    It’s legal to be topless in New York. She didn’t commit a crime or anything.

      It’s legal to be topless in NYC as long as it’s not for “sexual reasons” (whatever that means)— so this particular case might be something of a legal debate… but I don’t see any cop bothering to arrest her for it. Shockingly, they don’t care.

          Yeah, you’d be surprised about how much that wouldn’t fly with the NYPD. I watch Matthew Silver run into the Union Sq. Whole Foods in a Speedo in a legit performance art piece.

          The cops had little respect for that.

          I did, tho. After he managed to escape, we met up after and smoked a spliff. Then I made it to class at Parsons.

          That guy was very interesting to know while I was an undergrad at design school.

      I’m a catholic, but I’m just addicted to cats.

      Did I mention legality? I don’t find topless necessarily rude the same way I don’t find hands to be rude, but if someone gave me the middle finger, that changes things.

      Whenever I’ve been in NYC, there’s always someone desperately trying to be seen.
