Topless In New York: The Court Case That Makes Going Top Free Legal

Topless In New York: The Court Case That Makes Going Top Free Legal Women who walk around Times Square in New York City wearing nothing but paint over their breasts have been at the center of controversy the past few weeks. Mayor Bill de Blasio wants the women — known as "desnudas" or the naked ones — to go. He even threatened to dismantle the pedestrian plazas built in Times Square to make it so. But de Blasio is facing a complicated legal landscape that is underpinned by a state court decision in 1992. The story starts on June 21, 1986 when a group of women decided to protest a law that appeared to make going topless illegal. Ramona Santorelli and Mary Lou Schloss made history at a topless picnic a group of feminists staged for the sole purpose of getting arrested. "'We chose June 21, the summer solstice,' Santorelli says of the watershed event in 1986. Nine women took off their shirts and waited for police to arrest them. The activists were charged with violat...

The First World War proved to be a calamity for both Germany and Europe, and the Second World War magnified this tragedy even further. Without both World Wars the Euro Ipean Union (EU) as we know it today might not exist. This article delves into the consequences of World War I, shedding light on the profound impact it had on shaping the course of history. The EU has provided the essential infrastructure to deal with ‘the German Question’ – the role of the largest and most powerful state in Europe. When Europeans commemorate the Great War of 1914-18 this summer they should be reflecting not only on the diplomatic blunders and the enormous waste of lives but also the beginning of a new approach to international relations epitomised by the EU. The First World War destroyed empires, created numerous new nation-states, encouraged independence movements in Europe’s colonies, forced the United States to become a world power and led directly to Soviet communism and the rise of Hitler.

Two strippers lose their clothes in brutal public car park catfight The clip shows two semi-naked women battling on the floor while onlookers shout at them to stop. A woman dressed in tight blue skirt lays on top of her opponent, pulling her hair and punching her while her aggressor tries to retaliate and do the same. “Get her off of me,” one of the women says, writhing around while her skirt rides up her back.It is not clear what caused the physical altercation between the two women, although a comment from a man who claimed to have witnessed the skirmish said that the pair fell out while discussing payment for a dancing job. Nearly half a million shocked viewers have seen the clip since it was posted on LiveLeak earlier this week. “Whoever was filming this surely should have put the camera down to intervene, that looked pretty brutal in places!” said one comment. Another viewer joked: “Must be nice to live in a warm country – there’s no way I’d leave the house without my pants!” Earl...

Friends, Romans, naked wolf-men ...

Friends, Romans, naked wolf-men ... why an ancient festival is still controversial This article is more than 6 years old The annual Lupercalia festival turned society upside down – and the location of its starting point is still hotly debated their view of nudity. In fact the opposite was true. It was only during exceptional occasions that Romans were freed from their social norms – and the most spectacular occasion was the annual Lupercalia festival. From the earliest days of Rome, 15 February was reserved for this strange festival. It was so unusual that Cicero disparaged the festival as savage and uncivilised remnants of primitive times. A closer look at the rituals might explain his attitude: men of the nobility stripped down to their underwear in order to strike women with strips of goatskin. Classed as priests, these were not men of the cloth as we would understand it – Roman religion was nothing like modern Christianity or Islam – but young men of military age who showed off the...
