Strip Club Artfully Slips by Anti-Nudity Law

[johnnie]

BOISE, Idaho (Reuters) - A strip club in Boise, Idaho has found an artful way to prance past a city law that prohibits full nudity.

On what it calls Art Club Nights, the Erotic City strip club charges customers $15 for a sketch pad, pencil, and a chance to see completely naked women dancers.

In 2001 the Boise City Council passed an ordinance banning total nudity in public unless it had "serious artistic merit" -- an exemption meant to apply to plays, dance performances and art classes."

This cracked me up..I don't know why. I guess I love the creative aspects of it. Give the person who came up with this a medal.

2. Who said it?

"Art is whatever you can get away with."

I think it was Dalí.

6. I think it was Andy Warhol.

I could be wrong, though (that's been known to happen on rare occasions.)

10. I've also heard it attributed to McLuhan

Maybe you remember him from Annie Hall ... :)

5. I wonder if they would let me in with my camera

To take some artistic nude shots

7. Excellent!

As one who's sat through some pretty interminable figure drawing classes, I give this a thumbs up. They should buddy up with an actual art school - I'd sure feel better about my college loan debt if I'd had livlier foundation courses.
