BERLIN (Reuters) - Former Baywatch star and Playboy model Traci Bingham stopped traffic in Berlin by wearing a lettuce bikini to promote vegetarianism.

Bingham, who played the life-guard Jordan in the hit U.S. television series, spent more than half an hour Thursday posing for the cameras wiggling between a famous steak restaurant and Berlin's Kurfuerstendamm shopping street.

The protest was organized by the animal rights group PETA. Bingham's bikini of fake lettuce leaves carried a sign reading "Go Vegetarian!"

"I love to wear lettuce because I don't like to wear fur," said 34-year-old Bingham.

The restaurant sponsored a meat industry congress in Berlin this year. The manager asked Bingham to leave when she entered the restaurant with a crowd of reporters to order a vegetarian meal.

What the heck are those things in her belly-button? M&Ms?

[rintense]

Heh. Well if you like drooling over silicone and plastic, who am I to judge?

[IoCaster]

"How would you feel?"

Huh?!?

I'm pretty certain that I truly don't care about their marraige or relationship in any way whatsoever. I personally don't find her particularly attractive nor do I think she is repulsive. The point of my post was to bring out the fact that someone found her desirable enough to marry. Nothing more, nothing less.

Yes, she's enjoying her salad days.

Bumper sticker: If vegetarians only eat vegetables, then what do Humanitarians eat?

Why are some of you outraged? She is just desprate for some press after her carrer has floped. The little press power she has left is being wasted on these stunts. A year from now someone will say Traci Bingham and the world will say WHO?

Rollerblade cops?

Just curious, do you know who she is?

No, and you can blame globalization for that. It's from a Brazilian fashion show as reported by Hindustan Times.I assume their randiness is a British legacy. :-)

Maglev M&Ms. Once a highway becomes over traveled...

You need to warn people before you put up his picture on the screen.

Why, that naughty Hindustan Times!


Thank you for the effort in replying.

I bet she has inorganic material to pump up those bazongas.

Lettuce be thankful for the pics!

Well, Hitler would be 112 today.:^|

[decimon]

I do my best.

[MistrX]

Now that's a salad I wouldn't mind tossing!

[proust]

I guess this gives "salad dressing" a new meaning?

Speaking of Hilter ... I'm frankly surprised this thread hasn't "seen it's way" to the "dark side." LOL &;-)

Brings a new definition to TUNA salad.

drooling over silicone and plastic

I don't see much difference between this woman and the ones at realdoll.com ---might as well just get all silicone and plastic instead of only half.

I'm relieved. I was starting to get worried about you! :-)
