As you were warned, there's a damn good reason why you might see a semi-nude woman walking around NYC today. It's National Go Topless Day, a celebration of women's legal right to bare their breasts in public in NYC.
Topless women and men, including topless activists Moira Johnston (above left) and Holly Van Voast (see below), are hanging out in Times Square and Bryant Park right now—check out some tweets, and a few NSFW pics, below.
So far, the rally is getting mixed reviews from tweeters, best summed up by two tweets. "Topless rally in Bryant park. 6 babes, 1,000 creepy guys #confusingmessage," tweeted JoAnna Dohtery. "Topless rights march in Bryant Park....boobs..." countered Chris Harrison. We'll have a full recap of the event later today.
Here in Bryant Park and not a bare boob in sight. Might be a bust. Pun intended.

There is a topless rally in Times Square. I would recommend coming down, but it's mostly old ladies or hippies.
