The Naked Cowboy, who is frequently seen in New York's Times Square, strumming a guitar while wearing only a cowby hat and a pair of white briefs, has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Naked Cowgirl.
The Naked Cowboy, whose real name is Robert Burck, is demanding that the Naked Cowgirl - also known as Sandy Kane, who performs in a red, white and blue cowboy hat and matching bikini - stop ripping off his trademark.
Burck says if Kane's going to make money by posing for photos, he wants her to sign a 'Naked Cowboy Franchise Agreement.' Most of his licensed franchisees are required to pay $5,000 a year or $500 a month, and must go through a screening process. Kane, who is in her 50s and whose real name is Sandra Brodsky, is a former stripper who's now a fixture of the city comedy scene. She insists that she doesn't owe Burck anything.
