Go-Topless Day
Equal rights activists march along the Venice Boardwalk wearing pasties during the 12th annual National Go Topless Day on Sunday, August 25, 2019.The Go-Topless Day rally is meant to proclaim women’s constitutional right to go bare-chested in public. Gotopless.org claims constitutional equality between men and women on being topless in public. Currently, women who dare to be topless in public in the US are repeatedly being arrested, fined, humiliated, criminalized. Many states in the US have adopted the right for women to be topless in public. HOWEVER, in many cases, local ordinances and discriminatory practices result in women STILL being unable to be topless in the same area as men. The purpose of Go Topless Day is top point out the discrimination in these ordinances. The annual national Go Topless Day protest falls on the exact day that the original womens rights bill was signed into effect giving women ALL the same rights that men have. Members of gotopless.org will be giving a petition in Washington DC and requesting an audience with the president to enforce womens rights and make the ordinances either eliminate the ordinance OR remove the name female or woman in the ordinance which will give them the right to cite MEN as well as women for baring thier nipples. To read more about the ordinances, find a city close to you where the parade will be held, donate to help the cause, or get other information please go to www.gotopless.org Gotopless.org

Otomi rag doll of Querétaro
The Amealco Artisan Doll, better known as the Otomi rag doll, was spotted today at the Santa Monica Pier promoting tourism to #Querétaro, #Mexico. The Otomi rag doll, represents the tradition, customs and roots of their native peoples. The doll is an unrepeatable and special craft made by hand, mainly by women from the communities of San Ildefonso Tultepec and Santiago Mexquititlán of the Municipality of Amealco de Bonfil in Querétaro. As an important fact, in Amealco the language of hñähñu is still preserved and the inhabitants wear their traditional clothing with pride The dolls have become like a state craftsmanship with great impact within the Mexican Republic as an international way, which has motivated the municipality of Amealco to have a museum dedicated to them. Its origin is playful, for the smallest of the family and that is why their sizes range from 3 to 45 cm. One of its characteristics is that the artisan women who make and dress the rag dolls are based on representing the notions of the human body, the gender roles and the social structure that exists within the indigenous communities.
