RUSH: Ken in Tulsa, you\u2019re next on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hello, sir.<\/line>CALLER: Good morning, Rush. How are you?<\/line>RUSH: Never better, sir. Never better despite the cultural rot all around me.<\/line>CALLER: Well, first of all, let me say that it\u2019s an honor to be on your show, and please keep up the good work.<\/line>RUSH: Thank you, sir. I shall, because only I can really do it.<\/line>CALLER: Sir?<\/line>RUSH: Only I can really do it. Everybody else is a pretender.<\/line>CALLER: Yes, that\u2019s true. This is in regard to your piece yesterday on the Heart Attack Grill<\/a> in Arizona and Eye Candy Cuts in Tulsa Oklahoma. My wife and I own and operate Eye Candy Cuts in Tulsa.<\/line>RUSH: Well, we got a phone call from a woman telling us about your place.<\/line>CALLER: Yes.<\/line>RUSH: Was she accurate? What\u2019s the actual name your business?<\/line>CALLER: The actual name is &lt;a target=new href=”http:\/\/www.eyecandycuts.com”>Eye Candy Cuts&lt;\/a>.<\/line>RUSH: Eye Candy Cuts.<\/line>CALLER: Yes.<\/line>RUSH: All right, and so anybody can go in and get their haircut?<\/line>CALLER: Well, anybody can go in and get their haircut as long as they are male and over the age of 18. We cater to the male population.<\/line>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s good enough for me.<\/line>CALLER: The clarification that I wanted to make was that it\u2019s not the neighbors that are upset with what we\u2019re doing at Eye Candy Cuts, and to my knowledge there\u2019s no group that is lobbying the Board of Cosmetology concerning the attire of the stylists at Eye Candy Cuts —<\/line>RUSH: And what is that attire, just to be clear.<\/line>CALLER: The caller pretty well described it. We have costumes that the girls wear that show cleavage. We have thigh-high stocking. They\u2019re in high heels. They may have exposed midriffs.<\/line>RUSH: Wow.<\/line>CALLER: It\u2019s nothing that you can\u2019t see at the beach or a swimming pool in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on the 4th of July.<\/line>RUSH: Yeah, but it\u2019s December. Good for you, sir.<\/line>CALLER: We just turn the heat up.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: (Laughing.) In more ways than one. You know, I\u2019m thinking here, if I walked into your store to get a haircut, I know one of the key things that\u2019s required when you\u2019re getting your haircut is you gotta keep your head still depending on what implements the stylist is using. Eye candy does not lend itself to keeping one\u2019s head still. <\/line>CALLER: Well, even if you\u2019re getting your haircut, that doesn\u2019t immobilize your eyeballs, and so, you know, we have mirrors in front of the stations and —<\/line>RUSH: Oh, yeah.<\/line>CALLER: — the eye candy is available for your viewing pleasure at such time as you can move your head.<\/line>RUSH: Yeah. I see that. I forget about the mirror aspect.<\/line>CALLER: The point that I wanted to make was that it is not a group that is lobbying the Board of Cosmetology concerning attire. It is the Board of Cosmetology itself that wants to include the verbiage change in the regulations that says the attire of the licensees must cover from the shoulders to mid-thigh, including armpits, and that short sleeves are acceptable.<\/line>RUSH: Oh. So it\u2019s not the public that\u2019s upset with you? It\u2019s a regulatory body?<\/line>CALLER: That\u2019s exactly right. <\/line>RUSH: Now, can people drive by your shop and see what\u2019s going on in the window?<\/line>CALLER: No, they cannot.<\/line>RUSH: Well, then what\u2019s the beef?<\/line>CALLER: Well, that\u2019s a good question. We\u2019d like to know that also. I went to a meeting last Monday in which the board voted yes to include this verbiage into their regulations, and the assistant attorney general that was also present at the meeting told them that they had no jurisdiction concerning attire but that they had the authority to rewrite the regulations if that\u2019s what they chose to do, and that is what they chose to do. So they are willing and wanting to include verbiage in the regulations that would affect 30,000 licensees within the state of Oklahoma.<\/line>RUSH: What are you going to do?<\/line>CALLER: Well, there\u2019s a long bureaucratic trail that this thing has to take. Right now we\u2019re not doing anything. I think that we want to see what the final result of the —<\/line>RUSH: Let me tell you what you need. Let me tell you right now, Ken, let me tell you right now what you need to do. The Heart Attack Grill is a great model. There are so many real people who are in support of the Heart Attack Grill, patronizing the place, reacting to the state attorney general\u2019s office trying to get them to change the attire of their nurse waitresses in there.<\/line>CALLER: Yes.<\/line>RUSH: And that\u2019s what you need. You need a public groundswell of support for your freedom to run your business as you want. You are not oppressing these stylists. They\u2019re choosing to work there based on what your requirements are. Nobody is being hurt. Nobody is being harmed. Nobody can accidentally walk by or drive by and see what\u2019s going on, and even if they could, yippee, it\u2019s like going to the beach, as you say. So what you need is a groundswell of support to overwhelm the regulatory body. Don\u2019t insult the regulatory body, that\u2019s just going to rev \u2019em up even more to teach you a lesson.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, exactly. Well, and furthermore, Rush, we\u2019ve been inspected by the city of Tulsa, the neighborhood inspection division, and our information has been submitted to two different city attorneys, and neither city attorney found us to be in violation of any of Tulsa\u2019s city ordinances. What they\u2019re wanting to do is make it to where that manicurist that\u2019s performing a manicure cannot wear a tank top or a sundress. It gets pretty hot in July and August in Oklahoma. That stylist would not be able to where a sleeveless blouse to work —<\/line>RUSH: That\u2019s absurd.<\/line>CALLER: — it would be in violation of the regulations.<\/line>RUSH: Well, we\u2019re happy to help out, Ken, publicizing your plight there. A lot of people are uptight about things that they don\u2019t see and that they don\u2019t confront and that they don\u2019t have to see. Don\u2019t let \u2019em get away with trying to portray what you\u2019re doing here as corrupting anybody. You\u2019re talking about adults and so forth, and you\u2019ve got a business to run, and a hair salon is a hair salon. Any business that\u2019s in competition with another has to do things to stand out. There\u2019s a lot of noise out there and you have to be louder than all the other noise. Sounds to me like you\u2019ve found a fun and cute and stylish way of doing this that\u2019s harmless, particularly when you look at other things. What\u2019s the crime rate in Tulsa? What is being taken seriously there that is representative of cultural rot that is perhaps not getting the full attention of authorities down there and they\u2019re now focusing on you because you\u2019re an easy target and they think easy to defeat and they can notch their belt with you, but hang tough.<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
