Who better than curvy Kendra Wilkinson to step from the pages of Playboy to celebrate the opening weekend of Stripper Bar at Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile. She’s even going to teach a Stripper 101 class Sunday!

The Girls Next Door and Kendra star and wife of Hank Baskett of the Indianapolis Colts joins the Stripper Bar instructors to teach the right moves around the pole be it positioned in your bedroom or at a topless club. Kendra’s Sunday class is $249 and includes cocktails, nightclub and theater tickets, her personalized Ruby package, her Sports Pole and a meet-and-greet with her.

The Stripper Bar will be home to our city’s newest landmark after tonight’s opening. A 31-foot-tall custom-built stripper in red thigh-high stockings and black corset and bustier nicknamed Sin City Sindy stands tall at the entryway to welcome visitors.

Unsuspecting customers who walk in between her legs to get inside will probably by virtue of human nature look upward for a sneak glimpse. A hidden camera snaps the guilty or delighted expressions, and the evidence is yours to take home as a souvenir photo from the Strip Club Capital of the World.

It took more than three months to build Sindy at a cost of more than $150,000. She was hand-carved out of huge blocks of Styrofoam and then supported from the inside with a steel structure before the Fiberglass shell was sprayed on and hand-painted. She weighs more than 2,500 pounds and was brought into Miracle Mile in two pieces and then reassembled.
