Holly Madison dons a VERY plunging mini dress


Holly Madison dons a VERY plunging mini dress as she enthusiastically washes her pink convertible
She's no longer a Playboy bunny and is now a mother after giving birth to daughter Rainbow in March last year.
But Holly Madison showed she still possesses a sexy side as she washed her light pink Porsche convertible in the driveway of her Las Vegas, Nevada abode.
The 34-year-old model put on something of a show, appearing quite animated as she scrubbed down her sports car.
The TV personality showed off her curvaceous figure in a plunging floral-printed mini dress that ruffled at the bottom.
She teamed the summery frock with a pair of white and red sandals with wooden platform heels.
And Holly's striking red locks were flowing loose around her shoulders, while sporting a full face of make-up.
The former The Girls Next Door star wasn't afraid of a little mess, as she was seen hand washing her car with a big orange sponge.
After cleaning the exterior, including the car's tires, Holly rinsed it down with a hose and big bucket of water.
The star was without her 18-month-old daughter Rainbow Aurora and husband Pasquale Rotella.
Holly and the Insomniac Events founder just celebrated their one year wedding anniversary on September 10.
Meanwhile, Holly has been preparing for her future gig in which she'll be stripping straight back into her lingerie for the grand opening of her new Las Vegas speakeasy in May.
The venue is called 1923 Bourbon & Burlesque and is located at the Mandalay Bay hotel.

Book on high fashion’s most famous cat Choupette


Such are the fancies and ennuis of Choupette, the most famous cat in fashion owned by Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld, according to the new book Choupette — the Enchanted Life of a Fashion Cat.
With photographs by Lagerfeld, the small 123-page hardback being released tomorrow is an homage to the three-year-old fluffy white Burmese with spectacular blue eyes who has a life any supermodel would envy.
From her specially made-to-measure Louis Vuitton luggage to the three silver bowls that serve as her dinnerware — she eats at the table, never on the floor — Choupette leads a charmed life.
Tending to her every whim are two “ladies in waiting” and a bodyguard. On flights on Lagerfeld's private jet to Rome, Monte Carlo or New York, she is allowed to visit the cockpit. She poses with top models and celebrates her birthday with fresh shrimp cocktail.
The book shows Choupette doing things any ordinary cat would do: Curling up in a box, curling up in the sink, playing with a feather toy, hiding in a shopping bag. Next to those are pictures of her playing with her very own iPad. She also tweets, or at least has someone to do her tweeting for her.
The first message under her Twitter handle @ChoupettesDiary two years ago boasted that “everything, from my whiskers to my meows, are a source of inspiration.” She now has more than 41,000 followers.
In various modelling sessions captured in the book, published by Flammarion, Choupette is seen draped around the neck of model Laetitia Casta, the Eiffel Tower in the background, or wrapped in the arms of Linda Evangelista.
It also includes recipes to please feline palates imagined by chefs from the most prestigious restaurants of Paris. “The Cafe de Flore's (Destructured) Choupette Club.” named after the famous Left Bank cafe that is a favourite of Lagerfeld's, calls for cubed chicken, egg, bread, bacon and mayonnaise.
Another mixes Alaskan King crab, smoked salmon and caviar — which Choupette's veterinarian notes must be given in moderation as its saltiness can encourage high blood pressure in cats.
Then there is her everyday menu — two types of dry food and chicken, turkey and fish wet food.

Simple tastes that no doubt endear the haute couture cat to Lagerfeld, the man who once famously pronounced: “I'm very much down to earth. Just not this earth.” — Reuters
