Hi tainted_heart,

jumpstartme2 was being accurate, topless women walking around in public can be arrested for indecent exposure, at least in Nashville. Here's the law:  http://www.nac.oshkosh.net/StatesFrames/State_Laws_Frames/Tennessee_Laws/body_tennessee_laws.html

(A) "Nudity" or "state of nudity" means the showing of the bare human male or female genitals or pubic area with less than a fully opaque covering, the showing of the female breast with less than a fully opaque covering of the areola, or the showing of the covered male genitals in a discernibly turgid state. "Nudity" or "state of nudity" does not include a mother in the act of nursing the mother's baby;

But, it gets even funnier, a man has been arrested for indecent exposure because he bared his female looking breasts:

Anyway, this is an interesting and thought provoking discussion.

As it relates to the contests its a rather simple matter. If we want big prizes from corporate sponsors, we will present images that will not get them in trouble for "sexual harrassment" while showing the images in their board room.

Best wishes,
Lillian
