Times Sq. desnuda brings topless kid

A Times Square desnuda put a new twist on Bring Your Kid to Work Day when she went panhandlin­g alongside a topless toddler on Monday.

The painted lady arrived on Broadway at around 4 p.m. wearing a frilly black skirt with only a drawing of a black heart covering her breasts, according to witnesses and a video.

But what really grabbed the crowd’s attention was her virtual MiniMe posing alongside her — an approximat­ely 2yearold girl who was also topless and had her own black heart painted across her chest.

Video of the topless twosome — who were also holding the letters “N” and “Y” for New York — was taken by a Times Square “Batman” who was appalled by the display.

“Nobody wanted to take any pictures [with them],” said José EscalonaMa­rtinez, who filmed the encounter dressed as the Caped Crusader.

“Everyone was like, ‘What the hell is this?’ ”

The woman abandoned her panhandlin­g plans when police told her to clothe the kid.

Tourists were dumbfounde­d.

“She wasn’t there for too long because the police said, ‘ You can’t have this girl here. You going to get arrested,’ ” one visitor said.

The dopey desnuda quickly grabbed a pink shirt from a stroller when a police officer approached and kindly instructed her to put a shirt on the child.

The dynamic duo left a short time afterward without receiving any tips, witnesses said.

Times Square desnudas have been under attack recently. Two were assaulted and another arrested for allegedly offering oral sex to an undercover police officer.
