A Scottish mum who shot to fame after flashing at a major sporting event has told how other parents are jealous of her bikini body.
Heather McCartney, 36, made headlines after stripping off at the 2014 AFL Grand Final and spending the night in a police cell.
The former Playboy model, now based in Australia after emigrating from Ayrshire, still poses for large platforms and enjoys wearing skimpy outfits.
But her preference for sexy photos means that some people at the school gate do not share the same opinion.
She said: “As a mother, I have definitely felt the judging eyes of other parents at school pick-up when I rock my tight, form-fitting outfits.
“It’s like they expect me to wear baggy sweatpants just because I have a child.
“But I say, ‘No, thanks.’ It’s about embracing my body and my style, regardless of my age or what others think.
“If they want to stare, let them – I’m here to celebrate confidence and show that being a mother doesn’t mean losing your sass.
“After all, life is too short to stand out if you can stand out.”
Her boldness also means that men often risk their happiness in the worst of times.
But that’s not even her biggest red flag when it comes to guys.
She said: “The most excessive time was during spinning class when I was drenched in sweat and working hard.
“Halfway through the ride, a guy caught my eye, leaned over and said, ‘I bet you’d look even better in that workout gear.’
“It took me a second to process that he actually thought this was a good time for a line like that.
“Some people really need to work on their timing.”
Heather added: “A big red flag for me is a guy who can’t handle a little playful teasing or banter.
‘If he’s too tense or takes himself too seriously, I’ll leave.
“I like a guy who can keep it fun and flirty, but if he can’t handle a little playful pushback, that’s a big turn off.
“Life is too short not to embrace a little kink and spontaneity.”
