Sexy Mannequins Keep no Secrets

Indianapolis—-A group of residents has spearheaded a campaign to remove the lingerie displays from the upscale outdoor mall’s windows. They’ve sent letters to city leaders and executives at Simon Property Group, which owns Clay Terrace, and Limited Brands, which owns Victoria’s Secret.

The campaign to remove the displays started two years ago and resurged in the last month.

Mall operators plan to discuss the concerns with Victoria’s Secret managers.

Representatives of the group say teenagers and younger children should not be able to see the sexually charged images. The display faces Clay Terrace Boulevard, a city street that connects 146th Street to U.S. 31 and lies a block away from several children’s stores.

“(The displays) are in this family-friendly mall with a sexual image for our children to see,” said Lori Baxter, one of the group’s leaders. “It tells our children that society approves of this. We want them to know we don’t approve of this.”
