About a dozen people showed up at City Hall on Monday night to support five speakers who asked City Council members to take action on the window. Some also addressed the door handles at The Evan Lurie Gallery of Fine Art in the Old Town Arts & Design District. Owner Evan Lurie describes the sculptures as futuristic male warriors clad in metal armaments. Critics think the figures are naked. Those who appealed to the council said displays such as the Victoria's Secret window make children vulnerable to sexual images. After publicity surrounding the group's protest, Victoria's Secret replaced the mannequins' lingerie with pajamas. Tammy Roberts Myers, a spokeswoman for Limited Brands, which owns Victoria's Secret, said Monday she didn't know whether the change was directly related to the complaints and did not return a call Tuesday asking whether she had clarified that. But some who oppose the displays say the pajamas are worse because they market to younger girls. They also say the mannequins sport suggestive poses and sagging pajama bottoms. "We know Victoria's Secret changed the window, but it's still not acceptable," said Lori Baxter, 46, who has spearheaded efforts to remove the displays. "This window is now aimed at our youth with a pajama party theme. The leaders of this city need to come up with some solutions." City Councilman Rick Sharp advised the women to direct their comments to Mayor Jim Brainard. "The mayor is the executive officer of the city and the one who enforces the laws and ordinances of the city," Sharp said. Brainard was not present at the meeting because he was out of state Monday and Tuesday. He said last week that the city could not ban the displays because it would violate freedom of speech, according to federal court rulings. The city has a decency ordinance passed in 1956, but City Attorney Doug Haney said it refers to pictures, photos and drawings. He said even if the laws were strengthened, displays would have to meet the standards of obscenity established by the 1973 Supreme Court ruling, Miller v. California. Haney said the window displays do not meet that standard. "It's a very high bar because our country has always given the First Amendment such weight," Haney said. But the free speech argument didn't satiate the protesters. "Who has more free speech -- the lifelike models on display in the windows of our public streets or the citizens who pay for those streets?" said Jenny DeHeer, a mother of elementary school and college -aged children. DeHeer said she plans to appeal to state leaders about the windows until they contain "lifelike models posed in socially acceptable positions wearing clothing normally seen on a public street." Carmel resident Denny Woelfel said he's also concerned about children and high school students walking by the Lurie Gallery's door handles, which, he said, depict naked men. "Naked bodies are not bad in their proper context, but on the street is not the place for it -- that's indecent," Woelfel said. "If it's art, it should be inside the gallery." Lurie said the men are not naked, and there's nothing suggestive or revealing about them. "I consider them works of art," Lurie said. "If people start wanting to censor something that's truly not meaning to be anything but non -offensive works of art, you might as well go to museums all over the world and paint over works of art that could be offensive in any way."

Victoria's Secret changes Carmel window display after complaints CARMEL — Victoria's Secret at Clay Terrace Mall changed its window displays following protests from Carmel residents about the racy nature of its mannequins in lingerie. Tammy Roberts Myers, a spokeswoman for Limited Brands, which owns Victoria's Secret, said Monday that she didn't know whether Some say mannequins don't keep the secret By Francesca Jarosz francesca.jarosz@indystar.com Mannequins wearing racy lingerie in the window of Victoria's Secret might lure customers to the popular retailer at Carmel's Clay Terrace, but to some residents the display is a turn-off. 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. a 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." The local group, which included four people during an interview Wednesday, said it has sent a -mails to hundreds of people and pzoon, claims to have communitywide support. A window display at Victoria's Simon Mall spokesman Les Morris said the company would share Secret in Clay Terrace fits the the protesters' concerns with senior management at Victoria's store's image of "sexy, Secret. sophisticated and forever young," Tammy Roberts Myers, a spokeswoman for Limited Brands, said said Tammy Roberts Myers, a store displays are chosen at the corporate level and not at the spokeswoman for Limited Brands, discretion of store managers. Displays vary by the season, but all of which owns Victoria's Secret. them fit the store's image of "sexy, sophisticated and forever Shoppers passed by the store young," she said. Tuesday. - Steve Sanchez / The The intention of the window displays, she said, is to advertise the Star product, not to offend customers. "People's opinions vary on what's acceptable and appropriate and what's fashionable," Myers said. Mayor Jim Brainard said in a written statement that the city's attorneys have researched the issue and determined that Carmel doesn't have the legal authority to regulate the display. He added that he's been in contact with Simon officials to ask that less -revealing items, such as pajamas, be displayed in the windows. "It is my hope that Victoria's Secret would respect our community's family -friendly atmosphere and change their street window displays," Brainard said in the statement. The city's decency ordinance outlaws posting obscene pictures and drawings in public, but Hamilton County Prosecutor Sonia Leerkamp said these kinds of statutes are difficult to prosecute because of their subjectivity. "What may seem provocative to one person may be just a mannequin to somebody else," Leerkamp said. Making it harder to enforce, she said, is that today's community standards have been liberalized to the point where many people don't view these images as offensive. To Baxter and others, that's precisely the problem. They say the images are one example of how sexuality permeates mainstream culture. That trend, they say, causes problems such as broken marriages and premature sex, and stopping it starts in their own backyard. "Something that's meant to be viewed in private should not be on public display," said Jenny DeHeer, who is involved in the protest. "The dignity of women is being assaulted. The dignity of the sexual act is being assaulted. Women are being objectified." Call Star reporter Francesca Jarosz at (317) 444-5527.
