No prostitutes here
Germany is clearly expecting a hell of a lot of sex work going on during the 2006 World Cup.
Prostitution is legal only in designated areas in Germany, hence the oh-so-helpful "no prostitutes here" signs. The signs are supposed to stop fans from bothering women who aren't sex workers and stop sex workers from moving out of the legal areas.
Working girl or not, I think we can all agree with the sign's sentiment that thigh-high boots are not acceptable under any circumstances.

i think thigh-high boots are acceptable, especially since knee-high boots are maybe a leeeetle bit overplayed, particularly here in new york. i think they are more acceptable in a nice chocolate brown, especially.

Either that or "no loitering by lamp posts."
dang, marie, that's just not right...
i mean, there's a reason why they call it "lampin'"... wow... and i've got to kind of agree with anna here... i mean, if you can rock it, rock it... but if you can't don't...
i should really write something more substantial one of these days...
I don't know what's funnier a bunch of 'feminists' discussing the appropriate dress code for prostituted women, or the fact that legalized prostitution has gotten so out of control that street harassment and sexual solicitation of ANY women are now the norm rather than the anomaly... How lovely... As if having men hollering out 'nice ass' wasn't bad enough, women can all be assumed to be sexually available at any time for pocket change.
If 'sex workers' were so free and liberated, why wouldn't it be acceptable for them to move out of legal areas anyways? What should they do now - wear armbands or signs on their foreheads to differentiate them?
But, but, but... that's my favorite fetish!* Darn you, Jessica! Darn you to heck!
* that's not really true
