An interview with the topless advocate

Moira Johnston, the activist who has been raising awareness that it's OK and perfectly legal for women to be topless in the city, continues to receive attention. (Amazing, huh?)

The Post has a brief today about her...


Also, via Gothamist, we learn that Joey Boots filmed a video interview with her the other day at Union Square. Highlights include the man who says she is "going against God's law." She's topless here, so NSFW...

    I like that she wears a necklace. Never forget to accessorize. It makes the outfit.

    I love how Joey handles the morons with their religious arguments. I also love the chubby woman toward the end who is wearing a top her boobs are spilling out of but criticizing this girl for showing some nipple.

    I just think it's a shame that she is also pursuing her agenda by causing real trouble for multiple yoga studios in nyc

    this person clearly has no issue with exposing herself to children who happen to be on the street, something which should land her and her small boobies in riker's for a night or two.

    "exposing herself to children" Sorry, but I don't get the problem. What does she have that children should be worried about? We all have nipples, even children. I don't recall that there is anything bad or evil about them. She's not doing anything to any child. And there's nothing a child can't see men showing on a basketball court on a hot day. What's the problem?
