Back in the day, it was considered scandalous to feature underwear-clad models and celebrities on billboards. Way back in the day, women weren’t even supposed to show their ankles for fear of being the town tramp. So what is going on nowadays with celebutantes going commando and baring all for the world to see? Countless have been caught without a fresh pair – Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, to name a few.

I’m totally against visible panty lines, but going commando when you’re sure to be photographed is a bit too risky. Especially when wearing a revealing skirt or short dress, it is important to cover up adequately to avoid being publicly humiliated on the cover of US Weekly and gossip blogs the following morning. So let’s ponder. What could be the reason for this new fashion misstep that is prevalent among young Hollywood? Some of them may be working so hard at being famous for no reason that they are just too tired to put on undies when they get up in the afternoon. Or they spilled that cup of Starbucks that they’re always holding in tabloid pictures on their favorite pair, forcing them to go out for a night on the town without any underwear on at all. It could be that there was an underwear drought in California. Those inconvenient underwear shortages in that dry climate really do cause some serious problems. I think it’s time we all bought less underwear so there are more available for celebrities in L.A., don’t you? If we all pitch in, we can help to resolve the commando crisis.

In all seriousness though, most of the time when celebrities are caught without underwear, they are not going out for a wholesome trip to the corner ice cream parlor anyway. They’re going out for a night on the town or to party, and as such, think they need to dress the part. And, like, what says “crazy cool party girl” more than going commando? Duh!

By the end of a long night out, being photographed commando is probably the least of their worries anyway. Getting out of the car and into the house is priority one. Wouldn’t want to ruin that nice leather interior or those new Louboutins as a result of being umm…not sober, now would we. And we all know what it’s like to hastily get out of a car with a skirt on. Just be grateful a camera isn’t pointing at you when you have to do it.
