'Idol' Dominatrix -- No Stranger to Chaps
The whip-toting, leather-clad "American Idol" contestant on Wednesday's show is used to sexing it up in front of large crowds -- she was once a chaps-wearing booty shaker for an Arena Football team.
TMZ has found photos of Erica Rhodes from her stint as a dancer for the Dallas Desperados -- which were taken back in '06 and '07 when the AFL still existed.
As long as Erica keeps wearing leather ... we'll be rooting for her.
