Pitch invader to sell bikini on Trade Me
12 June 2014/Stuff
Inspired by the Tana Umaga handbag bidding frenzy, a bikini-clad woman arrested for streaking at the All Blacks-Ireland rugby test is auctioning off the skimpy garment – to pay her legal fees.
Lisa Lewis, 25, was arrested and charged with disorderly behaviour after being crash-tackled by a security guard, in front of 30,000 fans at Waikato Stadium, in the dying moments of Saturday night’s test. She was also carrying a handbag, hoping to secure the All Blacks’ autographs, to auction. “Streaking on a rugby ground was on my list of things to do before I die,” she said
Ms Lewis, from Mt Maunganui, has promptly posted her “tinsi winsi green and black” bikini on the Trade Me website – and within hours bidding had climbed to $580.
She was influenced by the $22,750 price fetched for the handbag Umaga used to whack fellow Hurricane Chris Masoe.
Ms Lewis said she had no convictions and hoped to be granted diversion – but needed money to pay a lawyer.
