Who is the topless woman at the Wisconsin state Capitol?

Whether on Reddit, Facebook, or eavesdropping around downtown, Lili Luxe is creating a buzz by just sitting quietly on the steps of the Wisconsin state Capitol — sans shirt.

“I had a meltdown the Monday after [Roe v. Wade] was overturned. Everyone was just going to work like no one cares. It was just all too normal,” Luxe tells Isthmus. “So I decided to do this.”

For two weeks straight, Luxe has spent her lunch break topless outside the Capitol — which she points out wouldn’t turn heads if she were a man. She usually strolls around the Square and then sits underneath the Forward statue at the top of State Street. Luxe has also been biking around town topless and attending outdoors events like the recent Art Fair on the Square. Sometimes she’s joined by friends....

Isthmus joined Luxe on one of her daily topless jaunts downtown and more than a few passersby did double takes. Some avoided eye contact, there were a few smirks. But in general, no one seemed bothered or fazed.

“I realize that I’m going to be glared at but I think that’s mostly because a topless woman is not something you see often,” says Luxe. “I definitely get some looks. I've gotten some questions. But I get more positive feedback than I get negative feedback. If the worst reaction is the stink eye from someone, I can live with that.”
