So two of my relatives were walking in New York City on Friday, around the public library on 42nd and 5th ave. They noticed that there was a crowd gathering by the steps, so they went to see what was going on. What it turned out to be was quite the scene- three women completely naked from head to toe, painted in the color green in order to represent the Statue of Liberty.

When I asked if this was allowed, they said it must be as the cops were near by yet did not confront them while they were in front of a big crowd.. I didn't know public nudity was allowed period, must less in NYC.. Not trolling here, but genuinely confused how this is allowed.

Full head to toe nudity is not allowed. Maybe they were wearing a really tiny thong or something? I don't know, I wasn't there.

However, it is legal for a woman to be topless anywhere a man can be topless. Sometimes you'll see topless women in the parks and such, but it's not often.

If they were painted head to toe in green, how could you possibly detect they weren't wearing thong underwear?

Just asking, especially after this model walked around naked (with a small thong though) and painted on jeans and no one really noticed, except for the guy at the end who snaps a picture of her butt.

As long as it's not a man I agree! Why complain about naked women?

This wouldn't bother me at all. Unless they were doing something offensive, why should I be bothered by nudity? Are you one of those people who can't stand the locker rooms in the gym?

.
If they were PAINTED, how do you KNOW they were completely naked?

Haven't you ever seen body art before?

If not, check here . Here is a patriotic painting.

Can you tell if they are naked or not? Are you SURE?

People are too hung up on the naked body anyway. Even YOU, OP, are naked underneath your clothes.....

They're probably wearing thong underwear, and they probably wandered over from Times Square.
