Topless porn stars pass a large crowd of
onlookers during the 'Boobs on Bikes' parade of topless women down
Queen Street to promote this weekend's Erotica Adult Expo in
Auckland.

A parade of 20 topless female porn stars on motorbikes brought the
centre of Auckland to a standstill as crowds craned their necks for a
glimpse in the noon of Aug 23.
The "Boobs on Bikes" parade went
ahead despite Auckland mayor Dick Hubbard labelling the promotion for an
erotica show as "morally
repugnant".
The porn stars in studded knee-high boots, black leather pants and
little else travelled in a convoy down the city's main thoroughfare Queen
Street.
A mostly male crowd wielding camera phones and video cameras massed
along the street as two armoured ex-military vehicles and motorbikes
carrying 20 topless women and a few men drove by.
A furore over the parade --
which has been held for the last several years in New Zealand's largest
city -- brought out the biggest crowds ever for the spectacle.
Parade organizer Steve Crow had applied to Hubbard's city council for a
permit to hold the parade but was turned down at last. However, the
spectacle could not be stopped because there is no law against women
baring their breasts in public.
"The only way they could legally stop it would be to change the
constitution of New Zealand and remove women's rights to bare their
breasts in public," Crow said.

8月23日中午，20名露點“色情女星”坐著摩托車在奧克蘭市中心巡游，很多人前來圍觀，把奧克蘭市中心堵的水泄不通。
盡管奧克蘭市市長迪克·哈巴德將這個為某“色情藝術(shù)展”所做的宣傳活動評價為“道德敗壞”，但 “坦胸摩托行”仍然進(jìn)行的如火如荼。
這些露點明星腳穿鑲有飾釘?shù)倪^膝長靴，下著黑色皮褲，赤裸上身，坐著摩托車沿著奧克蘭市的中央大道“皇后街”巡游。
當(dāng)兩輛原軍用裝甲車和摩托車載著20名露點女星和幾個男人駛過大街，圍在街道旁邊的一群男人紛紛舉起手機(jī)和攝像機(jī)拍照。
過去幾年，人們對這個在新西蘭最大城市舉行的游行一直很狂熱。而今年的游行引來的圍觀者是這幾年來最多的。
之前，哈巴德領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的市議會沒有批準(zhǔn)游行組織者史蒂夫·克勞提出的游行申請，但游行還是照常舉行了，因為沒有法律規(guī)定女性不能在公共場合袒露上身。
克勞說：“除非修改新西蘭憲法，禁止女性在公共場所袒胸露懷，否則，市政府沒有合法權(quán)力阻止我們舉辦這個游行。”
