How do I spin male modelling on my CV?

Basically, I did a bit of underwear modelling for Aussie Bum and I'm wondering how I could word this as an Extra Curricular on my CV. I was thinking about something along the lines of "mandated to communicate a brand/product to millions of customers across the world, helping facilitate a XX% increase in turnover" ?
I was thinking of leaving it out, but I fear that it may leave a Summer gap on my CV. My gut tells me that there is some potential here, I just can't put my finger on it.
Any ideas will be gratefully received.

you can't calculate your affect on turnover, guy...
How do you spin it? You spin

The only thing is, the
The only thing is, the campaign was part of a successful marketing push. Given that it was successful, I want to demonstrate the part I played and take some credit for it. Essentially, people who bought the product probably will have done so because they saw me wearing them. So, I'd like to think that I had a considerable input in increasing Turnover.
Obviously, I can't calculate or quantify exactly how much of the increase I was responsible for, which is why I phrased it as a contribution.
Using the format above is not conducive to the rest of my CV either. I need a little bit of an explanation.

Hahaha... is this a serious question? Ok, if you want to put this on your resume, please don't put something along the lines of "mandated to communicate a brand/product to millions of customers across the world, helping facilitate a XX% increase in turnover".
That would make you look like a total douche.
Just 'professional modeling - Aussie Bum product' or 'professional modeling - part of successful marketing campaign'.
This is something that could either catch someone's attention... or make you the laughingstock of the recruiting process. The latter will happen if you take this too seriously.

Are you serious?
Honestly I wouldn't include
Honestly I wouldn't include this on your resume. I assume you're applying to finance positions (being on WSO) and this just isn't relevant to the work you'd be doing. Plus, spinning a modeling job into "facilitating an increase in XX% in turnover" is bullshit that any HR exec will see through.
It's definitely impressive, but more something that you share of drinks with your future co-workers, or let the female ones "find out" down the road.

When you describe a previous
When you describe a previous position on your resume, you are expected to describe what YOU actually did. For example, if you were working in a banking internship on a major M&A deal, you might write that you built models, put together presentations, researched the industry, and wrote a CIM. You wouldn't write that you single handedly sold a $3b company to KKR, you'd instead describe your specific role. Similarly, if you worked as a male model on a major campaign, you should describe the what you actually did - "stood in my underwear while people took pictures of me in various poses." If you think those actions are actually relevant to the finance job to which you're applying, then by all means include it.
Since a male will probably be
Since a male will probably be interviewing you, this is probably a bad idea. There's a stereotype that models have shit for brains, and other males don't want to have competition for best-looking at work.
