Incredibly Well on all Fronts

Sara actually had a brilliant time posing and modelling for her experienced photographer. The atmosphere was friendly and she was genuinely grinning the whole time. She laughed along with the crew during the shoot and by the end felt respected and proud of her body. She wasn't a photoshopped model, she was a real woman, and this was what she looked like.

The reaction from the public was astonishing. The N.H.S Public Health magazine achieved a new record for most issues sold in a day. It wasn't just men, but women also seemed fascinated by the double page spread of the blonde comedian.

One week after Sara's topless debut, the government announced that the program would be accelerated, now one hundred women would be chosen each week to go to a studio and have their own photo taken. The photos would be published in their own separate publication owned by the N.H.S with the sole purpose of producing and distributing these photographs. There was surprisingly little opposition to this and the first issue featuring a hundred topless women from across the country was another resounding success. Within a month, crime rates and police reports had reached an all time low, all credited to the T.I.T.T.I.E.S Publications.

There was still opposition to the program - there always would be - but it seemed to have shrunk considerably since the first issue, all they needed to be convinced was the crime and mental health statistics that were getting better all the time. The only remaining argument that a few opponents still held, was that somehow, nearly eighty percent of all the selected women were under thirty, and nearly all the applicants had at least a full B-cup, with a handful of exceptions every week. The politicians claimed it was just chance and that the algorithm worked and everyone was so happy with the current arrangement that opposition never gained much momentum.

Three months later, Sara sat in her living room, sipping a cup of tea and absent mindedly perusing the latest issue of the T.I.T.T.I.E.S magazine. She had been given her own A2 sized copy of her topless portrait which hung in a beautiful frame on the wall in front of her. All in all, she was delighted that she had written that joke all those years ago.
