She’s always up to something, and last night (March 7) Stacy Keibler showed up at the JCPenney Pop Up Store Opening in Los Angeles.

The “Dysfunctional Friends” starlet donned a black suit jacket with black trousers, black heels, and a bright red top as she greeted her fans outside the shindig.

Ever since I was a kid and I first saw the Six Dollar Man go toe-to-toe with Bigfoot, I became instantly hooked by all of the folklore surrounding the furry beast.
