Ops.. is this a case of virgins don't wear sexy things like that or Oh my God Jesus was not a golden color. Maybe Oh my God their using Jesus to sell their clothes. Or wow! I like that dress but I am allergic to straw.

No its a case that the virgin Mary looks too provocative?

Really its just a dummy and the shop is trying to sell their clothes and women in the good old US of A only like sexy clothes. I gather the window dresser was an atheist having some fun. Three wise women shows she belongs to woman's lib.

Next year their going to have a sexy Santa scene, Christmas sells  
 

Madison 3rd street, which is located on Robertson Blvd., in Los Angeles California, has raised quite a stir with neighbors. The controversy is surrounding their store's display window. It has a nontraditional Nativity Scene. Three Wise Woman and a Virgin Mary that is dressed in a sexy, very short dress, barely covering her legs ...which are spread open. Baby Jesus, is placed directly in the Virgin Marys lap.This provocative window has brought many people down to the store to lodge a complaint. They feel that the store has "pushed the boundaries" too far. This Nativity Scene shows signs  of disrespect to Christians and those celebrating  Christmas.

The owner is out of town, and the employees said that the window was done by a  "window dresser" the key being nowhere in sight. They were hoping to at least get a longer dress on Mary, possibly covering her legs and calming the outraged  felt by on lookers. Others consider it an artist take on the traditional Nativity scene.
