Why all the breathless reporting...."boobs sighted in Venice". Grow up, get over it. They are only breasts....all sizes, shapes, colors, etc. Some are used to feed babies, others are just decorative...lots of them are cute, and 50% of the population has a pair. Grow up. Women should have the right to go shirtless in exactly the same manner men seem to have that right. Beaches, lakes, rivers...parks, front lawns, bike riding...all seem like perfect places and activities for both genders to go "topless". Hopefully, someday, womens breasts will be just that..breasts..and not the fodder for some juvenile reporting a "sighting". Grow up.

We went a did an episode of our show down there -- it's on my site. I only saw women with fake nipples on, but parking was a bear and we got there late. Strange event. It was interesting to shoot and do interviews.

I have pics of women without the fake nipples on! I was there before the march started, I captured plenty of topless women without fake nipples. I also have photos of the fake nipples being applied before they marched down the Venice Beach boardwalk. The pics will be posted sometime next week. Tom

Better fake than none. As Frank Zappa once said (paraphrased) a boob is just a blob of fat without the nipple.

I'm back! Topless, yes, but mostly guys. I'd say 90% of people wore stickers or fake nipples on their nipples. Sorry guys...

I'm actually going on a bike ride today from SM to Hermosa, so I'll pass right by this. Should be interesting...

There are no people walking around topless in New York and to emulate New York is to take a step back. No more New York
