> [@BeeGee](#): > > The topless part lasted about 2 months before the health department stepped in. Totally serious question: what’s unhealthy about exposed breasts? Food isn’t generally served in barbershops and I could understand concern for hair in food. If stylists were wearing asslesschaps, well, maybe I could see health concerns with regard to hepatitis maybe. But where’s the health issue in a barbershop? Even if the stylist has a hairy chest, there’s bits of hair falling constantly due to the nature of the enterprise. 😕 ---

Wouldn’t the girls boobs get all itchy from all the hair clippings getting on them? Also, isn’t that thought kind of gross, getting other people’s hair on your exposed breasts? ---

> [@Flyer](#): > > Then you must not expect to find any women in a “gentlemen’s club.” Well, nothing like having to explain a joke to make it unfunny. I would in fact expect to find women (as employees, anyway) in “The Tasty Titties Gentlemen’s Club”. But I wouldn’t expect too many in “Frank and Larry’s Greenwich Village Leather Bar” (where there may be topless servers, but hairy-chested or shaved-chested ones) And - maybe I’ve been too much in East Coast US urban neighborhoods – “Studs” or “Studz” just to me sounds more like the second than the first. Which was kind of funny for a second there, to me, since I’m sure that’s not the impression they’re trying for. ---

If you serve food, health department has lots of rules. I believe it was a case of “we could do it, but we’d have to have more employees on a shift than we’d cover with revenue”. Frankly the idea of handling sharp scissors with no top on gives me the willies. ---

> [@Bullitt](#): > > Not haircuts, but MLB baseball and topless dancers: I’ve gone to 29 of the 30 MLB team ballparks (only missing ATL), and in my travels I’ve seen one and only one ballpark with topless dancers. Okay, pasties, but otherwise topless. I could not believe my eyes. > > At Miami’s Marlins Park in left field is a bar called the Clevelander. There’s a cover charge, which I paid in order to sit at the seats right on the warning track — only a chain link fence separates you from the left fielder, a very cool place to sit! But to get there I had to walk past topless dancers at the bar. It was a tough journey but I made it. > > Images NSFW, paste URL into address bar: goo.gl/mWCpDX > > I could not believe they had topless dancers inside an MLB ballpark! To be fair, there’s considerable debate as to whether the Marlins are an actual MLB team or not. 🙂 ---

> [@kenobi\_65](#): > > There used to be a very similar one in my home town, called “Perky Cups.” Yeah, Perky Cups didn’t last long in Wisco. It’s too cold to work a drive-up window in a bikini for most of the year. There’s a regional chain called “The Barbershop” around here where (originally) the women were scantily clad, but now they are just really pretty women in smocks. Sent my husband to The Barbershop the morning of our wedding for a relaxing hot-towel shave, not knowing about the scantily clad women thing. Glad he still showed up that afternoon. ---

> [@astorian](#): > > When I get my hair cut, I tend to zone out, even to nod off. I rarely converse with male OR female barbers. > > SO, even if my hair was being cut by a gorgeous nude supermodel, I’d never NOTICE her! Why pay extra for things I’m not even looking at? Considering the places barbers usually stand when they cut my hair I wouldn’t be able to see much of anything other than a pink blob. ---
