National Underwear Day Reveals Undercover Nudists
While we know a lot of nudists don’t wear underwear, now we find out it’s not just nudists. In a survey by the New York Post as a part of a story on National Underwear Day, it was revealed that many of New York’s young ladies also welcome the freedom of going commando.
This year has been a banner year for Papparazi up-skirt shots of several of Hollywood’s younger generation showing they also support this social movement. Who hasn’t seen evidence of this as Britney, Paris, and countless others exit cars with everything visible to the waiting cameras.
The old motto, “we’re all naked under our clothes” is becoming more true as people learn to enjoy the less restricting form of dress we already understand.
PANTIES & ‘ANTIS’
SHUNNED-ERWEAR

August 8, 2007 — National Underwear Day was nothing but a panty waste for New Yorkers yesterday - many admitted that they don’t wear any.
“I go commando so there’s no lines - even thongs leave lines,” 20-year-old student Ashley Leveling boldly declared in Times Square, steps away from a bevy of models from Freshpair wearing nothing but their underwear to promote designer duds.
“Not wearing any lets you breathe a little bit,” Leveling said, adding that when she last wore a black cocktail dress to a school event, she didn’t bother putting anything on underneath.
“I don’t care. No one saw,” she said. “It’s just more comfortable.”
Leveling was one of a dozen women who told The Post during an undercover survey that they paid no attention to the Freshpair campaign - because they prefer to leave their drawers at home.
But Freshpair lingerie model Lindsey Smith was doing something just as daring as going pantyless, even if she had all of her underwear on.
Of course, underwear was all she had on.
The model was paid to strut her stuff through Times Square in only her bra and panties as part of the campaign.
Christine McNicholas, 18, said tossing underwear aside gives her one less thing to think about in the morning, while Stephanie Delserro, 19, said it’s way more “comfortable.”
“I never wear them,” she said.
