[Topfree] Artist Holly Van Voast, In Court Again After Stripping In New York's St Patrick's Cathedral

Ativist Holly Van Voast was hauled back in court yesterday for her latest stunt – going [topfree] in St Patrick’s Cathedral, New York.

After facing the judge fully dressed, Van Voast was dismissed thanks to a 1992 state appellate court ruling which states women are allowed to go [topfree] in public.

The 46-year-old then exited the court and promptly exposed her breasts to the waiting media.

The photographer and performance artist has so far displayed her wares at Grand Central Station, the Statue of Liberty and on the Staten Island Ferry.

Having filmed her latest stunt, Von Voast informed the New York Daily News: “I want to have a reality show. Nothing works like t***.”

Sporting a mop of unruly blonde hair, a drawn on moustache and frequently bare breasts, Van Voast often performs under her transgender alter-ego Harvey Van Toast.

Harvey, Van Voast claims, was conceived to draw attention to the need to protect art and to entertain the public.


She told DNAinfo: "This is what New York is begging for right now — something kind of funny, a little outrageous. Something that blows your mind.”

Naked Rambler Nigel Keer Fined £315 For Offending Other Walkers [News]

This article was taken from metro.co.uk:



Nigel Keer was wearing nothing but a backpack, boots and a baseball cap when he met a woman walking her dog on October 2 last year.

Off-duty police officer PC Mark Buxton, who was out running, arrested Mr Keer after spotting the woman who looked distressed.

PC Buxton told Leeds Magistrates' Court: 'She had a disgusted frown across her face.

'I saw her turning around, I could tell she was upset about something.'

The officer approached the naked rambler and ordered him to get dressed, which he did.

PC Buxton added: 'I was so shocked and surprised - and to some degree alarmed - by what I had just seen.'



Mr Kerr claimed the woman referred to by the police officer didn't exist and said he'd kept score of the number of positive and negative reactions he'd received during his stroll that day, with a score of 15-0 in his favour.

However, despite his protests, he was found guilty of a public order offence.

Judge Christopher Darnton said: 'I do accept that Mr Keer is a naturist but I note with some interest that he would not walk with his clothes off in the city centre of Leeds.

'On this occasion a lady was clearly distressed by what she had seen going on.'

Breasts are a moral ‘threat’: Court rules topless sunbathing violates 'public sensibilities

An artist crusading for the right to sunbathe topless in New Jersey beach town has lost her bid after an appeals panel ruled baring breasts violates 'the public's moral sensibilities.'

Phoenix Feeley, aka Jill Coccaro, won a settlement for going topless in New York City six years ago, but must keep covered in the Garden State.

The two-judge panel - one male and one female - ruled Wednesday against Ms Coccaro's challenge to Spring Lake's public nudity law…
