NYC Book Club Goes Topless 'To Make Reading Sexy,' Succeeds (NSFW PHOTOS)

NYC Book Club Goes Topless 'To Make Reading Sexy,' Succeeds (NSFW PHOTOS)

It's spring in New York City, and that means the city's most topless literary club is back in action. Members of the The Outdoor Co-Ed Topless Pulp Fiction Appreciation Society bared their breasts in Central Park on Friday, and then again Saturday while lounging on the rooftop sundeck of a certain "nude-friendly, gay-friendly, everything-friendly boutique hotel."

The reading material included, of course, some pulp fiction titles like "Hunt Through The Cradle of Fear," "Borderline," as well as "Abraham Lincoln, Presidential Fu*k Machine," and, er, "Moby Dick."

For the uninitiated, OCETPFAS formed a few years ago. It's the group's mission to "make reading sexy," as well as remind New Yorkers that toplessness is very legal in New York City.

Take a NSFW scroll below. And if you're interested in joining the OCETPFAS, find out where the group meets next here or follow them on Twitter.

The Power of the Press
May 6, 2014

Yesterday the Huffington Post reported on our adventures: http://goo.gl/L9ZDUK. Then so did Oyster Magazine: http://www.oystermag.com/nyc-s-topless-book-club-nsfw . Then an Italian radio station’s website. Then Tucker Carlson’s The Daily Caller.

And lo and behold, we suddenly got inquiries from a whole bunch of cool women excited to discover that we exist and eager to join us at our next event. We couldn’t be more pleased. The word is spreading! And we can wait to meet our newest members.

Reminder: If you’re reading this and think you might enjoy taking part, drop us a note at toplesspulpfiction[AT]gmail[DOT]com. The summer is coming (slowly, but it’s coming). Wouldn’t you like to feel the warm sun and cool breeze on your breasts rather than an underwire or too-tight sports bra…?

Jessica Krigsman Sues NYPD After Arrest For Being Topless In Brooklyn Park


A Brooklyn woman is suing the NYPD after she was arrested in a Gravesend park for sitting on a bench topless.

The New York Post reports 24-year-old Jessica Krigsman was sunbathing in Calvert Vaux Park in July of last year, when she was approached by two officers, one female, and ordered to put her shirt back on.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed on Monday, Krigsman responded by citing a 1992 law permitting women to go topless in public.

“I’m like, what? Haven’t you heard of People v. Santorelli?" Krigsman told The Post. "This has been legal since the ’90s. Call your supervisor!”
