Now ladies can dare to bare in Fort Collins, Colo.

“Free the Nipple,” an activist group that filed suit in May, scored a victory when a federal judge ruled the city must stop enforcing a statute banning women from appearing topless in public.

The Volusia County Sheriff ’s Department in Florida posted a picture of one of its deputies driving away from a gas station — with a pump nozzle still attached to the cruiser.

This Bud’s for you — but this gal isn’t.

A North Carolina woman is suing Anheuser-Busch and Raleigh distributo­r R.A. Jeffreys for using a picture of her in advertisem­ents.

Kayla Kraft’s photo ended up on promotiona­l materials for the “Every Natty Has a Story” campaign for Natural Light.
