Robert J. Burck, better known as the Naked Cowboy, who plays his guitar and poses for pictures in briefs and cowboy boots, noted that, on Thursday, only one of the women had shown up, and quickly attracted all the attention.

“It was like Michael Jackson was here, because everybody couldn’t wait to see a naked girl,” he said. He said that he tried to be amicable with everyone who worked on the plaza, but that his wife and sister-in-law, who wear bikinis and play guitars as the Naked Cowgirls, made more money when the topless women, known as desnudas (Spanish for naked), weren’t there.

His sister-in-law Elizabeth Cruz was blunt. “Men prefer the topless women,” she said.

One of the desnudas, Melissa, 24, a native New Yorker who did not want to give her last name, said by phone on Friday that she had been alarmed by the rash of negative publicity, which she felt depicted them as criminals, even though they were not breaking the law because female toplessness is generally legal. She said she was unsure if or when she would return to Times Square.
