Coffee advertisement stirs up controversy

LINGERIE COFFEE SHOPS ARE CAUSING A STIR AGAIN…

2ND BASE LINGERIE ESPRESSO IN THE SPOKANE VALLEY HAS

TWO LARGE SIGNS WITH A BARELY CLOTHED WOMAN ON IT

FOR ALL TO SEE.

KXLY’S ALLIE NORTON IS WORKING FOR YOU TONIGHT.

SHE HAS DETAILS ON SPRAGUE AVENUES CONTROVERSIAL BILLBOARD.

TAKE A DRIVE DOWN SPRAGUE AVENUE IN THE SPOKANE VALLEY.

NATS OF CARS GOING BY

AND YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF LOOKING AT THIS SIGN OUTSIDE

OF 2ND BASE LINGERIE ESPRESSO.

KXLY IS CHOOSING TO BLUR THE WOMAN ON THE SIGN.

TO DESCRIBE.

IT PORTRAYS A WOMAN.

WEARING NOTHING BUT A G-STRING AND SOME ANGEL WINGS.

BACKSIDE TO THE CAMERA.

AND HOLDING HER HAIR.

IT’S ONLY BEEN DISPLAYED SINCE LAST WEEK, BUT ALREADY

IT’S CAUSING OUTRAGE.

It’s completely unacceptable and I am offended.

SUSAN EVANS WAS EATING ACROSS THE STREET WITH HER

HUSBAND AND FOUR KIDS TODAY WHEN SHE FOUND HERSELF

FACE TO FACE WITH THE WOMAN ON IT.

SHE SAYS SOMETHING THAT GRAPHIC SHOULDN’T BE PUT IN

PEOPLE’S FACES.

This must be taken down.

THE SIGN IS BOTH IN FRONT AND TO THE REAR OF 2ND BASE

LINGERIE ESPRESSO.

BOTH SIGNS ARE ABOUT TEN FEET HIGH AND ARE COMPLETELY

VISABLE TO PEOPLE DRIVING BY.

It’s a busy street and a lot of families do drive

up and down it.

TAYLOR WALSDORF SAYS HE UNDERSTANDS IT’S ADVERTISING,

BUT THINKS THAT IT’S A LITTLE OVER THE TOP.

I think they could have
done a little bit better advertising

outdoor and that’s just my opinion.

JOEY JOHNSTON WHO WORKS ACROSS THE STREET SAYS HE

PERSONALLY DOESN’T HAVE A PROBLEM, BUT CAN SEE WHY

PEOPLE ARE UPSET.

This is a family resturaunt and this area, people

drive by all the time.

Like I said, I don’t have a problem with it, maybe

if it was just a little less revealing.

OTHERS SAID OFF CAMERA THAT IT’S NO WORSE THAN SOME

OF THE LINGERIE COMMERCIALS THAT RUN ON TV.

We reached out to the owner of 2nd Base Lingerie Espresso

and she declined to talk on camera.

She did say that the only problem she’s ran into is

the city saying the sign is too tall, so she’s currently

in the process of getting a permit for it.

SPOKANE VALLEY CITY COUNCIL PASSED AN ORDINANCE BACK

IN NOVEMBER THAT REQUIRES WORKERS TO COVER UP.

PER THE NEW MUNICIPAL CODE IN PUBLIC PLACES.

WOMEN CAN ONLY SHOW HALF OF THEIR BREAST.

WITH NO NIPPLE.

THE ONLY RESTRICTION FOR A PERSON’S BACKSIDE PROHIBITS

SHOWING THE ANUS.
