VENICE BEACH "FREE YOUR BREASTS"
DEMONSTRATION LETS IT ALL HANG OUT ... AND DOWN ... ALMOST
![]() Dateline Venice Beach, CA Several hundred participants in Gotopless Day showed up on the Venice Beach boardwalk at Navy St. to make their voices heard and, for a few, to let their breasts be seen in public ... almost. Owing to laws, either in California or the City of Los Angeles, female participants in the event wore pasties some of which bore the likeness of an honest-to-goodness nipple! The August 22, 2011 event was encouraged, if not somehow sponsored, by Gotopless.org who's mission is equal topless rights for all. Of course Gotopless.org's primary objective is to free women from bra bondage and inhibitions which surround the baring of breasts in public, even according to a website video in subway cars. In lieu of social acceptance for that objective, the organization demands equal rights by requiring male adherence to the same dress standards as women making it illegal for men to bare their chests in public. Indeed a good percentage of demonstrators were men wearing bra tops and pasties, a not-so-unusual occurrence for that venue. Regardless the legitimacy of the cause, only a handful of women were actually observed stripping down to pasties in what was billed as a "2 million boob march." |
