Colorado city officials have removed a topless ban from city law that inspired a Free the Nipple lawsuit.
The Coloradoan reported that Fort Collins City Council agreed Tuesday to remove language in the public nudity code that barred women and girls over age 10 from exposing their breasts in public.
City officials say the ban is expected to be removed Sept. 17.
Officials say a district court judge and a federal appeals court have ruled against the policy in the past two years.

Until you realize it's ugly fat-ass feminists that are going to take advantage of this, not the hotties you're thinking of.

Maybe a little more sunburn up at Colorado altitudes...

Actually, I picture it kind of evolving into a metropolitan Scandinavia kind of scene with topless sunbathing in the parks at lunchtime in the summer - not everywhere, not all the time, but also not scandalous or even remarkable when it does happen.
Fort Collins, only 40 years behind Copenhagen and Amsterdam, not bad for an upstart colony full of puritan prudes.

I guess the AC above has never been around Boulder, Colorado in the summer. Also seems the Colorado City folks are about 45 years behind places around central California places like San Francisco, Santa Clara County, Santa Cruz County, Monterey Country, etc.

The nude beaches in Florida are mostly disappointing... but not entirely.

Actually if miniskirts and pushups are any indication, it's mostly going to be a lot of poor high-school girls competing for status in the only way they can without the money for pretty things: Dressing scantly.
To put it in laymen terms, since bras and tight shirts were already dirt cheap, they weren't a "barrier of entry". So, the loosening of "market regulations" is going to benefit young and naturally symmetric women and those with enough money for a cosmetic surgery while hurting the ability of older and/or poorer women to compete over status and men.

Sorry to shower on the parade of comments in this thread. Actually, no I'm not. We should be celebrating the win-win here not grousing about how bad most women look. Laws that require women to cover up have been a blatant and obvious discrimination against women, so this is a win. And if women want to undress, then that's a win for anyone (guy or gal) who wants to enjoy what they are offering. If you guys can't appreciate bodies that didn't just turn eighteen or aren't perfectly symmetrical or aren't under 100 pounds or are too hairy or have moles in the wrong spot, then you don't know how to appreciate women. I find most women (and guys) beautiful -- not just what hollywood thinks I should enjoy.
