LOS ANGELES — Carmen Electra has perfected the art of the "Aerobic Striptease," but now, the former "Baywatch" babe is taking her passion for getting hot and heavy to a whole new marketing level.
Electra has been busy plugging her latest "workout" DVDs, “Vegas Strip" and "In the Bedroom." But she's also been working on the release of her very own line of stripper poles.
"I am so excited to have a new pole coming out, a portable stripper pole. The great thing about my portable pole is you can put it in your own living room or you can do the workout in your bedroom," she said. "No one has to see you do it. It's up to you — you can perform for your husband or boyfriend, or do it more as a workout and focus on that."
Electra (who has been training with The Pussycat Dolls for the past three years) has no doubt built an empire on her sex-symbol status, and is hoping that this interesting little product will help empower women not only to “get in the best shape of their life,” but do so in a way that they can embrace their female prowess.
So while Electra has cottoned onto the Tinseltown trend of being both an actress and a brand-builder, this bride-to-be assured us that she certainly won’t be following the current fad of rushing down the aisle.
“I have known him [her Korn guitarist fiancé Rob Patterson] for years; we were friends first and then we just started dating. He’s super sweet, really, really nice and a really kind, loving person," she said. "There are no plans as of yet; we're taking things really, really, really, slow.
“It's just funny how you get engaged and everyone thinks you're getting married tomorrow — even my friends were calling me going, 'Are you pregnant? I heard you're pregnant. Is that true?'" she continued. "All these rumors start and gossip, it's funny. But it could be 10 years. I really want to take it super, super slow.”
The 36-year-old obviously has a “thing” for rocker types — her past relationships include Prince, Dave Navarro, Tommy Lee and B-Real of Cypress Hill.
“I've always been attracted to the rebel, the person that seems the most fearless. Because maybe in a way, I can live through that person,” Carmen explained. “Maybe I’m that way because I grew up with a lot of music in my family — my dad plays guitar and my mom was a singer in a band and my brother played drums, so I guess I see a lot of my family in men like that.”
I'm excited. I'll wager anarky is too.
