Bikini-clad Naked Cowgirl Sandy Kane is planning to trademark her act after repeated run-ins with her tighty-whitey-wearing rival, Naked Cowboy Robert Burck.
Kane, a 42nd Street regular for six years, said that she's had it with the cowgirl "imposters" better- known Burck had trotted out to join his act.
Burck already owns the Naked Cowboy trademark, and he offers those wanting to perform in the buff with him a franchise agreement, according to documents obtained by the New York Post.
Burck previously filed a trademark infringement suit against Kane (a former stripper famous for lighting her breasts on fire), but the case was dismissed with Burck authorizing Kane to use "Naked Cowgirl" alongside her own name and not in connection with his brand.
In 2007, another busker named Louisa Holmlund also tried to lasso the Naked Cowgirl trademark, but was denied.
But now Kane, who has appeared as the character on TV and performed with singer Peaches, wants the trademark, saying she really feels like she deserves it.
