The temperature was reaching 100 degrees as the women of Austin shed their tops for National Go Topless Day.

About 100 people gathered on the corner of Sixth St. and Congress Ave. at noon to witness the spectacle. I only saw six topless women...let's just say there were more members of the media and Austin Police force than there were bare breasts. John Kelso from the Austin American-Statesman and Austin Post contributor and KOOP 91.7 host David Kobierowski were among the slightly disturbed media attendees.

.  "I don't like spectacles, but this has made me think about the bigger picture of nudity in society," said Kobierowski.

Kobierowski said he spoke to an APD officer who told him it is completely legal for women to bare their breasts in Austin. The protestors are hoping to spread this particular freedom to the rest of Texas.

Adding to the absurdity were men with bikini tops or band-aids over their nipples to stand in solidarity with women who have to cover up. There were more men participating than women, which most of the spectators found rather disappointing.

Overall, it was a lackluster event for Austin. The group marched down Sixth, and the funniest moment was when an 11 year-old caught sight of the spectacle just before his mother shielded his eyes in horror. The moment was too quick to catch on camera.
