A US strip club has managed to sidestep laws banning total nudity in public by offering customers the chance to make drawings depicting its dancers.

The club in Boise, Idaho, charges $15 (£8) for a sketch pad, pencil and dance performance, in what is billed as an "Art Club Night", Reuters agency says.

A city law passed in 2001 forbids complete nudity in public unless the display has "serious artistic merit".

"We have a lot of people drawing some very good pictures," the owner of the Erotic City Strip Club, Chris Teague, told Reuters. Mr Teague said the idea was born out of a request from a customer, who wanted to enter the premises free of charge in order to sketch the dancers.

The dancers are OK - its those bad artists I find offensive.


Y'know life drawing is probably on the NeoCON chopping block too.

3. They can have my pencils and brushes...

...If they can manage to pry them from my cold dead fingers. Even in death, I'll never let go of the tools of my trade. I will continue to draw whatever I see fit, whether it's made illegal or not. If they wanna stop me, they can go fuck themselves, cause I'll never stop. I'll still be drawing long after it kills me.
