In Sarasota, Florida this week, adult business zoning laws and neighborhood stodginess prevented a local business owner from opening a hair salon in which the hairdressers would be dressed down to bikinis. Refusing to go gentle into that good night, the would-be businessman is now setting up window displays of a suggestive nature. Sure, maybe it's a little aggressive since there's an elementary school only a few hundred feet away—but as we well know from those reports of the adult industry bringing in $983 squillion a year, there's money in this business, and some people just aren't going to sit down and take their injustices quietly. Or without visual demonstrations of hot mannequin-on-mannequin love. David Douthitt, who refers to the potential hair salon as a clip joint instead of a strip joint, may be helping to drive home the point that adult businesses are bad for the neighborhood ... but at least the pictures of his protest methods are amusing. Especially if you're into hot mannequin-on-mannequin love.
