Pole Dancers Turned Runway Models

Yummie Tummie Shapewear's Naughty Fashion Week

Yummie Tummie has a novel idea for promoting their lingerie at New York City’s Fashion Week: Put her lingerie on pole dancers. Designer Heather Thomson selected eight pole dancers out of a pool of women from upscale Manhattan strip clubs who were known to perform gymnastics-inspired routines.

According to Page Six, Heather Thomson is keen to get Kate Moss to pole dance for Yummie Tummie this Fashion Week due to her reputed talents in that department. Who knew?
