(AP) -- The five exotic dancers were mainstays at a popular Atlanta strip club until a city ordinance threatened their jobs.

And on Monday they took their case to Georgia's top court, arguing the law is a naked attempt to target nude dancing
establishments.  The women were either 19 or 20 years old in 2007 when the city passed an ordinance that banned anyone under 21 from entering a store that sold alcoholic beverages on the premises.  Attorney Alan Begner pitted it as a right-to-work case involving five women who were stripped of the right to strip.

City attorney Amber Ali Robinson countered that the ordinance doesn't ban the women from nude dancing - only from dancing in certain strip clubs until they turn 21.
