Eva Mendes lingerie picture too hot to handle

Mendes underwear poster heats up the Big Apple
Eva Mendes is causing something of a stir in New York. An enormous poster in downtown for Calvin Klein shows the film star sprawled in sexy lingerie as she gropes a manly stud who reclines in a compromising position. Protest groups claim that the poster is tantamount to pornography and not appropriate for such public display.
The giant ad takes up the whole side of a building at the junction of Lafayette and Houston streets in the Soho area and local residents say they want it removed.
Mendes counters that those getting hot under the collar over the ad have religious motives for not enjoying a larger than life rendition of her in her underwear.
Mendes has modeled for Calvin Klein underwear in the past and as these pictures show, she can get a lot more raunchy than the current controversial poster.



It has been a troubling time for Mendes and her undergarments. A recent TV ad for Calvin Klein's Secret Obsession perfume featuring the star rated too sexy for television. That commercial saw the sultry 35-year-old rolling around on a bed wrapped only in a sheet when she inadvertently gave the camera a glimpse of her exposed and prominent nipple.
