In our ever-continuing effort to produce something different — independent and alternative, mind you — in the world of news media in Boston, we turn our attention to one Lauren “Wiz” Dow, a junior pre-med and neuroscience major at Wellesley College who gained attention Monday after offering up her cheeks and lips to motivate passing runners in the 2009 Boston Marathon.
Yes, sports fans, she was smooching the runners.
Dow was part of the “Scream Tunnel,” an exciting tradition as the yearly Marathon passes through the Wellesley College leg of the race.
In addition to being reputed as quite the kisser, Dow turns partying into an art form, as you’ll read.
Blast got up close and personal with — though we didn’t lean in for any kisses — with our new favorite blond Wellesley girl.
We also posted a gallery.
Soooo … what’s your story?
My story? Well I’d say I’m a small-town girl who goes to Wellesley, so of course I’m constantly trying to spice things up and party it up in Boston. I just like to have a good time with good friends.
What’s with “Wiz”?
That’s kind of an old memory between my friends and I involving a cruise to Canada, a bottle of tequila, an elevator, and some poorly placed restrooms. Imagine yourself a story and it’s probably what happened.
What gave you the idea to give out kisses at the marathon?
Kissing the runners during the marathon is a long-standing tradition at Wellesley. ‚ It’s one thing the Scream Tunnel is known for.
How many people did you kiss? Any girls? Did you charge for your kisses?
I’d say about 30 guys stopped for a kiss and I even had 2 girls take me up on my offer. I should have been charging — it would’ve made up for the cost of sanitizer.
Were these pecks or full on smooches with tongue?
They were supposed to be pecks, but some of the runners got a little carried away and I actually had to push them back into the race. ‚ As you can imagine, these were sweaty and generally nasty kisses — I wasn’t about to allow tongue on top of it. The only thing that skeeved me out a little was the one guy telling me, “You’re like my granddaughter!” after grabbing my face and laying a fat one on me right on the lips.
What was it like to see your picture on Boston.com?
I was pretty excited. Last time I was on there was a few years ago when I was volunteering for the marathon pasta party. I liked this image much better!
Ugh.

i see herpes!!
heyheyhey—mind you these pics were taken off facebook. from parties and dress-up things and such–i’m just a normal girl i swear. dont hate
skank
wow dude, you’re such a whore. totally not something to be proud of!
Dont hate the playa…hate the game. That shit is tradition.
Awwww people are just jealous of Ms.Dow having big boobies that aren’t fake
Skank? You’re just jealous because you didn’t get a smooch from her, go suck a dick instead. Whore? I don’t think so, you might be a whore though. Herpes? Maybe you have a bad case of ‘em. Just because a bunch of you girls are stuck up goody two shoes, doesn’t mean a person can’t have fun. Don’t judge a book by the cover, know the person before you attempt to slam them, which by the way you miserably failed. She has more brains than most of you ding-alings put together.
judging from her hard partying ways i’m sure the last thing she has is brains
This Bitch just proves that Welleseley Bitches are golddigging skanks that are std infested. I feel sorry for the 30 new cases of herpes that the these proud american atheletes now have for the rest of their lives! You are EVIL!!!
Dam this bitch just sounds like another one of those fucking slut whores from Wellesley on one of their cock craving frenzies. I wonder how many of the runners she sucked off after the race. All you need to do is read this article to realize how fucked up Wellesley bitches really are. Thank God our nation isn’t being run by a manipulative fuck like Hillary Clinton (your most renowned alumni?)
Slut!
Being a wellesley student myself, I find the comments made by this individual, “dows”, terribly misrepresentative of the true wellesley culture. Shut your mouth you whore!
Well, again, if you all are as high and mighty (and Godly might I add!) and believe you are better than her, well….didn’t your MOTHER ever teach YOU any manners? Apparently not! If you have nothing nice to say about a person, then say nothing at all, ring any bells? Also, isn’t there a saying that I’m sure we all are aware of…he (or she) that is without sin, may cast the first stone. How about this, you all should shut the fuck up, quit being so damn lame and talking shit on a person you do not know. You all are being cowards and lame brains by not saying this to her face. You all are acting very childish. Grow the fuck up. And you ‘candyman,’ are a true misogynistic, republican, poor excuse for a man, got dropped on his head when he was a baby piece of shit. You maybe referring to the cock-sucking frenzies that you attended to where you drugged women and raped them…which wouldn’t surprise me. SwissMaster…where to begin…do your research before you talk shit. Wellesley ‘bitches’ are not gold diggers
Maybe you’re thinking of the gold digger whore that you married or are dating. Sorry for your troubles. If anyone has herpes, I’m sure it’s the people that are posting their perverted thoughts on here since they’re the ones all talking about herpes. Princess Pea…your name says it all. Your brains are the size of a Pea…you set yourself up for that. My apologies.
Seriously though, why don’t you all just take a chill pill and quit ragging on the girl? You all were taught some sort of manners while you grew up unless you all grew up in a barn. Do your mothers know you talk this way? She would shame you as I am now.
For shame. Grow up. Act like you have some form of sense and decency.
I know that little skank more than most people out there. Although…yes it is true she may look and act like a skank sometimes…she’s got more brains than must of you motherfuckers! She’s going somewhere….and honestly…who wouldnt show their support for those crazy ppl running how many freakin miles….I’d throw down a kiss or 30 to support the cause….why wouldnt you?
