Topless Women Is Art?

Jill Coccaro, also known to many as Phoenix Feeley, is fast becoming a household name. The woman who bared her top half two years ago while promoting her art show has made breasts a very profitable marketing scheme.
Two years ago, Coccaro thought that going bare-breasted down the streets of New York would be a great marketing stunt. Unfortunately, that night it landed her in jail. Despite a 1992 New York state appeals court ruling that stated women had the same right to be topless as men, Coccaro found herself in jail with an indecent exposure charge.
She told press that she was treated rudely and was even sent for a psychological evaluation. Coccaro cashed in the big bucks from being arrested with a $29,000 settlement with the city of New York.
Who knew that bare breasts could be worth so much? I think it is another example of our society lowering its standards. Coccaro should have been arrested for indecent exposure. What are we saying to our kids? Our daughters? But then again, if mine were perky. . .no wait-I know I would never walk the streets of New York topless. I have some dignity!
Of course these are just my thoughts, I would love to hear yours?
