HA HA! Strip Club Artfully Slips by Anti-Nudity Law
It's amazing how creative people will get to show boobs for money. :)

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.

"We have a lot of people drawing some very good pictures," said Erotic City owner Chris Teague, who has posted many of the drawings around the club.

1. Wasn't there a strip club
where the performers did Shakespeare in the nude, as a way to get around a similar ban?

Maybe heard on NPR a year or 2 ago.
