The right to bare all bared in paper

Well, it is under its section called “Eye Openers.”

Metro riders may have gotten a shock Tuesday morning when opening the Washington Post’s Express. The second page featured a practically naked woman gracing almost half the page.

The picture shows a topless woman on Venice Beach, Calif., with two small metal stars covering her just enough it make it legal.

The woman is one of thousands who went shirt-free during the weekend as part of “National Go Topless Day,” a day that protests the law that men can go topless, but women cannot. The organization Go Topless claims the equality granted by the 14th Amendment allows them the same chest-bearing rights as men.

Washington Post Ombudsman said he had not received any complaints on the photo.  Inquiries with the Express went unanswered
