Pole-ing the Electorate- Campaign Posters of Bikini Clad Candidate Make Appearence in Warsaw in 1st Of It's Kind Campaign

Municipal elections in Poland's capital have never been so hawt!

Some political news out of Poland that, mercifully, doesn't involve the President of Poland and his cabinet dying in a horrific plane crash. That's right- just because most of the elections are over and done with in the USA doesn't mean there are others that we should be paying attention to.

While it's not that unusual for pop stars or beauty queens elsewhere in the world to run for office (Venezuela pops to mind right away), the campaign for a seat on a district council in Warsaw is the first of it's kind for Poland.

WARSAW - A Polish singer and tabloid celebrity has put up posters of herself stretched out on the sand in a provocative bikini as part of her campaign to win a Warsaw district council seat in municipal elections on Nov. 21.

Several of the posters — http://www.saramay.pl/blog.html — are to be seen around Warsaw’s Bemowo district bearing Sara May’s slogan: “Beautiful, independent, competent.”

“The deeds count, not the words, so I will not promise anything. I live in Bemowo in Warsaw,” May, whose real name is Katarzyna Szczolek, wrote on her English language website, adding that she would try to make the city a better place to live in.

Internet users who posted their comments below May’s poster on various websites were not interested in her political views, preferring extensive discussion of the extent to which her photograph had been digitally enhanced.

I am by no means the first blogger to post the story of Katarzyna Szczolek and her bid for the municipal seat, so the image of her campaign poster has been pretty widely circulated.

So I took the liberty of posting some other images from Katarzyna Szczolek/Sara May's portfolio so visitors can get a better idea of how she looks in a wet sari her qualifications for office.

I'll let you be the judge.
