So, where does it say that ABC has the ability to change what people do or people watch in a club, outside the purchasing of alcohol or tobacco?  ABC enforces laws regarding alcohol and tobacco.  Nude women are not part of ABC's scope.  The ABC board needs to stop trying to expand it's boundaries.  You are not the police department.  You are not elected officials.  You're a board designed for the sale and consumption of alcohol.

Women being able to dance topless or not, or completely nude or not, is not a call that the ABC board should have any impact on at all.

You're also creating a fictional line between what some one views as art, and forcing that view on others.  I consider topless dancing, and dancing in general a form of art.  I suggest that all the topless bars currently switch to an all theatrical approach.  Just do plays nude, since clearly theatrical performances regulated by some imaginary guidelines are ok, but dancing is not.

Topless dancing may be lewd to some people.  Those people shouldn't go to the bars that are topless.  People have the right to go though, and enjoy the show.  What you're attempting is censorship, and it's unconstitutional.
