CJ Sparxx formerly made headlines when she wore a bikini that was so revealing, it left her looking naked from behind.
The barely-there pink bikini left very little to the imagination as the cam girl and model partied at the Sapphire Pool in Vegas – known for being a topless day club.
The pink two piece covered barely covered her privates and her nipples to the extent that from the back she looked completely naked.
Since posting the tiny pink bikini photo, her Instagram has received almost 40,000 likes from her army of 5million followers.
She captioned the pic: "Celebrated my 34th birthday in style at @thesapphirepool with friends.
“Hands down the best birthday EVER! I'll definitely be back!"
