Monica Lewinsky Tops Pamela Anderson In International Vote For Most Wanted Bikini Model PR Newswire - March 24, 1998 07:06 %MLM V%PRN P%PRN NEW YORK, March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Although she may not yet have her own calendar and poster line, Monica Lewinsky has proven that if her career in politics doesn't take off, her career in modeling just might. In an international poll conducted online by Bikini.com ( www.bikini.com ), asking who viewers would rather see in a bikini, Monica Lewinsky was favored over Baywatch star Pamela Anderson Lee by a narrow margin of 4%. With 15,887 respondents, 52% indicated that they would most like to see Monica Lewinsky in a bikini. Ms. Anderson came in second with 48% of the vote. "I think it's the curiosity factor that clinched it for Monica," says Howard Sonnenschein, Executive Producer of Bikini.com. "People definitely want to see more of the beautiful, vibrant brunette who captured the attention of the President so remarkably. We would love to do a swimsuit photo session with her." Sample comments from Bikini.com voters included this tidbit from a U.S. Air Force pilot, "We think we'd rather see Miss Lewinsky in a bikini. We've seen all there is to see of Pam, plus we wanna see what Bill saw - with bikini on, of course."
