“This situation is going to change, this is what I’ll guarantee you,” Mr. de Blasio continued. “I’m not going to tolerate it, we’re going to change things. I think we have just begun to recognize all the tools available here. But, you know, this is a situation that I don’t accept, and we will deal with very aggressively.”
If you were hoping he was talking about putting an end to illegal conversions, filthy parks or something criminal, you'd be wrong. The enemy here is
women in Times Square with paint on their breasts. Because a crackdown on them will make life better for all New Yorkers.

Anything goes at the gay pride parade,what's Blah Blas problem?
Maybe mommey dident Breast feed little Wilhelm
Mayor declares WAR on women's breast!!
Maybe Charlene wants to hang out in time square like the old days and Bill is starting to understand why.
Why is it this stupid shit, extra cops, locking up all the pan handling Batmans, Spidermans and tits only happens around US Open time ?
How about they clean out all of the panhandlers!
This is all about the narrative in the media. BdB is worried that the narrative is "Times Square is going back to the bad old days." That's bad for the real estate values of the elites - which is the only reason why Cuomo is weighing in. If anything, they should ban all these characters in Time Square - they have often bullied the tourists and there are just too many people around for the cops to keep these guys under control. If they pass some law that allows the buskers but punishes these ladies that seems unfair.
When did it become illegal for women to be topless? I don't understand. (or is that only in parks?)
Shouldn't the mayor be more concerned about the homeless literally everywhere?
What an odd position for a progressive liberal to take. What happened to "live-and-let-live?" Is he trying to sound like Rudy?
There's always some "protection" (and I'm not speaking about a NYC-Condom) hanging around to induce the suckers, I mean tourists, to tip the visual whores or strip club rejects.
On the other hand, anything that's bad publicity and highlights the incompetence and messed-up priorities of Mayor Bill is a good thing to keep around as long as possible.
It's back to the bad old days, faster than you can say Al Sharpton! Let's see... Gun crime. Demoralized police. Pervs. Homeless everywhere. Thanks, asshole. Should have nominated and voted for the lesbian.
how about dumBlasio focus on fixing the major problems with this city and leave the painted ladies alone. unlike the aggressive and violent immigrants who inhabit the character costumes, these women are doing nothing wrong. NYC is far from a puritan society, if you are going to make painted women illegal then take down every scantily clad woman on a billboard.
FOCUS ON THE REAL PROBLEMS THAT ARE DRIVING THIS CITY INTO THE GROUND LORD WILHELM!!
This is just part of the ongoing war between De Blasio and Cuomo....a continuation of their pissing contest....as to who can shoot further.
The guv said he was going to do something about the painted ladies and Wilhelm is upset about being upstaged by Cuomo...
right in the heart of the theater district, too.
Blah, blah, blah...De Blah-sio at work. I cannot wait until this gawky doofus dork's term is up.
Damn my own eyes...I'd rather Bloomberg came back.
In Paris, France...I believe it is in the Pigalle district...they have a big neon sign proclaiming, "PUSSY".
That is a fact!
But in NYC we are on such a high moral plain that we ignore all of the other transgressions against our sensitive humanity.
We overbuild. De Blasio's chief contributors are the real estate industry moguls. Then we ignore our deteriorating infrastructure, schools and hospitals.
What was the response time the last time you called 911? It will become worse when NYPD is deployed en force to Times Square and the U.S. Open. De Blasio is taking a hosing in the polls, that's why he is using this issue as a OR boost for himself.
And believe me....your tender children have seen worse. Their violent computer games are much more dangerous to our society than a youngster seeing a painted nipple....something he first drew nourishment from.
The beast is not the breast!
It is REBNY (real estate board of New York) which really runs NYC. The mayor is merely at their behest waiting for orders.
The last time I checked,tourists don't vote or pay taxes here. I guess this is where Mayor Big Slow gets to play Giuliani Time,
So now we're going to use the cops,who apparently love these desnudas (male cops I assume), to act as theme park security guards (which they already do) to mollify these entitled tourist prudes since their concerns are more valuable than the citizens who have to work or live here.
It's sad that people don't see the irony that these desnudas and their pimps,oops handlers, all those illegal immigrant giant muppets and those loony superheroes are just a sanitized Disney version of the sleaze and hustling that used to dominate Times Square in the glory days of the 70s and 80s.
This is unrelated but what about all the immigrants dressed as disney characters and superheroes? Where do they get their costumes and who do they work for? And is there a story about it besides how aggressive they are when they solicit tips from these visiting rubes? Why would entertainment monoliths like Disney, Dc Comics and Marvel would allow permission for these types to make money off their copyrighted material?
Also hilarious is that after almost 15 years of the gross and untalented Naked Cowboy baring his nips, suddenly such displays are pornographic and harmful to the eyes of children.
There is precedent on the case of these ladies claiming legality because they are art since there was some body paint festival a year ago in NYC that featured artists and willing participants minicing around with nary a complaint.
So deal with it tourists, since we have to deal with the daily subway delays and belated upgrades to trackwork and service thanks to y'all.
Yes, because tits are the number one public enemy in NYC.
Easy pickings for these media hungry whores (the politicians not the women). T+A guarantees press coverage.
I think (most) of you commentors on here would be singing a different tune if this was a bunch of fat women parading around topless!!
I'm not a fan of the painted ladies per se; if you go there in person, you will notice the supercreepy, pimp-like men around them collecting the money. It is in fact pretty seedy, but certainly no worse than the people in the filthy costumes. I honestly do not understand why this bothers Wilhelm so much. Maybe the Times Square merchants are putting pressure on him, because they are still desperately trying to maintain a kid-friendly atmosphere where tourists feel comfortable strolling about plunking down hundred of bucks at Disney Broadway adaptations and the Hershey's superstore and whatever big money makers are there. But as people have noted, there are lots of other seedy characters who are fully clothed (for the most part)asking for your money all over Times Square and surrounding areas and, heck, the whole city. Why is he picking on these ladies? If anything, he should be concerned about THEIR well-being. I dunno, but something about their money collecting male friends gives me the creeps. How do we know the painted ladies even get to keep any of the money they collect? Maybe they are being forced to do this, maybe they are sex slaves...ever think of that, Bill?
These women obviously couldn't do anything better with their lives! So let them do what they do! If stupid sucker men are SO desperate to pay to take a pic with these skanks, then that should be on the stupid, desperate men!
All to take away from the real issues plaguing this city. They're not hurting anyone.
Bloomberg save us Come back We Need You
It's very possible these girls are trafficked
I doubt that these women will be out there when the temperature drops.
I remember several years ago when Disney sued some child daycare center on copyright violations because they painted pictures of their characters on their exterior wall.
Why can't the rights holders of Elmo, Hello Kitty, Spider Man, et al join with Disney to file a similar complaint again the costumed hoards running around Times Square?
The mayor panders to the media. That's why this (and the working conditions in nail salons) are being highlighted by this administration. If he has ambitions for higher or national political offices, these NYT articles will kill his chances outside of NYC---just like bridgegate and high taxes did to Chris Christie.
For the folks at home, the message is clear. If you want action on an issue, get some media (NYT/WSJ) coverage. Remember, people died of Legionnaires in the Bronx before NYT picked up the story, but it didn't become a real issue for the mayor until NYT covered it.
"I think (most) of you commentors on here would be singing a different tune if this was a bunch of fat women parading around topless!! "
No one seemed to have an issue with it.

Oh yes, no doubt some of them.
You Tube them and you will find most will not speak to news people, say their names, can hardly speak English. 2 did say they were from from South America, another Columbia using names like "Angel" "Honey"
I wonder what both the IRS & immigration status is on those thug looking pimps taking 30-50% of the money is ($1500 a day cash business average).
I hear the feds, local police & DTs are not allowed to ask that information, and the media tosses any reporters work pertaining to immigration status on the cutting room floor.
Whats going on is just insane, this PC bullshit and immigrant criminal enterprise running the streets has become worse then London, Sweden and Switzerland !!
I like the way everyone finally seems to be calling mayor Wilhelm by his real name, this seems to be catching on. As for the painted titties I kind of like to look, but the whole thing is kind of seedy when you stand back and think about it. It does seem like it is all part of the recent societal rot.
If they were trannies, he'd probably get a selfie with them.
2 big tall ones down there are trannies. --by BB.Kings. (one is black)
Its really turning to crap, you can no longer walk 100 feet without somebody hawking you or some tourist walking stopping and blocking your path. Often tourist walk and suddenly stop 4, 5, 6 abroad to take photos as more of these street artists zoom in.. All the stop and go trying to get to your work really hurts you legs and ankles I now photo bomb them, and tell the street hustlers get the F_ out my way. I no longer give a shit, FED UP !!
The times square of the 70s was much nicer, If you "wanted something" you had to go looking for it and make a solid eye contact. The bars had $1 beers
These mother_ucking parasites today are aggressive like hornets. They holm right in on you like cruise missiles!!
What really pisses me off is how all these thuggish 'minders" (pimps) can take up WiFi, chairs, umbrella tables intended for public use and use them for private business, personal offices and storage and the police do NOTHING !!
Craigslist "casual encounters" showed on one laptop so I KNOW these "minders" are doing a bit more then "art" with these young girls !!!
I hope the Governor is reading this, I'm told DeBlasio reads Queens Crap and some other blogs and often gets pissed off.
Pure prostitution. They are also most likely making contacts with rich men who they can meet up with after hours....
Yes - our comrade will fix it.
He will give some presser about a crack down and use of new found codes, bla bla bla.
The weather will get cold, the ladies will head south, and he will proclaim he fixed.
If there are any holdouts come winter, they will be quite perky & pointy ;-)
Hey maybe we can get some painted ladies at the useless multi million dollar boondoge pedestrian plazas in glendale & ridgewood
The glendale & ridgewood plazas are just ways to extend the tentacles of the bid and perpetuate their shakedown...
Just saying
The latest is De Blasio is considering eliminating the Times Square pedestrian mall.
So why is Vallone Stavisky and Koo supporting one for Leonard Square in Flushing?
These kind of malls were a Bloomberg idea. They are dangerous and encourage bums and lewd behavior.
Then there are the pickpockets. Sip your latte at an outdoor bistro table amid exhaust fumes and criminal opportunists.
These are a grifter's paradise,
Now , rip,out those expensive, dumb, dangerous bike lanes!
What's wrong with painted tits?
This is Times Square not Lincoln Center.
If you want Brahms instead of boobs, go to Avery Fisher Hall.
A crooked politician can get away with stealing millions but an artfully embellished breast is offensive?
I think that NYC has far more pressing problems to worry about.
Even in the 1800s when it was known as Longacre Square with the American Horse Exchange at Grote Kill, it was the fornication capital of the world.
Times Square is the traditional ass hole of NYC. Revitalize it and the crossroads of the world will have its own way.
Stop up the butt hole and the shit will ooze out of NYC's ears somwhere else. This is all about protecting NYC's image, whatever that is.
As long as our furnitture veneer is polished who cares if termites are eating the rest of the wood, unseen.
That in a nutshell is municipal policy, image over rotting infrastructure.
Let's not scare all the tourist $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ away.
That is all we have for income. Manufacturing is gone. WTF else is left to sell? At least these peekaboo ladies have something to sell.
Do you want them on welfare?
The most amazing illustration of DeBlasio's incompetence and stupidity is that since the enforcement/legality/policing issue is somewhat complicated, his proposed solution is to rip up the pedestrian mall, so they won't have a place to stand.
Reminds me of a case (true) in the past where some legislator wanted to help fight the drug scene in his area by proposing a law that would ban the production and use of glassine envelopes.
Der Mayor Wilhelm couldn't declare war on a flea.
This 6 foot hulking doofus has to consult with his "First Lady"
before he wipes his ass.
His perpetual tardiness is a symptom of medication for
some kind of mental disturbance.
Only in NYC can the voters be fleeced into electing such a weak "pussy boy" for a leader.
