Despite the gravity of her ongoing legal situation, Pivarnick chose to take center stage at Déjà Vu Gentlemen's Club in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where she presided over the judging panel for the club's "Showgirl Of The Year" competition. Dressed in a striking outfit that included a black lace top paired with faux leather leggings and thigh-high stiletto boots, Pivarnick made a bold statement.
