Kylie's war on strip clubs

Odd goings-on in New Zealand, where Kylie Minogue's legal team have apparently sent a strip joint a cease-and-desist letter demanding that the club removes a picture of Kylie from its window.

The legal team claim that it's an implied endorsement of the Santa Fe Dreamgirls place; as if people passing by would see a photo of Kylie in the window of an obscure strip club and think "blimey, clearly Kylie comes here when she wants a lap dance." Even more bizarre is that the photo isn't of Kylie - it's a random woman in a wet t-shirt. Are Kylie's legal team trying to tell us that Minogue has done wet t-shirt photo sessions?

Huh. But even if it was her, I'm not sure how the picture implies endorsement. Many sex shops and strip clubs use photos of various celebrities who've never set foot inside to pique the interest of passersby; I worked for a local chain of adult stores that had big blown-up pics of Chasey Lain and Paula Abdul in the windows (granted, we had plenty of Lain's videos and sex toys inside for sale..but Abdul??). Personally, I'd be complimented, but maybe that's just me.

The pic doesn't hold a candle (so to speak) to that excellent waxwork at Madame Tussaud's, anyway.

Of course, if Paula Abdul did decide to go into the bongo-vid market, the plot to 'Straight Up' pretty much writes itself.

did you find Paula Abdul brought much trade in to the store? I'm picturing customers hoping to find an 18R version of the video with the cat in it...
