Fashion Faux-pas

December 17th, 2008 by Kaili Boyd

I have a few things to say about the photos below. I am thinking while looking at this that celebrities need to bring back two articles of lingerie that Victoria Secret doesn’t sell: the camisole and the slip.
And when I say that I mean for the purposes of wearing underneathyour clothing, not worn as clothing.

As these photos will clearly state, there are far too many celebrities walking around in front of photogs strutting ALL of their stuff on the red carpet, or in plain view of the general public.

Now don’t get me wrong. I believe that the naked body is a beautiful thing. I don’t go to a public gym in midtown anymore because they’ve been forcing people to not be naked in the locker room, including when exiting the shower – they want you to leave the shower fully toweled up or in a bathrobe and all I carry with me for my swims is a sammy cloth. But that’s a locker room at a gym where one should expect to see bare breasts and naked bottoms. But I’m sorry, I’ve no interest in seeing Serena Williams nipples or Nicole Kidman’s underwear. I’m sure there are lot’s of men out there that would disagree, but some things I think should be left to the imagination. With all the sex on TV I don’t think most of us use enough of that. It seems like when it comes to sex, not enough of us use our imaginations anymore, because, well, we don’t have to.
