We are writing in regards to Boondoggles. My husband and I feel that the owner in no way violated the ordinances of the city of Lewiston.
We are disturbed about the city’s ideologies on nudity. The law in no way states that a woman can’t wear a latex bikini or halter top, so why then when the women are covered by latex did they consider this nudity?
The waitresses were not forced by any means to wear the latex nor was anyone forced to stay at the bar and be served by these waitresses.
In the case of the women wearing latex, I feel this was art more so than entertainment. Doesn’t a person have to actually do something for it to be considered entertainment?
Furthermore, this whole issue raises concern that we as a society are taking a step backward in the evolution for women’s rights. The law is the way it is for a reason. The law states in particular that just the areola and nipple must be covered. If the law extended beyond this, it would be infringing upon the rights of breastfeeding mothers who, on occasion, must breast-feed in public.
The owner runs one of the best establishments in the city of Lewiston. He provides a safe place for people to socialize and have a good time, and we hope we can continue going to Boondoggles.
Simone and Jon Collins, Auburn
