BOULDER, Colo. -- A nudist in Boulder who was threatened with eviction last spring for gardening outside wearing only pasties and a thong has caused another stir by gardening topless.

At least four callers told police 52-year-old Catharine Pierce was in her yard topless on Wednesday. State law prohibits exposed genitals, but Pierce was wearing a thong and gardening gloves.

Police spokeswoman Sarah Huntley says an officer told Pierce to consider wearing a shirt because children at the school across the street were playing outside.

Pierce's husband then complained to police. Huntley says a police supervisor agreed with Pierce's husband that Pierce wasn't breaking any laws.

Boulder is considering expanding its anti-nudity law.

You'd think people would have more important things to complain about than a set of ######.

Probably has more to do with ###### being exposed near a school. Parents calling from their cell phones while dropping junior off/picking up at school.

But yes, worse things than boobies flopping about.

How is it ok for a 52 year old woman to be gardening topless opposite a school full of kids? What if this was a 52 year old male with his wang out in front of a school? I understand that wang and breast are different but that's just as indecent.

I have nothing against a pair of knockers( I do against a 52 year old pair) but I sure as hell wouldn't want my kids to have to witness that..

No genitals, otherwise fine and dandy.

So you have a couple of boulders hanging in Boulder. (I know, bad pun).

I agree. Right across the road from a school is not the place for that. If she wants to do that she can move into the mountains or something. I bet Boulder will be passing a law to prevent this soon.

Nothing wrong with it I suppose, no one would complain if a male was gardening topless and there's not much difference really. . people just aren't used to it.

OMG boobies? Jeez people its part of the human body. Probably 5 years ago, those kids were sucking some boobies

Got to love nerds. Any mention of ###### and they're all salivating. Haven't you guys figured it out by now? Only the ugly ones give the free shows.

Might have been more unacceptable if she was wearing pants, but a thong?? You can't go outside in a thong even if you're wearing a shirt... hello? lol

They're not allowed to go topless, but where I live, I see women out in thongs all the time. Nothing wrong with it.

isnt it abit cold up there to be wearing so little? or are these people just those kinds of people...

actually its been comfy, in the 60s... but not for long...

I think that if she's in her own yard, she has every right to wear what she was wearing. Her property, her body, her choice. Same goes if a guy wants to wear a thong and garden.

guess you're right... maybe the city also has the right to erect a huge sign right outside her yard, since it is not on her property... then when she complains about it, it wouldnt be that different from the people who complained about seeing her topless

I suppose it would depend on where the sign is and how big it is, but really, a city is not an individual and so the rights of each and the laws regarding each are very different. You'd have a much better argument defending protecting the children if they could see her clearly from their school. I wouldn't want my child to come out of school and see someone in their yard doing something I don't want my child to see, but it means that either I can't protect my child from seeing that, or people who are on their own property are going to lose some personal freedom. Either way it's kind of sad.

if a man can go topless then women should be able to aswell.

I agree, but the majority in this country are very prudish.

[itzwolf]

I really don't see the big deal... as long as genitals are covered big deal, oh no a set of 52 year old breats... :woot:

We go so overboard about nudity it's like it's the ultimate sin in life... there really are more important matters to be concerned with. :unsure:

Even on your property if you do something that effects others, like offending them by gardening in the nude, then the city has a right to step in a pass a law that covers that (so to speak).
