BOULDER, Colo. - A Colorado woman who likes to garden wearing only a yellow thong and pink gloves has won her fight with her landlords, who wanted her to cover up.

Boulder Housing Partners has decided not to outlaw tenants from going topless outside. That will allow 52-year-old Catharine Pierce to keep gardening the way she likes.

Betsey Martens with the city housing authority noted Wednesday that the Boulder City Council recently voted to continue to exempt female toplessness from a ban on public nudity. Martens said the council's action reflects the community's values.

The housing authority had threatened to evict Pierce and her husband, Robert, after getting complaints from neighbors and passers-by.

1. Yeah, this story was in the papers in Boulder today. What can I say? Boulder is weird.

Legal toplessness though. Not opposed to that one... :hide:

Just a theory.

10. They shouldn't allow her to do that

I mean, the thong and gloves should at least match, right ? :evilgrin:

13. good.there is a man in my small town who wears a thong to garden and he gets shot at

and the city harasses him all the time.
he still fights to do so in a town of 5000 people.
and he does it anyway. legally, he is covered.

its a beach town for petes sake.

its just homophobia against this guy and he knows it.

I would post his website and pics but I dont want him to get harassed online.

he is a very nice man.

so good for her.
