Only in San Francisco do people run a 12k TOTALLY NAKED! Perhaps you're conjuring images Playboy Models and Chippendale Dancers running all Bay Watch style... so did I, the first time I ran
Bay to Breakers in 2004... but alas the old adage rings true, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." The naked people in this case are mostly people you wouldn't want to see flopping their ding-dongs, ta-ta's and hoo-ha's in the wind.
I mean, don't get me wrong, it's certainly a spectacle. Amongst all the elaborately costumed runners (airbrushed Avatars, connected centipedes of people, floats with Vikings, Elvis impersonators, salmon who run from the finish line to the start), it's always the "au natural" participants that garner the most attention.
So this year, I decided to design a t-shirt to celebrate the 7.45 mile streakers. It just advertises what's on everyone's mind: I just came to see the naked people.
Within 5 minutes we had a fan of the shirts.
Here's me getting a dose of what I came for... ewww ewww ewww....
More nudity after the jump!
Get a load of the mom and dad with the stroller! Don't worry the kid was fully clothed.
Some spectators and some crowd shots.
Some of the tortilla frisbees from the start line, and some fav costumes.
