The weather in Washington DC was unseasonably warm, so there were many people in the Metro system of the Panted and Pantless variety. We had the usual reactions from the Panted, wondering what the Pantless were up to. Most people smiled, others were confused. I told one woman who really wanted a reason for pantlessness that the Pantless got to ride for free. That seemed to make her happy, and told her friends to drop their pants so they could ride for free. This was my third year photographing this event. You can see my pictures on Flickr here.

When I found out about this event about 2 weeks ago I knew it was something I wanted to do at least once in my life. A couple of my friends and my parents thought it really stupid but I still wanted to do it and don’t really care what they thought about it. Life is too hard, serious and full of stressful problems most of the time, sometimes we need to do silly things just for fun and to help us lighten up at least for a little while. Since I live in Queens I went to IE meetup in Flushing Meadow Park, volunteer to be one of the 10 group leaders, I was #4, so my group got on the 4th car of the 7 train. Rode on 7 train and watched all the people in my group depant. I made a mistake and took off my pants one stop before I should have because I hadn’t realized there was still a couple left that hadn’t depanted yet, but at least I got off the right stop. Got off my stop after depanting and got on the next 7 train where the rest of the group already were. Got off on Grand Central Station to change to 4/5 or 6 train, there met with some of my group members. Took express 5 train to Union Square Station and waited for local 6 train to arrive before exiting station and headed to Union Square with the rest of the groups to join the happy pant-less mob already assembled there. Stayed there about an hour people gazing, taking video clips and took the no pants survey. Then went to Starbuck’s on 15th Street and ordered coffee while pant-less. When my friend Patrick arrived to pick me up, he took a few pictures of me there, then we decided to go eat something so I put on my pants. We went to Chipote’s on 14th Street and discovered more than half the people there were pant-less. Got about 3 pictures from there. Wondering how I can share the pictures I got and video (of the video clips I put together), is there an email I can use to submit them or should I just share the link to them here? Haven’t spotted any pictures of me while pant-less. I think it’s because I didn’t look naked enough, was wearing black pantyhose and 3/4 length leather coat, so that didn’t appeal to photogs. There were too many other women showing lots of butt-cheek and leg skin available for photos. :-D

It was a one-(wo)man-show in Miami! Our weather was fabulous (mid 70′s? forgot to check), so it’s a shame more people didn’t come out to play.

I’ve posted pictures and details on my blog: http://www.commanderclaudia.blogspot.com/2012/01/riding-rails-sans-pants.html

It was our 5th year running the event in Adelaide, South Australia. After temperatures in the low 40′s (Celsius) the weekend before we were unlucky to have a cold and rainy day on the 8th and had a pretty poor turnout of 8 for our ride. Still, it was great fun as always and we got some good reactions.

For the second leg of our ride (riding from the beach back into the city) we did our variation on the standard ride, dubbed ‘Pants for Peace.’ Basically we have the participants spread throughout the tram and about halfway through the ride, one person starts walking through and telling people she is collecting pants for a charity, called ‘pants for peace,’ to give to the homeless. She asks various random people on the tram who, of course, don’t give up their pants until she comes to one of the participants who ponders for a minute then says ‘why they hell not’ and takes off and hands over their pants to much gasping and even cheering from the rest of the tram. The pants collector continues down the tram and collects pants from each of our participants who ride out the ride of the journey pantsless.

This idea gets a great reaction as well and is something different to do on the way back.

We have had similar problems with the Facebook changes but I was still able to send out messages from our old group… I think its just pages that don’t allow you to send messages?

Working with the page we made regular status updates leading up to the event and encouraging our fans to use the ‘share’ function to spread the word.

This is disgusting. This lends nothing positive to women and it just makes them all look like a piece of meat. Don’t we have enough sexually-related problems in our society? shame on the trash mothers who took their kids to this.
I’m not a religious person..but I’m a decent person, and I think this is appalling and so extremely anti-feminist. Like attention whores need another excuse to parade themselves naked on the streets of nyc.

In London we were split into 7 groups for the journey from Charring Cross to Paddington, where we all met up again. We then headed off on different journeys around the capital. I accidentally joined a different group, so many bare legs, it was confusing, but a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Here is my video of the day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5x6bbhitgI&feature=g-upl&context=G208b593AUAAAAAAAAAA
