If the idea of a bunch of dominatrices and leather daddies running around Providence for the Fetish Flea Market tomorrow leaves you anxious to go somewhere a little more puritanical–Boston, say–then you might want to think again. Because if the folks from Improv Everywhere get their way, then tomorrow in Beantown you’ll be seeing a whole lot of leg and maybe more.
Saturday marks the seventh annual No Pants Day, a worldwide event happening in cities like New York, Baltimore, and Portland, not to mention Adelaide, Australia and even Salt Lake City. (Apocalypse watchers might want to start their Doomsday Countdown Clocks now.) The idea is for as many people as possible to ride public transportation in their skivvies. At least 233 people in Boston alone are planning to show up.
It’s all in good fun, brought to you by the same folks who convinced over a hundred New Yorkers to walk around Abercrombie & Fitch with their shirts off. If you long for the glory days of flash mobs but don’t like zombie makeup and Santa hats, this is the event for you!
(PS–No word yet on whether anyone’s planning on showing some thigh on RIPTA. Anyone up for a pantsless January ride on the Newport ferry?)
