Due to Tennessee’s State Blue Laws, all performers are required to meet coverage as dictated by the Alcohol Beverage Commission.

• Top coverage: pasties that fully cover the areola
• Bottom: all genitalia must be covered and the cleave of the buttocks from the top to where the buttocks meet the legs (the vortex).
• All coverage, top and bottom, must be opaque (not sheer).

There are several creative ways to tackle these coverage issues. Full panties worn under a g-string is acceptable as a simple solution. If you are interested in purchasing coverage, Blue Lawless has many options.If offered a performance spot, you agree to fully comply with blue laws.

Here are a few photos of acceptable coverage. Feel free to reach out to Viola if you have questions.

Some Nashville productions also require “underbra” coverage from the bottom of the areola to the base of the breast. Appliques, tape, or a quarter bra are easy ways to meet this requirement, should you encounter it. Example below made by modifying a basic bra.
