New York subway riders got to see a lot more of their fellow passengers on Sunday.
The bare-faced cheeks were all part of the annual No Pants Subway Ride, where straphangers shed their trousers and finis-the trip in their undergarments.
The tradition was started 18 years ago by an improv group in New York City and has spread to public transit lines from San Francisco to Jerusalem.
Organizers call it 'an international celebration of silliness.'

Despite the frigid temperatures, riders in Chicago, London and Paris, shed layers to join in.
Participants are told to get on trains and act as they normally would and are given an assigned point to take off their pants.
They're asked to keep a straight face and respond matter-of-factly to anyone who asks them if they're cold

The rules of the event are fairly straightforward: Underpants must be worn and, although flashy designs are allowed, organizers prefer those involved to look - at least from the waist-up - as though they are going about their daily lives.
This is to increase the impact the participants have on the unaware bystanders.
In the inaugural event only seven people took part, but now thousands in major capital cities around the globe participate in what organizers call a 'celebration of silliness'.
Uniforms and business suits are encouraged to amplify the lower-half effect as are props - bicycles, prams, shopping bags or a briefcase.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
