Waiting topless (NSFW)

Waiting topless (NSFW) is a photojournalism piece by The Sunday Best (Courtesy of Briget Ganske/The Salt Institute for Documentary Studies) about what has to be the most depressing restaurant in the world: a topless coffee bar. In Maine. I mean, the whole place reeks of broken dreams and lowered expectations. The waitresses speak about taking care of an amputee mother and a special needs child. That's rough, it almost makes me want to cry. So many issues between exploitation and liberated feminism. In their words:

"When the Grand View Topless Coffee shop in Vassalboro opened in February 2009, Lisa Beaudreau and Star Cunningham both found jobs there. 'Yes, I am a topless waitress, but I'm just a regular normal person in society,' Cunningham says. 'I honestly don't think in this economy right that there is a job out there that would pay roughly the same.'

In June, the shop burned down in a suspected arson and reopened in tent‎."

I showed my friend EP, just to see what he thought. His reaction was, "OH GOD THESE ARE NOT PRETTY BOOBS." I had suspected as much, but not being a guy, I wasn't sure. 

The tragedy. 

(From I forgot, sorry.)

Yeah, those really aren't the best looking boobs. I would think that with over 200 ladies applying for jobs there when it opened, they would have chose some with nice looking boobs.





P.S. the captcha is schroods, which sounds like slang for something illegal or sexual or both.

I dunno, I kinda like that they accept all boobs. Makes them more of an open and accepting place instead of a judgemental and exclusive place like Abercrombie or Hooters.
