This is not an Onion headline:
“This is just a maid service with some really friendly girls and we just happen to be comfortable with (cleaning) without any clothes on,” [Melissa Borrett] said, arguing that being a maid service first keeps her business on the right side of the law.
Not everyone agrees with her assessment.
A Lubbock Police Department sergeant told a local TV station that he believed Borrett’s business needs, at the very least, a permit because he believes it is a sexually-oriented operation.
“Just the fact employees are topless or semi-nude in this case — it’s just not allowed,” he told KCBD-TV.
The sergeant did not immediately reply to the Daily News’ request for comment.
If necessary, Borrett said she would hire legal representation, but so far business is doing incredibly well.
Since opening the cleaning service, Borrett has been able to move into a home with her 2-year-old daughter. It’s a huge improvement over her previous living arrangement; she used to split time between her mother’s house, where her daughter stayed, and an Occupy Lubbock camp.
Borrett said she became involved in the Occupy movement for the same reason she opened her business.
“Just securing a better future for myself and my daughter,” she said.
