Breast-baring Bites Cleared

PERTH: The action of two striptease artists in asking hotel patrons to bite bumper-stickers from their breasts was not indecent, a magistrate has ruled.

"I must approach this with the same common sense used by the court in the case of Rodney Keft (Rodney Rude)," the magistrate, Mr Con Zemplis, said when Donna Beecham and Sharon Campbell, both 19, were charged.

(The comedian Rude's conviction for using obscene language in the Perth Concert Hall was overturned by the Supreme Court.)

Police evidence had been that the girls, wearing only G-strings and with stickers on their breasts, had invited men in the Floreat Park Hotel on stage to remove the stickers with their teeth.
