I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dates naked' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'oddball daring callers to go on' is the wordplay.
'oddball' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'to go on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (in a down clue, some letters go on top of others).
'daring' after 'callers' is 'callersdaring'.
'callersdaring' is an anagram of 'CALENDAR GIRLS'.

(Another definition for calendar girls that I've seen is " Popular film".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
