Kendra Wilkinson is starting her own line of stripper poles
Linens, lace, fine china, stripper poles, good silver – nothing says marriage like a traditional wedding registry. Unfortunately, the uptight snobs at Macy’s and Bed Bath and Beyond think they’re too good to stock stripper poles, making them really hard to register for. How else are you supposed to furnish your new home with the necessities? Luckily former Playmate and “Girls Next Door” star Kendra Wilkinson – who’s getting married in June and talking about little else – saw this unfortunate gap in the marketplace and decided to step up and design her very own line of stripper poles.
Coming to a store near you: Kendra Wilkinson’s new line of stripper poles!
“I’m coming out with my own stripper pole. Stripper pole, and stripper pole workout,” The Girls Next Door star, 23, told Usmagazine.com at the American Red Cross Red Tie Affair in Santa Monica Saturday.
“It’s like Carmen Electra’s, but mine is better,” she continued. “Mine will connect to the ceiling, and you can spin on it and do all that stuff on it.”
Wilkinson is busy promoting her new E! reality show, Kendra, which follows her engagement and marriage to Philadelphia Eagles’ beau Hank Baskett.
“It’s been fun,” she said of taping the series, which premieres this summer. “A lot of work, but fun. I’m used to Holly and Bridget, but now it’s just me. My show’s kind of — our show — is kind of like I Love Lucy, but newlyweds. It’s funny.”
How’s wedding planning going? “Still working on the dress,” Wilkinson — who was worried about looking too “’80s Prom” — told Us. “We’re talking to a really cool florist. He’s making the flowers amazing — 6-foot centerpieces! It’s going to look like a fair-tale wedding. I’m really excited about it.”

I sense an impending stripper pole feud. Kendra Wilkinson vs. Carmen Electra. Instead of having an epic dance off (the best way to solve most feuds) they’ll have a strip off (the second best way to solve most feuds). There will be three categories upon which they’ll be judged: pole twirling, clothing removal, and skanky facial expressions. I’m placing my money on Carmen, but I’m sure it’ll be a photo finish. Or something.
I have no idea what Carmen Electra’s stripper pole looks like (I’ve learned not to Google these things, I rarely get the results I want), but Kendra seems to be implying it doesn’t connect to the ceiling, and that somehow makes it unworthy. I’m not sure if she wants to get really high up on the pole and do something fireman style, or if maybe not connecting to the ceiling means it’s less stable and thus limiting. But I hear the world of celebrity stripper poles is really competitive, so if I were Kendra I’d watch what I say. Fighting words and such.
