A few weeks ago, making a poor Arnold Swarzanneger joke, I jocularly referred to various famous ladies "forgetting" to wear underwear on nights out - "Going Commando".
But a discussion on another thread got me thinking and believe me that is always dangerous. The title is Britney Spears is a B.S? BS? Bad singer? Brazen slut?
No! Britney Spears is a brilliant strategist query (I told you about me and thinking) but listen up. A lot of the male gender especially on the Internet (and I do not exclude me

) seem hung up on famous peoples' naughty bits - especially beautiful celebrities. Their naughty bits or less than flattering pictures etc. Why else do daily papers have pictures obviously gained by a non gentleman shoving his camera lens up a womans skirt. Why else are famous heads put on other womens naked bodies and passed off as real?
What I love about this situation is the papparrazi foaming at the mouth at Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears unacceptable behaviour. But what have the clever girls done exactly? Showed the worlds voyeuristic men, particularly in Britney's case, the "mother lode". "Shooting the papparazzi's fox" - I would put another animal in there but there are always ladies present.
So perhaps Britney and her pals,were not unaware or wasted but were saying to the male species - the good, the gallant and Colin Farrell lookalikes -"here it is lads" - on our own terms - feel any better? No? Well, tough! Now go away.
Yup, hats off to some clever women. Respect!
Julie Andrews did the same sort of thing years ago when she showed her chest off in her film "SOB" directed pointedly by her husband, Blake Edwards. Can you imagine - "Mary Poppins/Sister Maria" was the equivalent of Britney Spears as far as sought for naughty bits were concerned? Men hankering after a nanny figure perhaps - or having nun of it maybe? A spoonful of bromide makes the ***** go down!
Boy that ages me but I can go back further; the actress Joan Crawford when she didn't look like a mad man, as a younger actress had appeared in a "skin flick" which was much sought after. You become famous and your baby pictures become currency if you happen to be naked in them. Boy we are strange aren't we?
