London - A German nightclub says it has doubled its turnover and reduced the level of violence after it started using naked women as bouncers.
Management at Beatclub in Cologne came up with the idea as a way to combat troublemakers.
Club goer Stefan Wurz said: "It makes standing in the queue a lot more fun. When they come out on the streets they have to wear a coat, but it's not fastened and there is plenty to see. It takes your mind off everything else."
Wearing high-heeled boots over black suspenders with a fur coat open at the front Linda, 26, says the job is easy and more fun than being a dancer which was her previous job.
She said: "You get to meet people, and I haven't had any trouble at all. If they are over 18 and well dressed, they have a good chance of getting past me."
Beatclub boss Philipp Sommer, 26, said: "With our new bouncers we wanted to try and tone down the atmosphere of aggression that often exists."
He added that the idea had also boosted visitor numbers and added: "It makes the entire visit to our club an enjoyable one."~ Ananova
