So, a couple of months ago, I wrote about a plane that urges you to join the mile-high club by allowing you to have sex on their planes. I guess that in a day where you really need to start your own business to be successful, you'll find the oddest companies coming to the forefront. This company, in particular, is almost like something out of an X-rated movie!
It turns out; a Texas woman, Melissa Borrett began Lubbock Fantasy Maid, a nude maid service, last month and has already attracted nationwide notice, and obviously, some unwanted attention from law enforcement. I'm not sure why law enforcement would get involved. She's not providing any sort of sexual service. Borrett says that her skin-showing maid service is there only to clean. If I was to clean my house in the nude, does that mean I'm doing something illegal? Of course not! My house, my laws! There's no reason why law enforcement should be involved at all.
The 26-year-old entrepreneur came up with the idea while working as a waitress at a local strip club, where she couldn't find enough work, and wasn't thrilled with the management, whom she described as 'chauvinistic'. Borrett stated that she'd heard of this kind of service being available in other cities, so she started the service in Lubbock, Texas, where she would have no competition, and figured she would do well.
Customers shell out $100 an hour for one maid or $150 an hour for two maids, who can appear in lingerie, topless, or nude, as long as there is no one under the age of 18 present and the customer is fully clothed. Borrett said that one her the rules is that if a customer under 18 calls, they will show up fully clothed, and will still clean anyway. Any dirty business is strictly prohibited. Borrett went on to say, "At no time may a client ever make physical contact with the maid. A maid may accept tips, however, if a maid accepts tips for physical contact, she will be terminated immediately, and the customer will not be able to schedule services with Lubbock Fantasy Maid Services again.
Borrett says that her employees are not the women you might expect. With the exception of one employee, who worked as a waitress in a strip club, none of her maids are former strippers. She said, "This is just a maid service with some really friendly girls and we just happen to be comfortable with cleaning without any clothes on." Being a maid service keeps her business on the right side of the law.
Lubbock Police see things differently, though. Apparently, they believe Borrett's business needs, at the very least, a permit because it's a sexually-oriented operation, and the fact that her employees are topless or semi-nude in this case is just not allowed. My question is why, again? If they are behind closed doors, and no one knows what's going on except the business owner and client, how is that breaking any laws? It's not like the maids aren't doing garden work in the nude. They're in a private home! What's the big deal?
Since opening the cleaning service, Borrett was able to move into a home with her 2-year-old daughter, which is a huge improvement over her previous living arrangement splitting time between her mother's house, where her daughter stayed, and an Occupy Lubbock camp. Borrett said that she became involved in the Occupy movement for the same reason she opened her business. She just wanted to secure a better future for her and her daughter. To be honest, I really don't see what she's doing wrong. She started a cleaning business with a gimmick. She's staying away from anything sexual and seems to be pretty strict about it, so what's the harm. To me, it sounds like whomever is trying to put her out of business is just jealous that they didn't think of it first! If a permit is all she needs to get them off her back, then why not go and get one. Otherwise, you have to give props to Miss Borrett for jumping on a brilliant business opportunity!
