Topless Gardener Stops Traffic
By Wyatt Earp | March 19, 2010
A Colorado woman apparently needs to be unencumbered when pruning her azaleas. .
BOULDER, Colo. – A nudist in Boulder who was threatened with eviction last spring for gardening outside wearing only pasties and a thong has caused another stir by gardening topless. At least four callers told police 52-year-old Catharine Pierce was in her yard topless on Wednesday. State law prohibits exposed genitals, but Pierce was wearing a thong and gardening gloves.
52 years old??? I guess the bloom is off her rose. Heh.
Police spokeswoman Sarah Huntley said an officer told Pierce to consider wearing a shirt because children at the school across the street were playing outside.
Pierce’s husband then complained to police. Huntley said a police supervisor agreed with Pierce’s husband that Pierce wasn’t breaking any laws.
That’s true, unless you count the laws of good taste.

Either the neighbor women were jealous or she is a real eyesore.

Maybe if she was an “American Beauty”, no one would have complained?

Have you ever noticed that the topless women at the beach or the nudist women are always ones you don’t WANT to see naked?

Minuteman26 – Possibly a little of both.
Proof – I sure wouldn’t have!
LDIV – 52 years old? Good chance they are not what you want to see.
mrmacs – Agreed.
PhillipC – Yep, probably true for the guys who go there.

Many of the gents I see strutting around at the pool in the summer look like they need a C-cup and are about to give birth to twins. So while we’re all complaining, why is it that only middle aged, extremely hairy men with beer muscles wear Speedos?

Mrs. Crankipants – I can’t speak for every man, but those of us who are morbidly obese and hideously ugly wear shirts on the beach.

Oh stop, you are not morbidly obese or hideously ugly. Just out of curiosity, do you wear a Speedo?
March 20th, 2010 at 10:32 am
Mrs. C. One should never, ever, never, never, ever be that curious.

Americans are so puritan! I am all for nudity! Let it all hang out! Who gets hurt? Feminists should be all over this. If a man can be topless, than so should a woman. Equal rights for all!!

Jim, I think it’s fine to be curious. I also think that Speedos should only be worn by Olympic athletes and Europeans.
I agree Dannytheman, I’ve been to beaches in France where women are topless, and honestly- it’s not a big deal.

Mrs. Crankipants – No, sorry. My current bathing suit is red with white flowers – think Hawaiian – and it’s knee length. You can kind of see it HERE.
Jim – HEY! I’m right here!
Danny – But like they said in Seinfeld, there’s good naked and there’s bad naked.
Mrs. Crankipants – Wow, that’s hot. Let me know the next time you go to the Riviera.

The Speedo question was actually a ruse to get you to post a picture of yourself in a bathing suit!

Mrs. Crankipants – Well played, ma’am. Would have been a better shot, but the boy splashed sea water in my eyes.
