The mayor of New York fights against the naked breasts in Times Square<

They are naked - apart from a thong and painting on the breasts - and pose with you on the most famous place in New York in exchange for a few pieces.But these "street artists" as they like to introduce themselves, have trouble, despite their generous chest, their high heels and an N and a drawn on the buttocks, to conquer the heart of the New York press and even lessthat of the mayor of the city."It's not good," said Bill de Blasio.We will attack it in a very aggressive way.»»

State governor Andrew Cuomo would also like to see these young women leaving."I think it's illegal.I think we have to apply the law and clean it up. Et c'est exactement ce que nous allons faire»», a-t-il promis sur la chaîne de télévision locale NY1."It's a serious matter. Cela commence à me rappeler le temps où Times Square était mal famé»», a-t-il ajouté, osant une comparaison historique quelque peu exagérée.Before becoming the place on which tourists around the world come with family to make selfies in front of skyscrapers covered with light panels, Times Square was indeed a high place in drug trafficking and prostitution.Two shops that were done in the middle of porn cinemas, striptease clubs and glaucous peep shows.

"We love us"

So far, they were a dozen to come every day.But today, before the lifting of shields aroused by their presence, only a very small handful continues to challenge the authorities."Everyone has the right to have an opinion. S'il (le maire, NDLR) veut se débarrasser de nous, qu'il essaie !»» lance Saira Nicole." We are having fun. Nous sommes des artistes et les gens nous aiment»», renchérit sa collègue Angel.She sees nothing wrong in her profession and even considers him as a kind of feminist claim."The body of a woman should not be a sexual object. Un enfant ne devrait pas grandir en pensant que le corps d'une femme est quelque chose de purement sexuel»», avance-t-elle.

But Times Square Alliance - the association which oversees the activities of the neighborhood - underlines that visitors complain not only of these women with naked breasts covered with painting but also people disguised as characters from comics.A survey shows that 45 % of the people working around Times Square had unpleasant experience with these street artists who are on the Channel or have witnessed an incident.

And what does one of the pillars of the square, the "Naked Cowboy" think?

For 16 years, whether it rains or sells, Robert Burck has been installing on Times Square in white briefs, with a matching cowboy hat and boots, the guitar in a shoulder strap.To mark his difference and show that he disapproves of the behavior of these topless artists, he even wore a bikini top in the colors of the American flag. « J'essaye de leur apprendre les bonnes manières»», plaisante-t-il dans un entretien qu'il accordé en costume et en situation.He emphasizes that unlike these street artists, waiting for him to come to him. « Je pense qu'ils ont franchi une ligne rouge : ils font la manche de façon très agressive»», estime-t-il."We can be daring, but we must not distinguish ourselves too much. Il ne faut surtout pas énerver tout le monde et devenir célèbre parce qu'on est un idiot»», conseille le vétéran.

Today, it is completely legal to go to naked in New York.The first amendment to the United States Constitution authorizes to do the round and to walk in any costume in the street.The authorities therefore have little room for maneuver if they want to keep their promise.
