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.

    Five years ago, a woman was jailed on a Fat Tuesday celebration in Seattle's pioneer square for exposing her breasts, on a city statute from the 1880's. Reports are there were more than a few (including her two companions wearing lots of beaded necklaces of course) doing the same thing!
    Oh yeah, the arresting officers were on horseback!
    She was freed after a few days.

    Seattle, it's time to go topless!
