New ABC permits and regulations
 

In regard to the proposal of 3vac50-140; I firmly do not believe that dancers should be forced to wear or remove any article of clothing that makes them comfortable, like not being able to wear bikini tops in stores etc. {by the way, I see this everyday more times than I can count anyway, and no one really minds, and no police are ever called}. The fact that a law is even being proposed to stop somthing that most female dancers do not mind doing {strippers tend to bring in more money in general when they actually strip} is not only ludacris, but also hindering , considering the fact, that believe it, or not these women actually do have to make a living off of what they do, and this is theyre "bread and butter" so to speak, I'd also like to point out the fact that, these women are not going into a public place or intruding into someones home and forcing anything upon people that they do not want, they are not tricking anyone into anything, everything is advertised and upfront at most toppless bars, none of the women working at these establishments are forced to do what they do, nor are they unaware of what the job they are applying for is going to require them to do when they go in and apply for the job,{I've never met a woman dancing toppless who did'nt realize what she was doing, or who she was doing it for} they're not disturbing the peace, and nothing indecent happens in these bars{BOUNCERS USUALLY THROW PEOPLE OUT FOR ANY UNCALLED FOR OR UNWANTED ATTENTION TOWARDS DANCERS AND THEY DO IT QUITE QUICKLY AND THOURGHOUGHLY} other than dancing. The only reason I can even come up with that someone would want to pass this law is to help some political figures reputation, so that another politic can look at this states laws, and say "Heyyyyyyyy they dont allow this kind of dirt in Va." because of such and suchs law  they got passed {by the way,most of the politics in the world are not doing what they are saying anyway and are dirtier than all hell if you look into any of their pasts} which does'nt help me to relax or feel better at the end of my day or work week (theres nothing like a dancing woman and a few drinks to do this at the end of the week or day). For my last comment against this law I'd like to say that personally I've not met a man in virginia who was against strippers getting toppless in a bar, or a stripper who minded entertaining these men or women as long as they were paying customers, and when it comes down to it these are the people who will be doing, and be around these so called indecent  acts, and these are the people I believe these laws should really be up to.ya
