We don't work there: Playboy playmates, models sue Tampa strip club over use of images

TAMPA, Fla. — A group of 11 women have filed a federal lawsuit against a Tampa strip club, claiming the business used their images illegally in advertising campaigns.

The plaintiffs include several Playboy centerfolds, TV personalities, a former police officer and Miami Dolphins cheerleader, and the 2006 Miss World Colombia, according to a civil complaint filed Tuesday.

The suit claims 2001Live, Inc., doing business as 2001 Odyssey, used their images without permission to advertise upcoming adult-themed shows and events online and in print.

None of the women suing the strip club have ever worked for 2001 Odyssey and all say the use of their image has damaged their career, the suit claims.
