Crowds ogled the Australian AXQUISITE models strutting on a runway in evening gowns and “Dreamgirl” skimpy costumes, from the typical female cop complete with billy club to the more unusual (any less erotic?) taxi driver and card dealer! “We were going to do the lingerie, but scrapped the idea the last minute,” business development director Vic J.
