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.

Do you think those two things are separate?

What year do you think this is? 1830 whatever?

She’d just argue that it’s “art” probably…

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.

But not Dublin! Those catholic bastards…

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

I too love drinking cathol

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.
