Times Square just isn’t big enough for the both of them

Looks like Times Square just isn’t big enough for the both of them. The Naked Cowboy made world famous by being only guitar clad and singing to throngs of tourist visiting Times Square claims a copy cat bikini-clad female who calls herself “The Naked Cowgirl” is ripping off his shtick. Since a high noon gun fight is no longer an option he’s threatening to lasso her into court with a law suite.

Robert Burck, the original Naked Cowboy sent a cease-and-desist letter to his foil, Sandy Kane, a fixture of the city comedy scene and former stripper famous for closing her act by lighting her breasts on fire. Claiming that the use of Naked Cowgirl is an infringement on the Naked Cowboy trade mark.Burck is demanding that Kane who began appearing in Times Square in a red, white and blue cowboy hat and matching bikini several years ago either stop making money off of his trademark or sign a “Naked Cowboy Franchise Agreement.”

“Naked Cowboy”, licensed franchisees are required to fork over $5,000 for a year or $500 a month and are required to go through a screening process to ape the Naked Cowboy’s act. According to sources there is room to negotiate an individual deal with Kane.
