A day after Rima Fakih is crowned Miss USA, photos emerge of her pole-dancing her heart out.

We liked Rima Fakih when we first saw her strutting the stage at this year’s Miss USA contest. Besides being a striking Arab-American in a sea of blondes, the 24-year-old from Michigan was also a bit of an underdog. She had lipstick on her teeth, tripped during the evening gown portion of the contest, and referred to birth control as a "controlled substance" during the Q&A. Despite all of the small fumbles, Rima still went on to be crowned the first Arab-American to win the Miss USA title.

However, did you think because of her Lebanese ancestry that she wouldn’t be just as red-blooded as any other young, attractive American woman? Well, you’d be wrong! The day after she won Donald Trump’s annual beauty pageant, TMZ posted photos of Rima competing in a pole-dancing contest put on by a Detroit radio station. According to TMZ’s sources, Rima kept her clothes on, but on-lookers still managed to stuff her bra full of one dollar bills. Miss Cougar USA Title Is Awarded

Clearly, there are no conservative Arab traditions for this girl!
