Time for spring cleaning?

LUBBOCK, Texas -- Police in this staunchly conservative West Texas city are keeping close tabs on a young entrepreneur's recently opened cleaning service that offers nude maids.

Lubbock police Sgt. Jonathan Stewart said the owner of Fantasy Maid Service of Lubbock doesn't have a permit to operate a sexually oriented business and officers are watching for any violation, which would bring a $2,000 fine.

But owner Melissa Borrett insists she's not operating such a business. Customers pay $100 an hour for one maid or $150 an hour for two maids, and no touching is allowed, she said.

"I run a maid service," the 26-year-old entrepreneur said. "We really just clean houses. These girls are not performers. They're maids."

The West Texas native and mother said she started the business about a month ago because she was struggling as a waitress to make ends meet. She had even been living at the Occupy Lubbock encampment near Texas Tech University's campus in Lubbock.

"I just decided to go a little bigger, work a little smarter," she said.

Her business model isn't unique, but the city's ordinance requires all sexually oriented businesses to apply for a permit, which costs $650 a year, and to post a $5,000 surety bond or letter of credit.

Such businesses are defined as any commercial venture whose operations include "providing, featuring or offering of employees or entertainment personnel who appear in a state of nudity, seminude or simulated nudity and provide live performances or entertainment" intended to sexually stimulate or gratify customers "and which is offered as a feature of a primary business activity of the venture."

Stewart wouldn't say how police planned to keep tabs on the maid service, and Borrett said she would hire an attorney to fight any attempt by the city to shut her down.

So far, Borrett said, business has been good and she is now busy interviewing to hire more maids. She currently has three on staff. She offers a regular discount to government employees and law enforcement, and an ad posted Friday on the online bartering site Craigslist offered 20 percent discounts for Easter weekend.

If requested, the maids would clean fully clothed, but the cost is the same.

"It is kind of pricey, but we're fantasy maids," Borrett said.

If there isn't any touching allowed, then why does this nude-maid-service business find it easy to touch the customes wallets and pull out large wads of cash?

If you have seen one nude woman then you have seen them all. Most of them have breasts (which is only a slap of hanging fat with a nipple attached for feeding infants), that aren't the same size. Most of them are missing the hanging part that men have. And most of them wear way too much make-up to camouflage their real faces.

Those ladies are not attractive... Unless you like 'em with tats and a drugged out, spacey look on their face.

Close. You're a little off. We believe porn is bad unless we're buying it. We believe sex is bad unless we're the one's having it. We believe contraception is wrong unless we're the one's using it. We don't think regular folk can handle these things, and it should best be left to those of us who are always right about everything.

Headlines say it's raising eyebrows and I was going to say I'm sure it's raising more than that, but after seeing the unattractive out of shape things they're hiring I have to say NOTHING else will be raised. Need to hire some young fine Asian girls...and watch the profits quadruple.
