Bikini-clad women mow lawns in Memphis

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- One lawn care company is showing a little skin to boost business.

The women of Tiger Time Lawn Care offer to mow customers' lawns dressed in bikinis - a service that attracts more attention to the ladies than the lawns.

"Oh yeah, they honk and yell. They can do everything you can imagine," said employee Blair Beckman, 21.

Beckman said the extra attention is expected, but she looks on the bright side.

"You get the attention but you also get a tan, which I need," Beckman said.

Owner Lee Cathey said the bikini service makes mowing the lawn a lot more interesting, although the fee is slightly higher.

"The yards definitely get more attention when there's a bikini on the lawn," Cathey said. Some customers sit in lawn chairs and have a beer while watching, he said.

The three-month-old company is looking for a way to expand the service through the end of summer.

"In the fall we'll go pick up leaves in the bikinis if need be," Cathey said.

Cathey said there hasn't been any interest in a male version of the bikini lawn cut.

Define "hot".

haha. If i'm paying, then he better have a nice body. I could care less about the face. I wouldn't be staring at that :)

I'm marketing a new product called "Depressed Goth Lawn". It's pretty expensive, but it cuts itself!

Define "hot".

:D

Is there anything hotter than a porty middle aged French Canadian bending over in a speedo? I mean really......I enjoyed that sight many, many times during my summer on Lake Champlain. Ah....the memories......

I was just thinking I would probably get the "red neck" version.

Mowing the yard (well the pasture really) in a bikini might not be the best decision one could make.
