Topless Day in New York

Jonathon Seidl shares photos of what's alleged to be a demonstration organized by legally topless females in New York City. However, although he says there are web sites out there (not linked to his story) that will be airing photos that focus on the mostly middle-aged women, his pictures make it clear that most of the people in the park are fully clothed. As one Tweeter observed, "6 women and 1,000 creepy guys."

Ho hum, why am I not surprised?

Clue for the clueless: Lots of people in Washington have no hangups about nudity. I've been to a lot of nice places where all forms of clothing, for any kind of body, were optional. Behavior was not a problem. Neither were personal odors--what nice clothing-optional places have in common is that everybody spends a lot of time underwater.

This is not likely to be the case in any large city in North America in August. Maybe some people are excited by sweat, sunburns, pigeon droppings, and mosquito bites in sensitive areas. Personally, I'd expect more excitement from the Republican National Convention.

All women in New York City have the legal right to walk around topless, but my guess is that fewer than twenty, probably fewer than ten, of them want to.
