To coincide with its 25th anniversary, celebrity nudity website MrSkin.com has selected the 20 Most Iconic Moments in Celeb Nudity. Featuring everything from Kate Winslet’s PG-13 nudity in Titanic to Marilyn Monroe posing for Playboy and Kim Kardashian’s sex tape, this is the perfect way to celebrate a quarter century of Mr. Skin! And Mr. Skin is bringing the party to your city, celebrating the website’s milestone anniversary with major bashes in several major U.S. cities this summer!
For the last 25 years, visitors to MrSkin.com have been able to revel in a celebration of celebrity nudity in film and television, with the site cataloging every nude scene ever featured in a movie or on a TV show going back to 1915. While it does take an entire team of people to keep the site running, Mr. Skin is indeed a real person. Against all odds, Chicago native Jim McBride turned his lifelong passion for celebrity skin and his savant-like retention of trivia about the nude scenes—including what time the nude scenes occur in the film—into a career.
That Mr. Skin is now celebrating its 25th anniversary in an internet landscape that has seen the demise of nearly every website launched around that same time is a testament to the power of McBride’s dream and his unyielding commitment to creating a quality product.
The site’s big breakthrough came when McBride appeared for the first of many times on The Howard Stern Show in March, 2000. This helped to propel the site into the stratosphere as Stern’s core audience was the exact kinds of men that Mr. Skin was courting. It was an appearance on Stern’s show several years later that would bring him to the attention of filmmaker Judd Apatow, who reached out to McBride to use his website’s core concept as a plot point in his 2007 summer blockbuster Knocked Up. Mr. Skin had finally gone mainstream.
As the site approaches its 25th anniversary, it is home to more than 30,000 actress bios, 30,000 movie and TV show reviews, and over 200,000 pictures and clips. The site is an internet mainstay, a resource as important to film aficionados as IMDb.com, and one that continues to grow every single day. There’s a reason Mr. Skin is the online king of nude celeb content, poised to be around another 25 years… or at least as long as there’s an internet.
