Vienna store seeks nude customers

This enterprising clothing outlet offers new duds to the brave and bare.

Exhibitionists, get your nekked selves to Vienna. Kleider Bauer, an Austrian clothing chain, is holding a special promotion for nude shoppers only. That's right, consumers who strut into one of the chain's outlets without a stitch on will receive $385 worth of free clothing, according to a Reuters report.

Actually, not all nude shoppers will receive the loot -- just the first five naked customers to arrive at each Kleider Bauer store each day. And you can't just drop your clothes at the door and say a quick "guten Tag," either. You have to get as far as the checkout counter, where you will be greeted with a friendly smile (with possibly a wink-wink) and a towel with which to cover up. Then, if you're one of the lucky five, you will receive a voucher so you can buy new clothes for the trip home.

Sound enticing? The promotion runs through March 18, so hop on a plane, drop your duds and streak into the Kleider Bauer outlet nearest your hotel. Just be sure you're walking into the right place.
