ressed in a low-cut pink shirt, tight black booty pants, and thick,
plastic platform stilettos, Stephanie Babines doesn’t look the part of
a political rabble-rouser. Yet an activist is exactly what Babines
became when her efforts to help women shape up through fully clothed,
decidedly G-rated stripper-inspired aerobics ran afoul of overzealous
officials in the small western Pennsylvania town of Mars. This
unyieldingly perky 31-year-old entrepreneur, standing in the small
forest of steel poles that shoot up from the floor of her mirrored
dance and fitness studio, has taught dance-phobic authorities an
expensive lesson in federal court.

If you choose to use to use any language which our editors feel is vulgar -- by their standards -- your comment may be tagged "Crude or Lewd" and may be filtered out of the discussion by those who prefer not to read that sort of thing. If you know you have entered something which will cause your comment to be tagged, we ask that you tag it yourself to save us the time. We do encourage everyone to be civil and not make rude attacks on other people in the Forum. We don't censor out those remarks, but few people enjoy reading them and we would like participation in our Forums to be a pleasant experience for everyone. And, by concentrating on what is said instead of who is saying it, even those who may disagree with you will be more likely to consider your opinions valid.
