Topfree Festivals

Festivals are a place outside the rules of normal society. Going topfree at some festivals seems to be acceptable, but not at others. Have you ever gone topfree at a festival, or attended one where it was acceptable? It seems to be more common in the Western  US, but I've heard rumor of placed in the east coast where it happens.

Topfree Beaches in NYS

Today I wanted to mention topfree beaches in NYS. Technically speaking any public beach in NYS is topfree, unless the local municipality has passed a law prohibiting women from going topfree. Have any women out there testing the viability of exercising your legal rights? We know that the Co-ed Outdoor Topless Pulp Fiction Appreciation Society had a trip to the beach a while back, but are curious as to whether others have enjoyed a beach topfree.

Breasts are Healthy

Today I just wanted to mention the Breasts are Healthy blog. It follows the story of a woman trying to normalize women going topfree in public. I feel like small scale activities like this are much more useful than the National GoTopless Day put on by gotopless.org, which becomes much more a spectacle for the media.

Topless Yoga

Every once in a while topless yoga seems to make it's way through the news circuit. In states like New York where women are allowed to go topfree in public, should women have the equal right to go topfree in private settings like yoga studios even when management may have issue with it? Let us know what you think.

It's been a while

Hi everyone. It been a while since we've posted here. We've been mostly been keeping busy with our Facebook page. We'll be posting some more stuff here soon, but for today I just want to mention the Outdoor Co-Ed Topless Book Society. They are based out of New York City, although I wonder if the group will start having members in other cities. They have a Facebook page that has many followers. The photos on the Facebook sort of safe for work, but there main page is NSFW. Here is one of our favorite photos from the group.

Recent events involving topfreedom

So it's been a bit since we've posted anything here. Sorry about that. Life has been busy.

So we've decided to post about a couple of recent events involving the exercise of topfreedom rights.

The first involves a art performance event in New York City organised by Zefrey Throwell. At the event three people were arrested, one of which being a woman exercising her topfreedom rights while walking an imaginary dog. All three individuals recently went to court, and the charges against them were dropped. More details can be found at the Young Naturists America blog.

The other recent event involves the Occupy Wall Street event in New York City. A few women involved in the event chose to exercise their topfreedom rights. There was a minor incident involving local law enforcement. A description about the incident by one of the women can be found in this youtube video.

If you have information about any other recent events let us know and we will try to share the news.

Topfreedom Picnic

In anticipation of the National Go-Topless Day celebrations I am trying to organize a topfreedom picnic in Albany. There is already an annual celebration in NYC.

The plan is to have a picnic on the west lawn of the Capital Building in downtown Albany. A facebook event has been created, and I encourage everyone to indicate their intentions to participate on that page and to invite their friends. Please encourage any female friends to go, I hope that it doesn't turn out to be one woman and ten men, or some other lopsided ratio of the genders.

On a side note, in an upcoming post I am planning to talk about efforts to bring about equal topfreedom rights in Massachusetts.
