GREENSBORO, N.C. -- North Carolina's Libertarian Party has found a way to get a little exposure for its platform.

A Libertarian candidate for the state House of Representatives has put together a pin-up calendar featuring herself and 11 other Libertarian women, including five other candidates. The candidates plan to sell the calendar to raise money for their campaigns.

Candidate Rachel Mills said the idea began after she got a call from Playboy magazine.

Mills, 27, works for WorldCom Inc., the scandal-plagued telecommunications company. The magazine wanted to photograph her, totally nude, for a "Women of WorldCom" issue, she said.

"I was raised as a missionary kid, so ... my parents would really not be happy," she said.

Sean Haugh, a Libertarian running for the U.S. Senate, suggested a calendar.

None of the Libertarian women appears wearing less than lingerie, said Jennifer Schulz Medlock, a candidate who appears in the calendar in a tank top, shorts and boxing gloves.

"I think it's a really cute idea," said Medlock, 28. She isn't concerned that voters won't take her seriously.

"Instead of just saying, 'Oh yes, we'll take your money,' this way, people can take a souvenir."
