In Reading PA., apparently there is no right to 'bare' arms.. even on mannequins....

Sexy Mannequin Can Stay at Eatery if Curves Covered
Posted By: Chaunte' McLean

READING, Ohio (AP) -- A curvaceous, scantily clad mannequin can keep her spot outside a Cincinnati area barbecue joint, but local officials want her to cover up a bit.

The life-size figure stands as a busty beacon outside a restaurant in suburban Reading owned by Kenny Tessel. He told zoning officials at a hearing Wednesday night that the advertising gimmick has boosted business 40 percent.

The 5-foot-10 mannequin is on the street wearing a bikini top and tight short-shorts, though Tessel brought her to the hearing draped in a long, sleeveless gray T-shirt.

The board said Tessel may continue to use the figure only if it's dressed more modestly in front of the restaurant, too.

He plans to appeal.
Lets hope that Bar Be Q prevails and the good citizens of Reading continue to enjoy her company................and cooking.
