If its not "Sexual" Then why does her site offer to send hookers out to a party? Crazy fool X3

I dont think her site offered to send out hookers to a party. I have had a few parties where i have hired a stripper to perform and trust me..no one there had sex with the strippers male or female Pole dancing can be great excerise. Fully clothed, no men, no spectators.. i dont see the problem at all. I hope she wins her lawsuit and opens the center up. My friends and I would gladly take ourselves to the classes she was offering. We laughed when we read this article because there are some many sexual oriented businesses and clubs around here it is crazy to shut down a dance studio. Here is a thougth, i find hamburgers to be to sexual..Give me a break, that township can find something much more important to do with their time i am sure. I am gonna research things of that sort near and around that township and see what i can find out about the businesses there might be surprised might not be

So any business that uses a "pink and black color scheme" or a picture of high-heeled shoes MUST be a sex-based business? That's stupid. Next they'll start firing people with the surname of "Gay" because they must actually BE gay, or similar fuzzy logic. And I fail to see what the problem with a dance studio (even a slightly risque one) is in the first place. It's not like it's a strip club...

When will communities realize that we need more of these facilities??? We need more bars (to discourage people from drinking and driving), we need more outlets for sexuality (to give those horndog perv's a place to go and take out their frustrations instead of preying on our daughters), and we probably should legalize prostitution. I understand this business plan is for women to exercise in a femnine way and shape their bodies and enhance their femininity, but on the gereneral subject of "sexual businesses", I mean, come on, what we've always done aint working. I know from experience in Europe, people walk to their local bars because they CAN. Drunk driving laws are extremely harsh in Europe and so consequently, incidents are a lot lower than in the good ole US per capita. Same with prostitution over there. Let's wise up and do the smart thing instead of the same old "moral" high road. I am a conservative republican and on these issues is where I believe that government could help our society and at no cost to the taxpayer. In fact, encouraging these businesses actually can make us money, instead of wasting cops time enforcing 6-foot rules for nude dancers, for example.

not fair

This is EXACTLY like Xpose in MD....they have I think 3 different locations in MD and each location does extremely well. I know for a fact that this is in no way related to "strip clubs" everything is done in a tasteful manner and clothes FULLY on. All aged women do it, from teenagers to 50+ year old mothers & grandmothers! This is a great way to exercise & stay in shape....I hope she wins her case...and I hope someone decides to open a location around York!

god for her to let the women big or small be able to join in, there is nothing wrong for what she does... there is a place in Hanover near the square that sells sex things, and they let them operate there,and they do have strip clubs all over America, as long as no one is getting naked or doing anything inappropriate then whats the big deal???? just make sure they are of age when they sign up

YOU GO GIRL AND I HOPE YOU WIN!!!!!!

At an appeal hearing in May, Peaco testified he didn't need to interview Babines because her Web site's "pink-and-black color scheme ... and the high-heeled shoe in her logo" indicated to him she planned to run a sexually oriented business, the lawsuit states.

That is part of her business it did not show naked women,
Bet if his wife wanted to join he would like it..

XXX-ERCISE ???

Go ahead, enlightened moms and dads.....
Sign up your own teen aged daughter for this.
And see the results in a few years.

Ugh.
Perhaps Las Vegas or Atlantic City would be a more appropriate location for this obvious
Stripper School.

Whatever happened to tap and ballet ?

Given a choice between this, and the legalized rape and enslavement of women (and the legalized murder of all who oppose this) which is supported avidly by Bush, Cheney, McCain, Palin, Warren, Scalia, Thomas, Alito, Roberts, Dobson, and the rest of the GOP (who think they are G-O-D, but are actually much closer to 6-6-6), as well as the Clintons and the DLC, all Muslims, all Chinese Communist Politburo members and apparatchiks, Russian Putin-ators, Chavezistas, Mugabe-ists, Mbeki-ists, and generally perverted rapist pigs everywhere...
...I safely will go to heaven choosing pole dancing, rather than either McCain/Palin or Obama/Biden, or the misogynist position that you and Gary Peaco seem to hold...
...wait a minute - Peaco could be pronounced "Peek-O"! Because of that name, is he more likely to molest children in public restrooms - and if he's Catholic, would he molest both boys and girls, like all the priests that Pope Benedict helps to protect? Based on Peaco's statement:
>> "He said he never interviewed Ms. Babines regarding her intentions for the property because her Web site spoke for itself.
He testified that regardless of whether the activity involved nudity, the dance forms Ms. Babines intended to teach were 'provocative' and contained sexual 'innuendo,' and her dance studio should therefore be classified as an 'adult business,'" the lawsuit contends.
He went on to say that the pink and black color scheme of the Web site, ohmyyouregorgeous.com , along with the logo of an ankle-strap platform heel "indicated to him that she intended to operate an 'adult business.'
We looked into colors and the pink and black are used quite often in gentleman's clubs, along with the stiletto heel is used commonly ... if you go on the Internet and look at brand identity, it talks about different colors," Mr. Peaco said at the hearing. "Red and black are often associated with sexy and seductive and are favored by porn sites." <<
If anyone disagrees, Mr. Peaco has to remember the old aphorism, "What's good for the goose is good for the gander..."

who cares

York, PA

honestly.... who gives a crap about this?? do you honestly think people will go to this place if it even opens?? what mother drops her kid off at the bus stop and heads off to stripping class.... come on, give me a break. this has to be a joke... almost as good as carmen electra's "workout" video.

Congratulations, another PA Township is about to be sued. They must have gotten their legal advice from the same lawyers as Littlestown. Let's see, before long the ACLU will be taking over the case and the Township can fold up under pressure like a deck chair on the Titanic.

Never said stripping class. It said exercise class. Stripping means taking off clothes. lol Pole dancing is dancing with a pole. Some people want to make everything about sex. if you dont want to go, dont go. Oh my and my 11 year olds daughter myspace pages are black and pink with shoes on them. We loves shoes and she thinks black and pink look nice together. I am not a stripper and neither is she. I am not a hooker and neither is she.

Holy shit, what a discertation on nothing! Bet your wife gets the $hits of listening to you.

Me thinks the chicks from York, Hanover and Dover should get together and open a joint like this around here. But you'll have to use at least 8 inch reinforced steel sewer pipe for poles. Always the poles. Why doesn't anyone want to dance with mexicans, blacks, frenchmen, jews, (did I miss anyone). No just the poles. That's racist. Besides, I'm gay and pink and black are my favorite colors. Must not be any blacks in the burbs of P'burg. Ever watch them dance, for all eyes, on TV. The chicks even look good and that is a no-no as my boyfriend always slaps me around when I take a peek at them.

Ridiculous
