HOA Orders Removal Of
Woman's Strip Club-
inspired Skeleton Display
By Ben Hooper
Oct. 28 (UPI) -- A Texas woman said her strip club-inspired Halloween dis- play featuring seductively posed skeletons has raised the ire of her local home- owner's associa- tion.
Angela Nava of Richmond said she received a letter from her homeowner's association Sund ay saying there had been com- plaints filed about her "inappropri- ate" and "offen- sively positioned" Halloween deco- rations.
"It's modeled after an adult club," she told KTRK- TV. "We just real- ly had a good time changing the scene up every night. Every
night, we change the positions of the skeletons, and it's really been just a great creative outlet for me."
The display fea-
tures skeletons in colorful wigs pole dancing and strik- ing other sugges- tive poses.
"We've all been cooped up and it's been just a terrible year," Nava said. "We've just decid- ed if this brings a little bit of joy and a little bit of smiles to some- one, then we're doing everything right."
Nava said she doesn't plan to fight the letter from the HOA, since it gives her 30 days from
Sunday to remove the dis- play -- well after Halloween.
"When I got the letter, I was a lit- tle sad," Nava said. "I thought, 'OK, I'm just going to take it down. I'm going to comply. I'm going to take it down and just not do this anymore.' But then I got so much support off of Facebook, and I said, 'Forget it. People are hav- ing so much fun with this, and they love it, I'm going to continue to do it.'"
