A Quebec strip joint that is organizing a contest with a prize of free breast implants worth up to $7,000 has angered the province's main women's group.

But Johanne Dolbec, owner of the Lady Mary Ann, says she will push forward with the idea despite the outrage expressed by the Federation des femmes du Quebec.

"I don't care what people accuse me of," Dolbec said Thursday. "This has nothing to do with my own personal beliefs. This is a publicity campaign to get attention.''

Dolbec wants to attract more women customers to the bar.

She says participants will be allowed to sing or dance. They may stay fully clothed, strip partially or take it all off.

The contest begins this Sunday and ends with a big final on May 23.

Alexa Conradi, head of the Federation des femmes du Quebec, accused Dolbec of exploiting "women's insecurities" regarding their bodies.

"A contest like this takes these insecurities and makes women sometimes want to replace their breasts with bigger ones," Conradi said.

"We know that nipples can become less sensitive with this kind of implant. That's quite a price to pay to have bigger breasts."
