Statues in makeshift bikinis require a good explanation, even in Hartsville, Tennesee. The reason is that G&L Garden Center received so many complaints about exhibiting statuses in classical style, ie nude, that they decided they had to cover them up.
At least it got a bit of attention, and since all publicity is good publicity, sale is apparently going up. The story does not tell if the buyers keep the 'clothes' on the statues.
