Cameras weren't the only things flashing at the 4th annual Santa Monica Holiday Speedo Run this Saturday. These holiday revelers raised aproximately $3,000 for charity in cash and athletic goods. They also raised the spirits of holiday shoppers at the Third Street Prominade. Obviously Santa Monica is big on Christmas, and LAist is big on skin. What a perfect pair.
Photo essay after the jump, with videos coming tomorrow (including a half naked guy hurdling a trash can).

Performers on the Prominade couldn't keep a straight face.

Victoria's Secret? She's the one in blue with the antlers.

If you stray from the group, you might look like an idiot.

You can run for the Border, but Taco Bell wouldn't be a good pre-run meal.

Some spectators tried to join mid-way through.

Time to shop. Perhaps for some new clothes.

The North Pole is up. These guys were down.

Typical lunchtime in the Santa Monica food court.

I think you should get that looked at.

Borat says it's sexy time!

Onlookers watch runners stay warm with some jumping jacks.

Roll call!

An onlooker admires this, um, package.

Best costumes of the afternoon.

There was enough flashing going on to raise an estimated $3,000.

Thanks to the money raised for charity, there was a happy ending.




Awesome pictures Adam.
Now THAT'S the holiday spirit!
YAY!
Haha, I'm counting at least 3 Purdue Triathlon Team alumni in those pics. All that running through class rooms in your speedo on a Phriday finally pays off.
