National Go Topless protest Day 2010
 

Sunday, Aug 22nd is National Go Topless Protest Day. The website (gotopless.org) that is promoting this lists ten or so cities that will be holding protests, but I tend to think there will be more cities where women are going to be topless in public, but just not organized enough or officially registered to be included on the site. The following cities are listed as having protests:

New York City
Venice BEach, Ca
Chicago
Miami Beach
Austin, Tx
Seattle
Oahu, Hawaii
Denver, Co
San Francisco

Now if a city like Portland, OR for example was also going to have a protest, i would have no way of knowing about it unless it got Twittered or maybe its at Facebook or Yahoo. Same for other cities. So lets do some surfing and digging, and report on anything we find here. This event should not be hard to photograph wherever it is held, as publicity matters and is in fact encouraged. Then after the 22nd, we can also put pics here.

Seattle's protest is going to take place at Hempfest, a hippie festival north of downtown at a park on Puget Sound.
I hear its going to be a bit "nippy" for nips, but hey, that makes them "stand out" in the crowd, too......:)

I'm looking forward to the pics.

I was in Seattle today, at the hempfest, and I didn't find anyone in topless!!
I'm so disappointed... :(

My originals from the New York event.

:D!!!

excellent work!!

thanks!

I have a FLICKR link but cant post it until I have 10 posts. :(

i really wish austin wasnt 6 hours away, because i would be the happiest man alive yesterday:D

Here's a few from the FLICKR account.

You can post it with hxxp, to make it a non-active link. We prefer that you post Flickr links this way anyway, even if you do have 10 posts.

Thanks

Here are a few more of my original shots from New York.

Here it is:

Luposette- Like you, I was at hempfest. I went to walk around and see what was up? Around 7pm or so there was a girl walking around the middle of the park with marijuana leaves covering her nipples and a green thong on.

The info I got about toplessness (protest) at Hempfest came from here:

hxxp://www.gotopless.org/news.php?item.49.1

If it did not happen, then that would be a bit strange. but let's wait a bit longer for pics. Sorry to all that came away disappointed. I considered venturing up to Seattle myself and I know what it is like to come away from an event empty handed.

There are now quite a few at flickr from LA, but as in past years nipples were covered, so I won't bother posting any; these are from SF. Here pretty well uniquely, based on what we've seen from B2B, WNBR, Folsom, Dore, St. Stupid and so on, "Go Topless Day" is an occasion for wearing more, not less, than at other events!

since that is the "Naked Guy" in your second pic, I'd check out his Flickr stream.....

Which also once again just goes to show you that all these events mean one and only one thing to a lot of the people that participate - and in the case of the men, attending an event for women where there is nothing to be gained politically from showing your bod....

This is just about the end of my usable shots. This smaller file size may be a bit more user friendly.

This Naked Guy and Sarah Kay. I almost expect to see Earth Friend Gen...

same ol' faces (and other parts)..

interesting tweet
 

dug this up on twitter today. I don't know if they are refering to Portland OR or Portland, Maine.

The Tweet: "Two dozen women marched topless in Portland today, in what I can only assume was a campaign to get me to move there. Woo hoo."

The tweet was posted three days ago, so the day refered to was the 22nd.

OK, lets get cracking and find some pics! Two doen is a lot of women, and if it was in my town, I missed it (like I feared). But if it was in Maine (very possible), then who the heck was there with their camera?!

Klondike

lots of pics at Flickr. Search on "topless" or "raelians" or....

here are some below but there are more. Sites are NYC and Venice Beach

KLondike

Sarah Kay's wearing more clothes than usual there. :rolleyes: Hell, I don't think I've ever seen a single pic of her wearing anything before.

Fango

Drawn on eyelashes. :p

Great pics!

Vids here if interested:

Eyebrows.

Which you can pluck out if you're bored and staring in the mirror waiting for the speed to wear off.

Okay, my faith in SF has been restored; after the event (picture 1, posted in a shameless attempt to attract fango's thanks, knowing what he thinks of Sara Kay), as documented by two new pictures from thisnakedguy (2&3), this transpired:


"On Sunday, August 22 about 7 North American cities celebrated GoTopless Day, which is a call for equal breast freedom for men and women. The San Francisco venue was by the Vallaincourt Fountain in Justin Herman Plaza. SaraKay, the hostess of the tv show hxxp://www.freebodyculture.blip.tv, was the primary organizer of the event. There were acoustic musicians. At the event, women went topfree and men wore bras. George Davis wore pasties because no one should wear a bra. Bras constrict the intercoastal muscles which are used for breathing.
It was a nice warm sunny day and we had a good time.
After the event; Gypsy Taub, who is the hostess for a tv show hxxp://www.mynakedtruth.tv, Matt, Lloyd, Bare, and George Davis went on a campaign walk along the Embarcadero. During the walk, a KTVU news truck pulled up and asked if they could interview us. Because of the hot weather that day and an even hotter forcast for Monday, they said that they were doing a story on “Spare the Air Day” to decrease enrgy consuption and lower pollutants in the air on hot days. Bare suggested to the crew that they do a “Spare the Clothes Day” feature which they happily did. The feature was the opening news item on the 10 O’Clock news show on KTVU (channel 2, a Fox affiliate). A clip of this newsbroadcast is posted at hxxp://www.funkytv.com/video/view/1497."

Any who have faster-than-dialup may check that latter non-hotlinked video link; despite the fact that in my dear dead days of Bay Area residence KTVU was an independent non-network affiliate station, I don't hold out much hope, given current FCC policy, that you'll see this much unpixellated nudity there...

Pretty awesome, Crispus -

I take it Gypsy Taub is the fully nude woman? I really applaud her "going above and beyond the call of duty" on national topless protest day. We should all be thankful that she has restored our faith in SF naked culture!

I don't understand why in at least one city the women are wearing pasties. It sort of defeats the whole purpose of their rally. Anyway, thanks for the pictures, I was actually at the one in nyc and couldn't believe the best looking chick there was some dirty homeless girl with drawn in eyebrows and weird hair. She had great tits though.

some I found
 

hope they are not repost

Those are some definite "If you've got it, flaunt it" ladies there.

Thanks

Fango

National Go Topless, Venice CA
 

A few I took at Venice Beach CA

And that is why she is awesome. Great find.

Even though this event is long passed, I thought I would finally post the absolute last of my decent shots. Many of the same people, but still worth it I think.

It's never too late for topless women or original pics.

Thanks

Fango

Better late than never! Here's some pics from the Austin, TX protest.

I was mistaken. I still had some originals from last year's NYC event. I can't make it to the 2 million boob march in Washington D.C., but I will try to get to NY again for this year's National Go Topless Day.

love the topless babe

I've always had a thing for this participant since I first spotted her. I know she was in the 2008, 2009 and 2010 NYC events, but haven't seen her since. Some of these I'm sure are from some of the earlier two of those, but wanted to keep them together. Just found these at various places. If anyone has anymore more to share, please do!

Here are a few more of my favorite.

I have a few originals in response to your request.

Greatly appreciated!

Video?
 

Does anyone know if there is video out there of this event? 2010 specifically. I'd take 2008 or 2009 too. I've seen videos of years after but not these years.

Thanks in advance.
