Pamela Anderson played peek-a-boob on the catwalk at Air New Zealand Fashion Week, provocatively swinging a sarong around her body and allowing a glimpse of her breasts.
Aside from the sarong, she was clad only in a skimpy G-string and wearing stiletto heels.
The former Baywatch star did not model in the show as expected, but left her appearance until the end, striding on to the runway with the designer of her new "vegetarian eco" clothing line, Richie Rich, who rolled out on skates. He is also a former ice skater.
Rich lay down on the catwalk and rolled around in front of cameras, and Anderson jubilantly threw a bouquet of flowers she was presented with back into the audience.
It was the world launch of the pair's clothing line, A*Muse, though there was more skin on the runway than fabric. The range consisted of colourful tie-dye bikinis, ripped T-shirts, and for the men there were budgie smugglers customised with sunglasses, mirrors and even scissors in front of the models', er, packages.
Nicky Watson and former Super 14 player and Crowd Goes Wild reporter James Somerset also modelled in the show.
Political statements promised by Anderson included the words "I Love Possum" written on a pair of sunglasses. Anderson, a member of the PETA animal rights group, said that, with the show, she and Rich were trying to to carry a message about the environment and animal rights.
"The way I do it is talk about how many animals are killed to make a garment."
She said she had friends with fur coats who had thrown them out after she had spoken to them.

"I Love Possum". Indeed, I'm sure that's a real winner in this country. I wonder if the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society of New Zealand would agree with their sentiment?
I admire Pamela's commitment to animals & the environment. They are are also my sentiments. This woman is an expert in getting publicity. And she is extremely photogenic. She basically stole the show. Not a bad thing. She got the kind of publicity others can only dream of.
and the organisers were worried about boobs on bikes?
shes a washed-up has-been forty year old who should keep who boobs to herself. tho, class does not go in the same sentence as pamela anderson does it.
This article is useless without pics.
Why make any comment about Pamela Anderson and her friend Richy Rich? It doesn't warrant the space nor the effort!
Fashion Week = boobs on bikes for snobs
And yet the Fashion Week wombles were offended by Boobs On Bikes?
Why is New Zealand sucked into this publicity of American celebrities? We should be paying far more tribute to the NEW ZEALAND designers of fashion week who put in such a huge effort for their shows.
Pamela is one of the tackiest women in America and I think the press should be ashamed of themselves for seriously giving her this much publicity. She isn't exactly the greatest role model, I mean her bikini line is 'Anti-Fur'... really Pam? Who owns a fur bikini?
Why do us kiwi's care in the slightest about American celebrities?? Its horrible how much we portray them and I would have expected more from the Press.
WHO CARES ABOUT PAMELA! Because I certainly don't!
