Carmen Electra sets temperatures rising with a raunchy burlesque routine

Former Baywatch star Carmen Electra upped the already sweltering temperatures of Los Angeles last night when she performed with a burlesque group.

The American pin-up joined the Les Femmes Cheries to perform a combination of cabaret, striptease and fashion show at the Key Club in Hollywood.

Dressed in black satin bra and knickers with a sheer black body over the top, Carmen's figure looks as stunning as ever at the age of 36.

Carmen's sizzling performance was a dramatic contrast to her demure appearance at the ComicCon Convention in San Diego, days earlier.

Les Femmes Cheries was created by original Pussycat Doll Lindsley Allen.

Carmen performed with the original Pussycat Dolls troupe - which inspired the pop group of the same name - for two years, but declined to join the band when they launched two years ago.

Her reasons at the time were salary-related, she said: 'Financially, I couldn't become part of their new music project... It was a sacrifice I couldn't make.'

As well as her modelling and acting past, Carmen had a brief pop career in the early 1990s after signing a contract with Prince's Paisley Park Records.

She released her self-titled debut album in 1993, which featured songs such as Go Go Dancer and Fantasia Erotica, but it failed to make an impact with critics or in sales.
