On its official government website, Longmont describes itself as "a city with 22 square miles, 300 days of sunshine, and a spectacular view of the Rocky Mountains." Rotating images of fields full of wildflowers and lakes bursting with lily pads call attention to the city's 1,500 acres of parks and open space, making it seem like the perfect place for outdoor enthusiasts. Come to good old-fashioned Longmont, the site beckons, and revel in the beauty of nature. But behind the city's pristine veneer lurks a racy underbelly, a place where citizens are willing to show shoulders, calves and even upper thighs at the removal of a lens cap.

Longmont Exposed, a 2005 fundraising calendar that will benefit the Old Firehouse Art Center, features some of the city's more outgoing community members baring themselves. Prominent Longmonters, from former mayor Leona Stoecker to Left Hand Brewing Company's Eric Wallace, as well as beefy Longmont firemen, are showcased in the tasteful, often humorous images.

The collection hits the stands September 1, but an unveiling gala will take place this evening from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. at the D Barn, 136 South Main Street. Admission to the denim-to-diamonds affair is $25, or $35 with a calendar; call 303-651-2787 for details. -- Adam Cayton-Holland
