Default Will this hold up traffic in Santiago?

Hookers are threatening to march naked in the streets of Santiago if police don't allow them to work (it says).
Prostitutas amenazan con protestar desnudas por asedio de las autoridades

P.S. Funny Friday

Default Johns

When they went after the Johns in some U.S. cities and began printing their names in local papers after arrests it did more good than harassing the girls.
A nude protest in the streets sounds pretty bold, interesting, short-lived and totally entertaining. Here's hoping they set a date for the event, it could become more popular than Carnaval (and I have a few vacation days left).

It would be interesting to keep track of all the tattoos in that parade. It may look more like a biker rally than anything, all the tramp stamps that will be visible as the parade passes by.

Which could mean the need for more parking meters...........

What I found interesting was how organised the Santiago working girls are 'La portavoz de las trabajadoras sexuales, Bélgica Martínez, pidió a la Policía que las deje trabajar, o de lo contrario, advirtió, marcharán desnudas por las calles.' They have a portavoz (spokesperson) - that sounds organised.

Default Dominican Police disperse hookers who threatened naked protest

No disrobing.....the police prevented the mass nakedness....some are disappointed the free show will not proceed.

Santiago .- The Police today dispersed dozens of Haitian and Dominican prostitutes who threatened to march naked through the streets of Santiago to protest alleged harassment and indiscriminate arrests by the authorities.
