Every Saturday, La Cita Bar in Los Angeles hosts an [ongoing event](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/live-art-creation) called, “The Bronx Zoo.” Here you get to drink, express yourself and see [naked ladies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks) all in one package. All are invited to sketch nearly nude female models who protect their modesty with [gorilla masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masquerade-mask-1). The resulting drawings will be displayed at Ghettogloss for three weeks beginning November 14. Brilliant, I LOVE it :-) [See the video here.](http://www.latimes.com/video/?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=2808211) **Implications** - "The Bronx Zoo" drawing classes are definitely a unique event that does not occur all the time. The masks on the nude female models work to challenge what the viewer thinks about female nudity.
