Stay tuned for slide show -- Anatoly is in the kitchen cooking that up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In Maine (as in New York, as of 1992), it&#8217;s legal for women to expose their breasts anywhere a man can take his shirt off &#8212; but it&#8217;s &#8220;frowned upon,&#8221; according to participants in the Breast March for Freedom (my descriptive term). About 50 women walked topless from Longfellow Square to Tommy&#8217;s Park on a beautiful spring day, followed by a small mob of supporters, onlookers, tons of photographers and a police escort. It started with an idea and a Facebook page, which apparently went viral on a local level. I didn&#8217;t see anyone frowning. I can confirm that the women actually were topless &#8212; it wasn&#8217;t an illusion created by nude lingerie or anything like that. Stay tuned for a slide show of the event, which I will link from this blog entry when it&#8217;s ready. Okay!
