Restaurant’s Nudes Had a Good Side

* Regarding the Ritz restaurant removing the nudes (“Nudes No Longer Dress Bar,” March 8):

I’m a regular at the Ritz and lunch with a group of women who love those nude paintings. They make us feel like we can eat as much as we like and still look good (thanks to the Rubenesque style!).

Don’t our opinions count as much as these so-called businesswomen? I say that any woman who can’t close a deal because of a painting is not a real businesswoman. Let them eat at the Mariners Elementary School cafeteria with the little girls.
