Voyeur: Underwear Affair

All the windows were open and I was sitting in one, cushioned on a folded beach towel and smoking last night when they began to pour down the alley: runners in underpants. The Underwear Affair was a 10k run/walk to benefit cancers below the waist and I was perched right on the route. The finish line and after party were a few blocks away at the Tar Pits.
Alot of women chose to wear bras over tank tops and little shorts. There were, however, tons of body conscious guys in teams of pink and turquoise American Apparel briefs.
The most popular costume for men: Superman, for women: Wonder Woman.

Also- this is a great interview with Michael Chabon from the New Yorker podcast about superhero costumes.

I love the girl in the Fridays outfit, with 15 pieces of flair:

And the diva pose, I wish you could see the red faux fur booties he had made to cover his trainers:
