Tiny Elephant Trunk Penis Gets Up For A Polar Bear Swim

IMG_6468

Is there a better way to start the year than jumping into the icy cold waters of English Bay with hundreds of inappropriately dressed strangers? Probably, but it’s likely not as uproariously fun. This year, we saw the likes of Batman, Thor, a pair of gorgeous newlyweds, Wonder Woman, fundoshi-wearing Hapamen, scores of “It’s so cold and I’m still so hammered, bro” brrr-os, and even a naked dude with just a tiny elephant trunk covering his confused penis (but not his balls) goes for a refreshing, celebratory dip. Because hello 2014.
