It all began with Heidi Klum modestly tweeting a picture of her own bikini-clad figure while she relaxed on the beach.
But the soon-to-be ex Mrs Seal unwittingly started a craze now known as “bodysurfing” – where the subject snaps their own figure (usually including a substantial dose of cleavage and slender thigh) and posts it on Twitter.
Rihanna, Miranda Kerr, Leanne Rimes, Coco Austin, Pink, Miley Cyrus, Leah Michele, Kelly Osbourne and er, Sam Faiers have all jumped on the bandwagon.

If that's not enough flesh for you, a campaign by Boobstagram encouraged women to post pictures of their bosoms in the name of breast cancer awareness. You're welcome.
And Huffington Post Women sparked its own orgy of flesh by appealing to women to send in pictures of their thighs - no airbrushing allowed. Bravo ladies!
