It seems like fashion trends are going underground, at least in New York City.
The New York City subway system is the unlikely background for several unusual fashion events.
First, there was the female group of performers who transformed the N subway line in New York City into a pole dancing experience.
Complete with flips, hand over head movements and riding the pole routines.
Lured on by an online contest, the four young dancers put on an exciting performance for New York City Subway riders.
The high kicking dancer Laura Lee Anderson, dress in dance leotards and t-shirt, treated the subway riders to some high kicks, as she kicked her leg way above her hear.
Dancer Jessica Wu took a couple of spins around the subway car pole in a very sexy school girl outfit including double ponies tales, white high cut off top, short mini skirt with knee high white stocks.
Dancer Marissa Lupp, dressed in a low cut stripe tank top and black pants combined pole dancing with lap dancing, as she delighted the subway passenger with gyrating moves, including a feet over head move on the hand straps.
Marissa performed flawless back bends and pole work as the subway train travel under the streets of New York City.
The fourth dancer, Isis in a red vertical sequences dancer costume, red tights and long white scarp employed her scarp as she danced around the pole.
Really, quite an exciting performance.
The four dancer capped off the dare by capturing the $10,000 prize from DareJunkies.com.

It could be somebody's worst nightmare, to be at work or school and discovering that you forget to wear your pants or skirt, as the case may be.
However, for over 900 young subway riders in New York City, riding the subway in your underpants has become a yearly chance to show off your legs and fancy underwear.
What started out in 2002 as a prank by Charlie Todd, head of Improv Everywhere and six of his buddies, who rode the New York Subway without their pants, has turned into a annual event with over 900 participants in this year's "No pants 2k8" in New York City alone.
The secret yearly prank is no secret any more, as over 900 men and woman showed up at Foley Square in downtown New York City to participate in the event, this year.
Thanks to social networking sites, such as, Yelp and Facebook, this secret yearly prank has turned into an event for many participants.
In fact, it has turned out to be a world wide event with participants in Canada and Australia taking part this year.

Wonder if it catches on in the UK, I seem to recall UK male models in briefs walking the streets only in their undies.
Well, what better way to display your panties in public?
In fact, many of the participants purchased special underwear just for the event.
From colorful men briefs, polka dot undies among various colorful backgrounds, sexy little pink lacy petticoats on the ladies, woman in hot pink boy shorts, to those daringly skinny string thong panties, it was not only a day to be an exhibitionist but a day to show the world your fashionable underwear.
