies = pure comedy gold!.

Some readers (you know who you are) may recognize Erica Glasier's sexy illustrations from their appearances in Playgirl; the rest of us can get to know them via this small gallery in which the artist also reminds us of the fact that several of them are also available as posters to purchase. It's too bad we didn't know about this before the holidays, since we know a few people on our gift list who really would have appreciated her portrait of Sweet Action Spock, complete with futuristic electrified lyre and a very passionate, non-Vulcanesque looking boner. Hello desktop, here we come!
