Usually it's people complaining that art shows too much skin and trying to bring more censorship into the picture. But there's a been a refreshing—if somewhat ridiculous—reversal at one Brooklyn cafe. The Tea Lounge, which is in the very child-friendly neighborhood of Park Slope, attempted to make itself less offensive to the kids in the neighborhood by covering up the nipples on a series of nude paintings that were on display in the coffee shop.

Those little bumps on the areola serve a purpose aside from making teens think their boobs are weird until they realize everyone has them. The areolar glands multiply during pregnancy and release secretions, so previously scientists thought they helped lubricate the skin for breastfeeding. Now they've found that they also contain odor molecules that help newborn babies find their mother's milk. More »

Nipples had quite a weekend! On Friday, the TSA announced it would be changing its policy regarding piercings following the uproar after a Texas woman complained she was told to remove her two nipple piercings in order to board a plane. In other nipple news, this one of the male variety, an advertisement for Wrestle Mania XXIV in Florida had all of the male nipples Photoshopped out, per a Florida law that forbids the showing of nipples. Why are we so afraid of a little coin-sized piece of skin? [CBS News, Boing Boing] More »

Celeb lawyer Gloria Allred has accepted her next high profile assignment: defending a Texas woman whose nipple rings were removed by airport security. Mandi Hamlin, 37, the plaintiff, is demanding "an apology by federal security agents and a civil rights investigation," after officials forced her to remove her nipple rings before boarding a flight. Hamlin was taken behind a curtain to remove the rings, but one didn't come out easily, so officials gave her pliers to remove it. Says Allred: "The conduct of TSA was cruel and unnecessary...The last time that I checked a nipple was not a dangerous weapon." Tell that to Janet Jackson, lady! [AP] More »

A "revolutionary" new design from Bali Intimates — a subsidiary of Hanes — has petal-shaped "concealers" in bra cups for "complete modesty" that will help women "look flawless." 'Cause you know how imperfections like nipples can be so embarrassing! Note that, in the commercial above that the actress nor the voiceover artist never actually utter the word "nipple," but the clip does show some sensual lipstick application that's more than slightly suggestive of a certain sex act.

Today on New York Public Radio, Leonard Lopate interviewed Charles Bock, author of Beautiful Children, a novel set in Nevada — both the suburbs and the "sleazy Vegas sex industry." Questioned Lopate: "Some of the details (in the book) can be rather stomach-turning, like the stripper who has her nipples surgically hollowed out so she can fill them with wax and light them like candles. Does that really happen?" Answered Bock: "It does happen. And in fact, in the time that I wrote the book where it went from an idea of my imagination to now, that actually is an act that occurs and not just in Vegas, but all over. It's a not common but not infrequent trick that some strippers do do." WTF. Has anyone ever heard of this? You can hear the exchange at around 9 minutes, 50 seconds into the interview. [WNYC] More »

Do you find it torturous to go bra shopping because 95% of what's available falls into the "contoured" bra category? As in: the bras that are supposed to be "lined" when really, they're just padded, unyielding cups? For some of us with larger breasts, it is torturous, because contour bras can make it even more difficult to button our shirts. But more importantly, these bras make it impossible for those of us who wish to use our nipples to our advantage, since the cups are designed to hide them. A story on the New York Observer's website today reports on the troubling trend that makes finding a sexy bra such a chore. More »
