020740 Playboy Model Joins PETA in Lettuce BikiniJuly 20, 2002Berlin - Former Baywatch star and Playboy model Traci Bingham has stopped traffic in Berlin by wearing a lettuce bikini to promote vegetarianism. Bingham, who played the life-guard Jordan in the hit U.S. television series, spent more than half an hour posing for the cameras wiggling between a famous steak restaurant and Berlin's Kurfuerstendamm shopping street. The protest was organised by the animal rights group PETA. Bingham's bikini of fake lettuce leaves carried a sign reading "Go Vegetarian!" "I love to wear lettuce because I don't like to wear fur," said 34-year-old Bingham. The restaurant sponsored a meat industry congress in Berlin this year. The manager asked Bingham to leave when she entered the restaurant with a crowd of reporters to order a vegetarian meal.
