A parade of 30 topless porn stars riding motor bikes down the main street of New Zealand's biggest city will go ahead, officials said Monday.
Auckland City Council Monday gave the "Boobs on Bikes" parade the green light, saying there was no legal reason to stop it despite concerns by some councilors that granting it a permit would add legitimacy to the event.
The parade, part of an "Erotica Expo" organized by local entrepreneur Steve Crow, will proceed down Auckland's Queen Street from midday Wednesday.
Police earlier said they did not regard the parade of leather-clad porn stars as indecent.
"In the opinion of the police, given the standards of decency observed in this day and age, a female being topless in a parade on a weekday in Queen St will not in itself constitute an indecent act," police inspector Rob Abbott wrote in a letter to The New Zealand Herald newspaper Monday.
However, the behavior of the participants during the parade might still attract the attention of police, he warned.

And such a story would not, repeat not be complete without a picture. Your correspondent had to surf far and wide to bring you this g-rated snapshot from the event - courtesy of the Himalayan times - I kid, you not. Hey - I think I see the twin peaks on the right.

AFP: New Zealanders flock to "Boobs on Bikes" parade

New Zealanders flock to 'boobs on bikes' parade
5 days ago
AUCKLAND (AFP) ? Offices in New Zealand's largest city emptied and an estimated 100,000 workers lined Auckland's main street Wednesday to enjoy the annual "Boobs on Bikes" parade.
Around one hundred porn stars and drag queens cruised through the bustling business district on motorbikes, while the male-dominated crowd jostled to get photographs.
Bureaucrats in Auckland had tried to ban the parade, which went ahead at the eleventh hour after a female judge ruled it was not legally offensive.
The parade was part of an "Erotica Expo" organised by Steve Crow, a self-styled "porn king" who had threatened to stage the event with or without a council permit.
The street took on a carnival atmosphere, with the only tension during the hour-long parade coming when eggs thrown at Crow narrowly missed a policeman.
"I'm glad to see people are exercising their freedom of expression," said Crow, who led the parade in a shiny black convertible.
"I told the girls beforehand to keep the jiggling to a minimum and not to do anything that would be deemed offensive," he said.
cont'd...
