Mark the time and date because nipples are officially no big deal

Apparently because it’s 2017 and we’ve decided absolutely anything goes — insert human ball of clay president here — there are at least a few positives that have come along with the chaos.

The best one, of course, is that we as a society have all finally decided that nipples are no big damn deal.

And, might I add, just in time for us to vamp up our Spring 2K17 wardrobes. Hello, tank tops!

Gone are the days of us having to declare ourselves “bra burners.” Hell, I haven’t bought a bra since last year. It’s finally become acceptable — and not just in high fashion — to remove our shackles, and fly free like the beautiful, hard-nippled angels we are.

Between the new small nipple cosmetic surgery craze, and all of the sheer gear hitting the runway, we seem to have become much more comfortable with the whole language surrounding nipples, and it’s about time.

While forums like Instagram still aren’t necessarily accepting of them, the moves people are making to counter Instagram’s stance, and the shock with which we’ve met their barbaric views, speaks for itself.

Stars like Kendall Jenner have been seen both on and off the runway with one hundred percent visible nipples, and when a friend tells me they wear a bra with an underwire, I can’t help but stutter. Of course, for some, there are medical benefits to wearing bras, but even in those cases, many of my breast-blessed friends have recently turned to nipple piercing as a way of celebrating this new wave of nipple-dom.

One things for sure, this trend isn’t going away any time soon. Our nipples are finally free, and they’re here to stay.

Just remember, our eyes are up here.
