Somehow this lady slipped under the radar

Wow... This year's B2B was an absolute disappointment... I hope 2017 will be good again...

I've always noticed three types of nudity: 1) the serious runners who run nude (few and far between, but there were two nude women near the front of the pack this year. 2) the middle of the pack, and this would include all the Bare to Breakers crowd and nudists. There were NO nude runners with the bright green Bare 2 Breakers caps on this year (although I did see a few of their members). 3) the partiers at the back of the pack. These are those who typically were a little inebriated and less inhibited.

It's funny we as Americans brag about being the "home of the free" yet we have the most laws and enforce them more than other places that are seen as less free.

You would think we would be at the forefront of sexual freedom and nudity but we are actually really far behind! It's so frustrating

B2B has slowly been getting worse in nudity terms since the early 2000's. The first time I went was in 2001 and I remember seeing a lot of naked people. We are slowly approaching the date when there will be no nude women at all.

...but it seems that by 2017 we're not there yet: these from yesterday; dunno if enough will surface to warrant a separate thread...
