"I think that the woman's body is one of the most beautiful creations in the world. I don't care who you are," she said. "The body is like art to me. Everybody is their own being and because of that it makes everyone beautiful in their own way. Everyone is their own piece of art."

Yeah, well, perhaps. But, if every body is like a work of art, then her body is like classic Greek or Roman sculpture, whereas my body would be more like some kind of postmodern abstract Dada misconception.
This is the story coming out of San Antonio about Michelle Manhart, a drill sergeant working out of our Lackland Air Force Base, posing naked for Playboy, and who the Air Force has relieved of duties as it decides what to do about her, maintaining that she has violated Air Force standards:
What is really remarkable about this is that they are having recruitment problems now, for obvious reasons. They are condemning her, and she is the answer staring them in the face with those bedazzling headlights. I give up!

There is your recruitment poster for you. Just stamp on the words: Uncle Sam Wants You! You put that on a commercial and say, "That would be your drill sergeant, boys, come and get it!"
