“Dancing With The Stars” actor Karina Smirnoff even said herself “I’d rather dance naked than wear fur.”

The Ukrainian bombshell is a professional dancer who is known for appearing on Dancing with the Stars and being romantically linked to actor Mario Lopez. In October 2009, Smirnoff of course started dating Major League pitcher Brad Penny of the Detroit Tigers, the couple soon become engaged on October 4, 2010. Recently Playboy founder Hugh Hefner announced on Twitter that “The May issue of Playboy is unforgettable with “Dancing With The Stars” Karina Smirnoff on the cover & nude inside.”

Smirnoff has always been comfortable taking her clothes off. Her 2009 nude PETA ad campaign turned heads with the famous tagline “I’d rather dance naked than wear fur.”  According to The Inquisitr, Smirnoff explained in her PETA interview, “I did wear fur, especially when I was growing up in the Ukraine,” But there are ways of being warm and being fashionable without being cruel.” She stopped wearing fur after viewing footage of baby seals being beaten to death, claiming that, “when we take advantage of an innocent animal that cannot defend herself” it’s wrong. The 33 year olds stunning looks and chiseled body will be up to the test for this upcoming season of “Dancing With The Stars” which airs Monday and Tuesday day on ABC.  In the mean time we all have something to look forward come May. Wink, Wink.
