‘Polls are open' Pole dancing ex-porn star shows her flexible approach to politics

THIS is definitely one way to make sure people vote in an election.

   FLEXIBLE: Mary Carey shows off her pole-dancing moves

But Mary Carey's latest stunt might make people run to the nearest gentleman's club rather than the polling station.

The former adult movie star headed to a strip club for her most recent photo opportunity.

In the racy snaps, the blonde wears a t-shirt with 'Polls are open' written on it in blue and a pair of tiny red pants.

Good to see she's thought to stick with the red, white and blue colour scheme.

   MODESTY: Mary Carey appeared to try and keep her privates covered

And completing the look is a pair of transparent, plastic stripper heels.

Mary, who appeared in Celebrity Rehab, spins around on the poll before squatting to the ground.

The 35-year-old spread her legs apart as she puts her fingers to her forehead in a salute.

   DANCER: Mary Carey started life as a ballerina

And she continues the display of flexibility as she lifts one leg above her head and does the splits while standing.

Her posing looks uncomfortable and probably would be to those less supple.

   PEACHY: Mary Carey showed off her pert behind

But we can only imagine that Carey has been in far more imaginative positions in her career.

As well as her work in the adult film industry, the bombshell ran for Lieutenant Governor of California in 2006, proving you really can't judge a book by it's cover.

Or, you know, by her pole dancing, knicker flashing photoshoots.
