Record holder for longest legs shaves for charity

New York, Mar 6 (ANI): Svetlana Pankratova, the Guinness Book of World Records holder for the longest legs, shaved them to raise money for the lower East Side Girls' Club.

Pankratova, who stands 6 foot 5 inches tall, stepped up for the cause at Kiehl's flagship store at 109 3rd Ave.

"It's really going to benefit and raise some money. It's a little bit unusual but in that way, it's a lot of fun," the New York Daily News quoted Pankratova, as saying.

For every stroke, Kiehl's would donate 44 dollars to the organization, while promoting the re-launch of its shaving cream.

She finished at 58 strokes and raised 2,552 dollars.

The money will help the Girls' Club art and photography classes as well as keeping some of their annual trips alive.

The 36-year-old Russian model was glad to contribute for the cause.

"It's a great experience. I wouldn't do it just to show off my legs, but if it benefits a lot of people it's very good," said Pankratova. (ANI)
