Oh My You're Gorgeous wins $75K

Update over the weekend on the plight of Pittsburgh-area pole dancing instructor Stephanie Sabines, owner of Oh My You're Gorgeous, a sexy fitness studio in Adams Township offering classes in pole dancing, hula dancing, belly dancing, and salsa dancing as well as an array of beauty, massage, and entertainment services: She wins!

From the AP story W.Pa. town pays $75,000 in pole dancing settlement:

A Pittsburgh suburb will pay $75,000 to end a federal lawsuit with a woman whom they initially barred from opening a pole dancing studio.

In October, Adams Township officials allowed Stephanie Babines to open her studio. On Friday, officials agreed to pay Babines $75,000 to cover damages and attorney's fees and end the lawsuit she filed against them in August.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed the suit on behalf of Babines saying her rights were violated when the town refused to give her an occupancy permit for her dance studio.

Town officials had argued that "Oh my You're GORGEOUS" was a sexually oriented business that violated zoning rules. Babines is fully clothed in her pole dancing, power lap dancing and strip tease lessons.

And how's this for a sexy Valentine's Day gift idea? The Oh My You're Gorgeous website is selling a $450 Platinum Super Pole for home... exercise.
