Protest GIRLS of Ipanema

*Warning: PIRATE RADIO presentation*

Dozens of women took over sunny Ipanema beach to parade their assets in front of the cameras on Monday.

The models — who are part of campaign group Toplessaco — are known for fighting for their right to strip off on the beach.
In a similar vein to the worldwide #freethenipple campaign, the group are angry that topless sunbathing is currently banned on in Rio de Janeiro.
