Just in time for summer, Nantucket residents voted in favor of allowing anyone to go topless at the beach by a vote of 327 to 242.

The ballot proposal was championed by a seventh-generation Nantucket native and who runs the Nantucket Love School.

While Nantucket now has to refer things over to the Massachusetts Attorney General for approval, in the meanwhile one can only reasonably assume that local police and lifeguards not employed by the state will be turning the other cheek whenever they might happen upon anyone sporting uncovered ta-tas at the beach so long as the person is not doing anything else titillating.

Needless to say, frequent Nantucket visitor Martha Stewart is surely ecstatic even if at least some others are not excited about the possibility of seeing her topless at the beach at this late point in her life.

Fortunately, the locally approved proposal did not authorize public sunbathing.

Ironically, this vote came as many women in much of Western Europe long known for going topless at the beach are opting to cover up given the potential of their exploitation on social media.
