The popular men’s website announced last month that Smirnoff was voted #78 on FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women in the World for 2008.
“Karina Smirnoff is one of the sexiest and most controversial dancers from ‘Dancing with the Stars’,” said FHM Online U.S. Editor JR Futrell. “Karina is really popular with our readers drawing a lot of attention and feedback since she appeared on our Sexiest Women list and her dramatic elimination from Dancing with the Stars this season. We decided to bring her back in this photo shoot so they could see another side of her.”
While she was busy rehearsing and taping for the hit ABC show at 3rd Street Dance in Los Angeles, Smirnoff posed for Laurens Antoine, a senior photographer for FHM and FHM Online.
