Mostly when we hold our topless events it’s in a park — Central Park, Washington Square Park, what-have-you. Lacking private back yards, parks are where New Yorkers go when they want to get a little sun, and seeing someone less than fully dressed in the park isn’t so very unusual.
But what about traveling to and from the park? Most of us choose to wait until we’re on the grass and surrounded by trees before taking our tops off. But not all. And we want to salute those of our members who are bold enough to take this extra step in the direction of feeling comfortable outdoors in our freedom-loving city.
If men can go top-free on the city streets (and they can, and they do — you see plenty of shirtless male joggers this time of year), women should be able to do it as well, free from shame or criticism.
And we’re very happy to report that women can. It takes a certain amount of confidence and DGAF — but if you’ve got those things, there’s no sidewalk you can’t proudly walk down, no intersection you can’t cross, with your shoulders back, your chin up, and your chest proudly bare.
Yes, even in the subway.
Want to try it? 🙂 Write to us at toplesspulpfiction@gmail.com — we’ll find the event that’s right for you.
That’s what I love about NYC unless you’re like actively murdering someone in the street in broad daylight, and maybe even then, not only can you do pretty much whatever you want, but the more unusual the thing you’re doing, people will go out of their way to ignore you that much harder
Do I spot some new tattoos? Would be nice to see some close-ups of those together with the cat tattoo.
The last picture reminds me of 1992, when I was riding the subway reading the newspaper article about the decision of The People vs. Santorelli. The ruling sounded fair, but I looked around the sedate crowd on the train and thought that newly established freedom will never have an impact on typical life in New York such as this. And while that now incorrect prediction was a reflection of the general public mindset of the day, I am glad to see over 25 years later with a new generation leading the change, your cause has actually reached the mainstream of the subway that once seemed impossible.
The freedom enjoyed there is so lovely as shown by the photos. While topfree should be allowed everywhere we also wish that there designated full nudity places as well.
Congratulations on your efforts to promote body positivity! It’s a delight to see strong, confident women standing in contrast to the conformity of cloth.
Wish I could be there to join you and support your advocacy! Alas, much too far away. Keep up the good work and may many happy naked & bare breasted adventures come your way!
