Models Going Without Undies!!
I've noticed that a lot more models routinely go "commando" these days. Is this true for females in general or are models more apt to skip the undies in everyday life? Don't ask how or why this has ever come up on conversation--it just has, all right? Aug 09 06 01:22 pm Link Maybe its just a gene implanted in us model types, I never wear underwear, I don't even think I own any anymore. Seriously either my girlfriend took them all over or they got tossed. ~Flip Aug 09 06 01:24 pm Link Umm....I wear undies. Unless I am on a shoot and the outfit won't permit panties. And one time I went to a formal commando because I didn't want lines. But I did NOT use the restroom the entire night. Aug 09 06 01:25 pm Link When I need to avoid the dreaded VPL, I just wear my skimpy g-strings. Sometimes I'll go commando for a shoot or runway if the outfit needs that. Aug 09 06 01:26 pm Link sometimes they get in the way. sometimes you can see them through your outfit, or you get a peekaboo thong sticking out. a tight outfit looks better without a panty line. Aug 09 06 01:27 pm Link perhaps it has to do with those who routinely shoot nude, and just get in the habit of going commando for the sake of lines/marks and then decide its more comfortable anyway... but I cant speak for the women. my ex was always commando, now we are both modeling and im sure nothing has changed. Aug 09 06 01:28 pm Link When wearing sheer or form fitting clothes, it's better to go commando for a shoot to avoid panty lines and such. I personally, wear them in my every day life. The prettier, the better. Though I wonder why the smaller area they cover, the more expensive they get. Thank goodness for Victoria's Secret platinum card!

But I wear panties when I'm out and about. lol Aug 09 06 01:29 pm Link Ok, so I cold-called a small talent agency when I was back in Indy a couple years back trying to land a photography gig... I met with the agency director, a very attractive woman, early 30's. As I was brought into her office by an assistant, she turned around in her swivel chair to face me and stood up. Don't remember how she stood, but the extreme shortness of skirt combined with the manner she stood made it OBVIOUS she was panty-less... In fact she laughed as we shook hands and apologized for "Sharon Stoning" me! Long story short, I worked a bit for her, and discovered that she must not have made enough money to afford ANY panties... there was also a very strong predisposition to exhibitionism... but that's another story...

And I came just to get a rotisserie chicken for dinner. Eeeeeeeeewwww! I donât know why but it grossed me out. I guess in other situations you are prepared for it but all I had on my mind was chicken and then all of a sudden â BEAVER. Aug 09 06 03:00 pm Link I only go commando at home or on my way to a club. My little g-strings gotta fit under my clothes to make me feel sexy. Aug 09 06 03:08 pm Link Fotticelli wrote: I don't think I've ever had that reaction before. What, did she scratch it before handing you your chicken??! Aug 09 06 03:12 pm Link I've heard that for major fashion runway shows the models are often not permitted to wear underwear. Something about everything they wear being by the designer, and designers not wanting any bra/panty lines "interrupting" the flow of their creations. Aug 09 06 03:12 pm Link wow I must be an old lady bc I dont do that...heard it wasnt healthy...but yeah thats probably just me... Aug 09 06 03:13 pm Link But to those who do that, More power to you! Aug 09 06 03:14 pm Link Aug 09 06 03:14 pm Link For females underwear in general doesn't allow the vagina to breathe or get air which can cause infections-a Gynecologist said that-So I go without undies half the time Aug 09 06 03:18 pm Link Chameleon wrote: Damn right nothings changed! But you do make a good point; Those of us who shoot nudes have to be very aware of the lines left by the clothing we wear to a shoot. If you dont you end up wasting your and the photogs time or end up with not-so-usable pics. Aug 09 06 03:19 pm Link lol how could it not be healthy? If a baby wore a diaper all day long, they would get a rash. Let it breathe! let the poor thang breathe! lol (and don't forget to wash!) ![]() Aug 09 06 03:19 pm Link For what my humble opinion is worth, even though it does not really pertain much to this conversation or answer the question, I like my fruit of the looms. They are nice and comfy. I also use Johnson and Johnson baby powder so I am always fresh and clean. Aug 09 06 03:20 pm Link Class Act Photography wrote:

It was on display just like the chickens. It wasn't plucked like the chickens though. Maybe that's why. Gave me some sort of an association with eating unplucked chickens.

George Bush, senior: "Just depends." Aug 09 06 03:27 pm Link Can I have a piece of your chicken?

Aug 09 06 03:36 pm Link I used to hand out a small modeling preparation information sheet to local girls that I asked to model for me but have stopped it with the "experienced" site models since I have started using the Internet, thinking they know better and not wanting to insult their professionalism. It includes information on not wearing a bra, panty, belt, Bikini, anything elastic, etc. that would leave pressure marks on the skin. So, as a result, I have had a couple of models come and display nice red pressure marks from a thong or bra. Each time, I had to reorganize my shooting plan to take the first pictures with them having a sash or other prop or shoot body parts until the pressure marks were less noticeable. One more incident, and I am ready to start sending them my prep info and take my chances on them being insulted. Aug 09 06 03:51 pm Link I dont understand or comprehend what your talking about.....please send photos to my email so i can answer this question. Aug 09 06 03:55 pm Link Although I hardly do nude any longer, I will admit to not wearing underwear BEFORE a shoot. During may be an entirely different story, however. It is mostly because of the lines that can be created that I choose not to wear them, as sometimes it can be difficult to photoshop them out or use adequate lighting to take away those unsightly lines. Anyway...*plunks two cents and jets* Aug 09 06 03:56 pm Link Boxer briefs for me, only the colored kind. No tidy whities. My mom always taught me to wear undies in case I got in a wreck..lol. But I do like the commando look on models. Oh, and I use Mexsana powder for those hot Louisiana days and stay fresh as a new loaf of bread....oops sounds like a Yeast joke coming on. Aug 09 06 04:09 pm Link I have a few long dresses that I wear before shoots that are dark enough that I don't have to wear anything underneath. No lines at all lines are bad.

I've been made fun of for looking like a hippy, but I like the dress and it's super comfortable, and the photographers love it because there are no lines. Aug 09 06 04:34 pm Link No undies, Commando, Lines............. Women must have "Line" nightmares. What exactly will a "Line" do to a woman? Aug 09 06 04:37 pm Link I always wear underwear to a shoot. Sometimes I have no idea what I'm going to be wearing,etc. But if I'm not going for a shoot. I won't wear underwear if I'm wearing pants,or stockings(except for fishnets.)
