Nude maid service in US raises eyebrows

But owner Melissa Borrett insists she’s not operating such a business. Customers pay $100 an hour for one maid or $150 an hour for two maids,and no touching is allowed,she said.

“I run a maid service,’’ the 26-year-old entrepreneur said. “We really just clean houses. These girls are not performers. They’re maids.’’ The West Texas native and mother said she started the business about a month ago because she was struggling as a waitress to make ends meet. She had even been living at the Occupy Lubbock encampment near Texas Tech University’s campus in Lubbock.

Her business isn’t unique,but the city’s ordinance requires all sexually oriented businesses to apply for a permit,which costs $650 a year,and to post a $5,000 surety bond or letter of credit.

Stewart wouldn’t say how police planned to keep tabs on the maid service,and Borrett said she would hire an attorney to fight any attempt by the city to shut her down.

Borrett said,business has been good and she is now busy interviewing to hire more domestic helps. She currently has three on staff. She offers a regular discount to government employees and law enforcement,and an ad posted Friday on the online bartering site Craigslist offered 20 per cent discounts for Easter weekend.
