The Naked Cowboy, a fixture of New York's Times Square, is suing a "Naked Cowgirl" he claims is ripping off his street musician act.

Robert Burck, 39, who performs in only a cowboy hat, boots and briefs, is suing fellow Times Square performer Sandy Kane, who calls herself "The Naked Cowgirl," seeking as much as $150,000, the New York Post reported Tuesday.

"Your use of Naked Cowgirl is essentially identical to the Naked Cowboy and is clearly in violation (of the Naked Cowboy trademark)," Burke wrote in a cease-and-desist letter to Kane.

Burke said Kane balked at his offer of a franchise agreement, which would require her to pay $5,000 a year or $500 a month to copycat his act.

"If she's going to sell stuff and make money off of it, then, yeah, she's going to have to pay," Burke told the post.

However, Kane, who performs in a stars-and-stripes hat with a matching bikini, said she doesn't believe she should have to pay Burke at all.

"You know how much money I make?" she said. "Two dollars a picture. I'm not selling any products."

This thread is useless with pictures.

Looks like a naked nightmare.

This broad is a guy, isn't(s)he? lol

[JoeProBono]

It's a living?

[Richard Kimball]

Neither one of them should be naked. They should be legally required to shut off the lights before getting ready for a shower.

This is a cowgirl:

[MarineBrat]

Guitly as charged!

[airborne]

Not naked.

Not a girl.

Now maybe the ‘cow’ part is accurate.

[nascarnation]

Life imprisonment for sure.
I’ll give her a pass on capital punishment.

"This broad is a guy, isn't(s)he?"

Nah

[cpa4you]

Even gouging my eyes out won’t remove those images!

The city should pay ‘her’ 5K a month to stay off the streets..

My first thought was that he would have to be stupid, gay, and greedy to make such a silly statement. Having seen the pictures, I wish I hadn't looked, but I also see his point. She's as manly as he is.

[NormsRevenge]

‘She’s’ an old warhorse of the dance halls , I reckun..

[Dem Guard]

She looks like she has had a ROUGH life on a gravel road!
Lordy!

Sorry, Cowboy, but that is little different than Pizza Hut and Domino’s opening in the same area of town.

How much do you pay for your street license?
