Posted on 2014-09-042017-01-02 by davidwraith

One of my favorite things currently in existence is The Outdoor Co-ed Topless Pulp Fiction Appreciation Society. It’s a group of ladies in New York City who take advantage of their state’s laws allowing women to be topless anywhere that men are by (among other things) gathering in public parks to read books, topless.

Single-Breasted Swimsuits, Topless Equality & Body Image

Posted on 2014-05-272017-01-02 by davidwraith

[Author’s Note: This blog started out as a quick shout-out to the folks behind Monokini, a line of single-breasted swimsuits, but has since morphed into a rant about topless equality, gender identity and body image. Just watch my feet for a minute, I promise there’s a point to all this.] Monokini is a social art project […]

HuffPo Falls for Naked CrossFit Hoax

Posted on 2014-05-232014-05-23 by davidwraith
