Sandy Kane, the somewhat elder female version of The Naked Cowboy, has been appearing in Times Square for at least a year. I remember visiting a show at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square last August and Sandy Kane, who calls herself The Naked Cowgirl, was playing right outside of the theatre for patrons and passersby.
Well, it appears the franchise known as The Naked Cowboy has not been too pleased with the competition and has now sent Sandy Kane a cease and desist letter and requested that 1) she discontinue dressing as The Naked Cowgirl, or 2) join the franchise.
The Naked Cowboy spoke to several news stations in New York yesterday declaring that Sandy Kane actually is helping increase the value of his brand, but since she is the only one profiting from it, it is unfair since he has a valid trademark in the brand since 2000.
The Naked Cowboy is reportedly seeking as much as $150,000, but a representative for Robert Burck, The Naked Cowboy, said that they were willing to negotiate and settle.
