    Post Florida Law, Is it true.

    A Florida court ruled that exotic dancers must cover one-third of their buttocks.

    I got this in an email today, Is it true?

    I dont know about all of FL but I know some counties have this law, not only in FL but various places around the U.S.

    HI
    I dance in Fl Ive danced here for 3yrs.
    I have heard that comming in 2006 that there will be no more nude clubs in daytona (theyres 2 now) ... I used to work in a club that had this rule, this meant that we had to wear huge amounts of tape that covers exactly half of our breassts and yes, the part of your but on the bottom that forms a horizontal line( i ont know the name, whaere your buttcheek starts) must be covered. shorts that literally cover your whole ass. It's a 50$ fine now.
    If this law is passed statewide, it would clean up alot of sleaze here and hopefully, 5 years later we can go thru this legal battle again as the laws change.

    Only thing so far is ban on certain parts of Florida with coverage on bathing suit wearing. No more thongs in my area outside adult entertainment clubs. We still have nude clubs all around Florida.
    Pamela.

    So as of yet this is NOT true, and wont be in South Florida anytime soon, that i do know. Now up my way....They are starting shit with bans and stupid laws that are not enforced.

    If we had to cover that much of our ass, that leaves a bikini bottom to wear or more material.....Lol. I would say more material than boy shorts, which a couple clubs require to wear on the floor anyway in my area.

    I worked with Sinn in that club, when they had to cover at least half their breasts with tape, and all of their ass with booty shorts.

    That law is still on the books, and had been before, judging by the illustration I saw posted in the dressing room of another club in the same city, where I was previously employed. Though come to think of it they did allow more of the ass to be exposed in that illustration than was the case for a while there--but the breasts had to be covered to a very large extent, and the ass was pretty well covered up.

    They had just decided to enforce that law for about a year and a half or so, until the opening of 2 nude clubs in town meant it was even more ridiculous to crack down as heavily as they had been. They were trying to harass Lollipops, by far the biggest stripclub in town (it is gigantic by any standards), which opened entirely against the city's wishes, just as they were kicking off their absurd campaign to make Daytona Beach a "family-oriented' town. In order to be fair, they had to crack down on all the stripclubs in town.

    Lollipops' owner had the balls to thumb his nose at the city and the cops when they raided his club, as many as three times a night at the height of it. The dancers there continued to wear the skimpiest thongs and went topless, or used vinyl paint when it got to be nasty. He paid their legal fees. All the raids wound up giving him the best free advertising. The other clubs, who were already hurting badly from having many of their best dancers leave to work at the big new club--and lots of their customers follow them--couldn't afford to pay fines or lawyers, so did their best to either obey the laws, or devised warning systems (in some cases bordering on the absurd) such as special lights, secret codes, etc.

    I suspect that this law was effective--if not enforced--for a larger area than just our part of Florida, though I can't be sure. Like the "six foot distance" law in Tampa, or laws against getting a blowjob from your own wife in your living room, it might be in existence in the entire state, for all I know, waiting to be enforced at the discretion of the powers that be.

    With a goody-two-shoes Bible-Beating twit like 'Jeb' Bush in office, and his constituents empowered by the current trend toward moralistic efforts, the rest of the state might be in more danger of stricter laws--or law enforcement--than we think. Certainly Orlando has seen a drastic change since a few years back. Its suburb of Longwood had at least three nude bars and many very prosperous topless clubs. Now there are no nude clubs, and the topless bars left are struggling.

    Guess I should count my blessings that I still live in a state where none of these ridiculous laws exist. One third of a butt? A nice ass never hurt anyone. It's bad enough in some municipalities where the dancers have to wear pasties. Like putting modified bandaids would protect us from seeing nipples. Nipples are soooo dangerous. On a more positive note, Maxine is looking pretty hot in that picture.

    I am so flattered by you all....(blush!!)
    But seriously, FL girls will have to get acquainted with the "booty shorts"/ "coochie killers" that we have to wear in alcohol-selling strip bars in CA....Which generates piggy stubborn behavior from custies...("What am I getting for [insert dollar amount] if I can't see anything?")
    To quote Lily Burana. the booty shorts give you "...a frontal wedgie so bad, you'll swear it's karmic payback....."

Like the "six foot distance" law in Tampa, or laws against getting a blowjob from your own wife in your living room, it might be in existence in the entire state, for all I know, waiting to be enforced at the discretion of the powers that be.
    The bottom line (no pun intended) of laws like this, as well as minimum distance laws and contact laws, is that they're really not intended to be enforced on an ongoing basis by the politicians who write them. What they do accomplish is giving the politicians/cops/courts a way to utterly control the strip club businesses, with these laws serving as a weapon to simply walk into the club at any time for any reason and start busting dancers. On a deeper level, what they also do is "criminalize" exotic dancing in the minds of the general public, moving it out of the realm of legitimate show business and into the realm of other criminal type businesses i.e. drug dealing, prostitution etc. as a stereotype.

    As I've said 100 times before, the end result of passing laws like this actually makes clubs dirtier instead of cleaner. Obviously if some dancers follow the letter of the law and wear the legally required "diaper" bottoms, while other dancers are wearing less and showing more, earnings are going to suffer. However, by the slippery slope theory, disregard of the law in a small way (i.e. thong instead of 'diaper') eventually leads to disregard of the law in larger ways (minimum distance, contact). Once clubowners and a fair percentage of dancers have firmly accepted the notion that it's necessary to break the law on a daily basis in order to earn decent money, and once they realize that the legal penalties for being busted wearing a thong instead of a 'diaper' are actually just as severe as being busted for doing 'extras', things generally go downhill in a hurry.

    Oh, I was going to mention, My club had a law against sheer booty shorts and also nude colored shorts.
    A good medium betrwen the two extrems would be that the dancer has to wear a wrap or skirt, shorts on the floor, and then they could get down to a t-back in the private room. That wouldnt be so bad.
    Melonie, I really agree with all the things that you put in your post. Dont forget that busts generally happen around election time, too.

    Stooped by a club last night on my way home from Miami. This club is 3 miles away from my home, started all nude the manager said, then went topless. Would not say why, i did not ask why? But this club is *ummm* still. But topless.

    City hall is having a meeting about the thong ban and adult clubs in brevard i heard soon, so this will be interesting. These clubs will, i agree all have to be topless, or pastie,with boy shorts, it's heading that way for now in my area.

    The part of your rearend is the nate. I had an attorney cracking me up one day when he was talking about case law he was reading that was defining the nates of the ass and it was so damn ridiculous.

    But what about plumbers who show their 'nate'? What about outside in public on the
    Florida beaches? If any 'opaque covering' will do, what about body paint on your butt?

    I don't know the geography there, but Broward county has hot dog vendors covered:
    Law: Persons may not be "inappropriately attired" who work at hot dog stands.

    Country: United States (land of the free, home of the brave)
    City: Broward County

    Citation: Chapter 39 ZONING*
    ARTICLE XVII. COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS
    Sec. 39-300. Limitations of uses.

    (s) Mobile food units.

    (2) Persons vending from mobile food units who are inappropriately attired shall be considered to cause a hazard or impediment to traffic. Inappropriate attire shall include clothing which shows any portion of the anal cleft, cleavage or buttocks of males or females such as G-strings, T-back bathing suits, thong bikinis or any other clothing or covering that does not completely and opaquely cover the anal cleft, cleavage or buttocks of males and females. Inappropriate attire shall also include clothing which shows the portion of the human female breast directly or laterally below a point immediately above the top of the areola with less than a fully opaque covering. This definition shall include the entire lower portion of the human female breast, including the areola and nipple, but shall not include any portion of the cleavage of the human female breast exhibited by a dress, blouse, shirt, leotard, bathing suit or other clothing, provided the areola is not exposed.

    If you want to see some other dumb laws that Florida has (nothing against Florida,
    all states have some crazy ones), check out this link:
    http://www.dumblaws.com/laws.php?sit...d=184&region=9
    There's the law against falling asleep under a hair dryer, unmaried women parachuting on
    Sunday, how elephants tied to parking meters are classified, public singing while wearing a
    swimsuit, farting after 6PM on Thursdays, sex with procupines, and more city and county
    specific illegalities. What are your favs?
    Seriously though, what a club might consider
    doing to protest this is to have a "dumb law" day in which they proceed to break every
    dumb law they can. Whether or not they're cited, the judicial system will look ridiculous.
    Might get them on the news. Also, consider reading up on jury nullification... another
    check on dumb laws.
