At the Miss Exotic World Pageant, ostrich.com and over two hundred exotic dancers will display the longest feather boa ever made and attempt the world's longest Bump & Grind.

     "The design, preparation, and transport of a continuous piece of feather boa over 5,000 feet long is a logistical nightmare, and after a lot of hard work from our dedicated staff, the final product is now set for this world record attempt," explained Steve Warrington, president of Ostrich.com, in a press release.

     Not content with one record-breaking entry, Ostrich.com has also scheduled the world's longest "Bump-n-Grind" to occur simultaneously with the unveiling of the boa. Over 250 exotic dancers are expected to attend.

     "Everyone is welcome to attend this Guinness world-record attempt," Warrington said. "We are certain that it will be a fun-filled and historic moment when everything is synchronized simultaneously." For the feather-loving fan, Ostrich.com will sell 12-foot segments of the record-setting boa with numbered certificates and copies of the Guinness World Record verification.

      Ostrich.com, based in Chicago, imports and exports a variety of ostrich products including feathers, boas, meat, leather, dusters, eggs, livestock, and reference material. The company also publishes the world's largest-circulation ostrich newsletter with over 55,000 subscribers.

      Ostriches are native to central and southern Africa. According to the San Diego Zoological Society, they are at low risk of becoming endangered.
