I saw the contest after I posted these pics, and entered some of them... One of the organizers said they may do it again hoping for it to become common to see women topless... If I hear about more marches I will be there with my camera and post more pictures... Hopefully more to come...

fantastic job.

i had no idea there was no law against being topless in Maine before this march, so i have to say the organizers succeeded in raising awareness.

why they started by marching past a porno shop (video expo, across the street from "joe's smoke shop") i have no idea.

Yeah, the more they do it, I'm afraid, the less tolerant the town will become. They'll go "Wait a minute, do we REALLY want to allow toplessness here". This is what has happened in Ashland, Or and Brattleboro, VT when people have flaunted relaxed nudity laws. Its cool to be able to say that toplessness is legal, but its also safe because no one really expects that women would actually take them up on their offer en masse. Do that, and the law will get changed in no time. My hat is off to these women and to Portland, but the dark forces are probably already circling the wagon......

I don't mean to be too cynical, though, as this whole thing is cool. Great thread and pics. This is something that we have not seen hardly at all in a sizeable American city. The fact that it was well attended and locally organized and took place in a busy downtown area - that is very rare and definately something to keep an eye on.

Oh cool - its catching on......

Lets wake the nation up. Call CNN. Call NBC. A little network exposure might spread this even further.

Seriously, I notice this is being followed at http://www.tera.ca. Might be worth checking back to find out how this is being viewed by the national topfreedom leaders.

i think i saw that UMO (that's University of Maine Orono) had some Earth Day naked green-painted bike riders. i saw a SFW pic on some news site but hopefully there's more out there.
