I'm sure the rest of your post is insightful but I stopped at "nude espresso shop" WTF!!!!

Let's embrace our bodies in all shapes and sizes...

Unless they're unclothed. Think of the children!

Where is this nude espresso shop? Why don't we have cool things like this where I live?

I kept reading hoping the name/location of this place was posted, but sadly it wasn't...

I love you. I can trust you to point out the irony of things.:flowerforyou:

Why don't I see a rolling eye smiley? This is much needed.

I am offended by this "nude espresso shop" on the basis that I don't drink espresso (or coffee).

Omg, no! We might see some naked eyeball or something. Better safe than sorry.

I'm not against nudity, as long as no one is harming others or themselves in the process. It's just skin. Sure, genitals are not very attractive, but they're not supposed to be. There are worst things in the world than some barista showing her tatas....but then again, hot coffee/tea splashing bare skin could hurt lots!

But yea, I find this post weird. You're all about embracing all body types, but then shame those who choose to unclothe theirs......a bit contradictory if you ask me.

I'm googling it but can only find stuff about coffee :sad:

I'm offended that you're offended by nudity

What feelin_gr_8 said about thankfulness! Having once been very skinny but currently being very NOT skinny, I certainly had a few things to learn. It might have been the teenager speaking back int he day but I would sometimes think to myself "wow, that woman needs to lose weight so badly. She should just stick to salad and water."

Well, shame on me for ever being judgmental, even if I could use the excuse of teenage stupidity. I needed to learn to walk a mile in somebody else's shoes. I needed to learn that some fat people didn't gain their fat by sitting around eating bonbons all day. I needed to learn that being skinny does not make you happy (and this is how I wound up NOT skinny). I needed to learn to value the effort that people have to put in to correct a bad situation.

Yeah, I don't think I'm thankful I'm fat, but I am thankful for the huge attitude adjustment it gave me in return.

So it's okay for you to embrace your fat, bit it's not okay for someone else to embrace their own body? Folks need to get over the whole "OMG BOOBS" thing. Boobs are fat, you say fat is okay. Love the boobs, covered or uncovered.

(CNN) -- It's a tough time for businesses, but one entrepreneur may have found the recipe for success.

On Monday, Donald Crabtree opened Grand View Topless Coffee Shop in Vassalboro, Maine, where the waiters and waitresses serve their customers topless.

In a town with fewer than 4,500 residents, the topless coffee shop is booming with business. Paul Crabtree, the owner's brother, describes business so far as "fantastic."

Sounds like a potentially painful place to work...hello, bare skin...hot coffee! What kind of liability waiver would you have to sign to work there? However, I too, would like to know if there are men working there. And location!!

skadoosh33

I work there, it's a good place...the uniforms are cheap.
