“From dancers to cartoon characters to artists, Times Square is chock-full of street performers. But there is one particular group that has caught Mayor Bill de Blasio's attention as of late.
With New York City tabloids working overtime to spotlight the "desnudas," or topless female performers, de Blasio is considering a crackdown on the practice. The scantily clad ladies, often young Latina women who work long hours and deal with groping tourists, are among the various Times Square acts that have been targeted with tougher restrictions within the past year.
While baring one's breasts in public is legal in New York City (and has been since 1992), the mayor has scrutinized the women who pose for tips at the tourist attraction and is hoping to limit the practice.”
