Who knew that lumber stores were the place to hang out?

Made me think of this (http://articles.cnn.com/2012-04-18/travel/travel_oregon-airport-naked-protest_1_airport-screeners-tsa-oregon-airport?_s=PM:TRAVEL) guy.

Instead of asking for the time she should have asked where the hardware aisle was! :rolleyes:

Too bad she didn't head over to Serotta. It could have used the P.R.

[Bruce K]

Was that last one really necessary?

It kind of spoiled a fun little thread

. . . I think if she had only worn a pair of panties she could have gotten away with it legally. I'm pretty sure it's legal to go topless in NY. I'm certain it is in Vermont. Found this online . . .

In 1992 New York's highest state court ruled that women could be topfree in public. Since 1992 women in the highly populous State of New York have enjoyed the right to bare their chests whenever men could do so. As one New York Justice wrote in his concurring opinion, "One of the most important purposes to be served by the equal protection clause is to ensure that 'public sensibilities' grounded in prejudice and unexamined sterotypes do not become enshrined as part of the official policy of government."
In a curious loop of history, the female rights movement in the United States began in Rochester, New York, with Elizabeth Cady Stanton as a principle pioneer. In her time Elizabeth Cady Stanton was ridiculed for wearing bloomers instead of a floor-length skirt. In 1986 seven Rochester women held topfree picnics, resulting in New York's highest court ruling female topfreedom legal in 1992 (see above). Now Cathy Stanton, the 63-year old great-great-granddaughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, is a plaintiff in the Florida suit.


Though most cities have passed laws against it, they are unconstitutional since state law trumps local ordinances . . .

Ironically, national "Go Topless" Day is August 26--same day I crashed and broke my neck! Note I did NOT crash because I was distracted by, uh, well, you know . . . :D

Starkers or stark, raving? Does she express her freedom the same way in winter?
