The UCLA Undie Run - June 2007 Edition
Earlier this month UCLA held their infamous Undie Run which has been completely covered by serveral indepth LAist photo essays (and out of fairness we even covered the USC Fountain Run).
This last Undie Run was bigger and even more successful, so therefore thanks to UCLA student and photographer Eric Kim, we are able to give you the biggest Undie Run photo essay ever.
Because of the nature of the content - scantily clad college kids running through Westwood and various campus fountains to celebrate the end of finals - what you may see after the jump is not safe for work.
Go Bruins...
Most people don't know that the Undie Run is an actual run. The kids literally haul ass around Westwood and through campus, so here are some pix of the kids running..

OK now, remember the wacky hat dude watching everyone come thru the tunnel, watch this little move he was making with the ladies...

Check out that dude's boxers
Everything was safe thanks to the campus police, the Mexican wrestlers, and various superheroes

But very blurry if you had been, uh, studying too much
So everyone jumped into the fountains...
In life there always are winners and losers, but when undies are involved everyone wins...
But when will the shy wallflowers ever win?
Female LAist readers have complained in the past, so here you are gals...
And of course when theres no pants, things usually end up getting carried away
See you next semester!
