Going Commando. Is it for you?

I've often thought 'going commando' i.e, sans knickers, was something only guys did. I mean, if a lady went commando, what would be impersonating the gun in her pocket? It couldn't exactly be called going commando if there was no gun, you know? But then I saw this image recently.



It is the most lady like landing strip ever, but clearly there are no underpants. This fanny flash happened last year at the December premier of Les Miserable, so straight away you can tell that I am not up with celebrity gossip. Actually I hate gossip of any kind, but that is a story for another day. I also hate most reality TV - yes, I'm a freak. Shut up!

I was actually astonished, probably because I was so behind in celebrity gossip. I know some celebrities like to show their lady parts as a type of publicity (looking at you, Paris Hilton) or because they are allegedly taking too many drugs and might be suffering impaired mental judgement (leave Brittany alone!) I went to Google to see if there was any further information on celebrity vaginas, and well, I'm sure you can guess the answer. Many, many celebrities have wardrobe malfunctions, and lots seem to go without underwear completely. Just as a heads up, the interconnecting section of these two circles is Eva Longoria. Vag on the red carpet? Tick! Nipples on Letterman? Tick! It's either publicity, or her stylist is playing a cruel and unusual joke on poor Eva.

In my opinion Anne Hathaway didn't fit either of these bills. I mean clearly she doesn't choose to fit in any undies, either, but I have always thought her to be an intelligent, talented,  reasonably sophisticated young woman. I've applauded her stance on healthy body image, and admired the way she's portrayed herself in interviews. There seems to be a lot of Hatha-haters out there, and I am not one.

What I am saying is, was this an actual mistake by Anne? Common sense tells me no, no way, forget it - NO ONE simply 'forgets' to wear underwear on the red carpet. But after a while of thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that maybe I was the only one that had such a hang up about wearing underwear all the time. OK, sometimes at night, in summer, I like to air out the under carriage overnight - I'm sure I'm not alone in that. But going out and about? Somewhere where you are going to walk, and sit and talk and mingle and have your photo taken? Wearing kinky boots and a dress with very high slits up the side? Ummm, no. I couldn't. Obviously each to his or her own, and presumably you might want to ensure your clothing was secure, but even then, I couldn't. Could you?

I still like and admire Anne Hathaway, but I'm just not sure weather this malfunction was staged or not. The big question for me is why do some women choose not to wear underwear? If someone as ladylike and poised as Ms Hathaway can go lady commando, then why can't I?



What do you think? Could you? Would you? Do you??
