Lesson: Wear underpants on yearbook photo day
Sickles High School Yearbook Photo: 16yo Admits “I Wasn’t Wearing Panties”

A Sickles High School Yearbook Photo is making news today after a 16 year old student says she didn’t wear panties to school the day the photos were taken because she didn’t want panty lines showing up in her yearbook photos. However, the end result of going commando has meant an eyeful for thousands who have copies of the Sickles High School yearbook.

After the Sickles High School yearbooks were handed out on Monday, students began noticing that the pottery club photo showed a side of one teenage girl they’d never seen before.

http://www.inquisitr.com/24077/sickles-high-school-yearbook-photo-16yo-admits-i-wasnt-wearing-panties/

The school admin is downplaying the photos, saying that all that appears in the Sickles High School yearbook photo is a shadow, but the exposed student says that it’s no shadow, it’s the real thing.

7. Crossing the legs can cause its own problems in a short dress such as that one. /nt

8. I realize a little more every day how old I am getting
No way my mother would have allowed me to wear short skirts or low cut dresses like that growing up.

And no way in hell I'd let my daughter either.

So here goes my old lady question, "Where is this girls mother?".

29. Aw, I remember we all wanted to look like tarts at that age
We rolled our skirts up at the waist and unbuttoned our shirts to the tops of our bras.

I think the problem is skirts, period. I hated them then and I don't own any now. I lived in scrubs and jeans when I was working, and now it's just jeans.

31. I'm probably far older since, in my day, girls were supposed to wear panty girdles.
I personally thought it was insane, but girls who didn't wear 'em were regarded as "loose."

:shrug: Yes ... that was 1959.

41. And as Bill Cosby so aptly put it:
"Here comes a truck, gonna hit you. Now whether or not you hit the truck, you are going to have soiled underwear.
Cause first you say it, then you do it!"

:rofl:

4. Oh dear
Could she not have worn a less tight skirt/dress or one made of less clingy fabric? Less tight/clingy fabrics have a small chance of the dreaded panty line.

5. That's precisely why I always wear an extra pair of underwear
So I won't be nekkid underneath my clothes.

I also think they should move the bases in baseball one foot farther out so as to cut down on all the close plays that cause so many arguments.

11. Her short dress doesn't look that tight...
tight enough to show "panty lines".

So I am suspicious of her explanation as why she is going commando.

Plus, she is sitting in the front row and chose not to cross her legs.

Could have been intentional... a prank or joke that got noticed.

13. Doesn't have to be tight
Clingy fabrics will...well, cling no matter how loose the cut of the dress or skirt is.

16. Pantyhose would help
But I think pantyhose are now "out".

I guess how about dressing like a girl and not like a 20 something young woman going clubbing?

23. Man, I need to start going to clubs again...
if the twenty-somethings are wearing short skirts and no underwear!!!

But yeah, what's a 16 year old doing making these sort of choices?

I still think that it was a sexting type prank, only done using the yearbook (hell, we were always trying to get a photo in the yearbook holding "rabbit ears" behind an unsuspecting prankee or, more risky... a middle finger!)

19. I must be really old
but I recall that that's what those things called SLIPS are used for. And if that's too old school, there's always Static Guard.

20. Slips, pantyhose, tights,
longer skirts, longer dresses.

Yes you and I remember the same things.

Should we get rocking chairs and a nice pitcher of iced tea? :D

24. It's more likely that she just forgot to wear panties.
It happens all the time, though most people would probably realize at some point in the day that they were "free bird", and would do their best to keep it under wraps.

But, you're right, it does seem unusual that she isn't more careful about the way she's sitting.

25. I can't speak for women...
Edited on Fri May-15-09 04:00 PM by lapfog_1
but men never "forget" that we are going commando when we first get dressed, at least when wearing some sort of trousers or jeans. Something about zipping up the fly tends to remind us right away that something is amiss.

28. Oh, defintely there are women who never forget to wear underwear, likewise.
Some people's habit of wearing underwear is more regular, more quotidian, than others. Some people wear underwear sporadically, and are more likely to forget to wear underwear when the outfit demands them, such as, a short dress.

36. The majority of men don't have to deal with visible underwear lines
I know, we're not supposed to care, but some of us want to look nice anyway. So I completely understand if some women feel self-conscious about VPL.

I never cared about panty lines but then I don't wear skin tight clothes either.

Edited on Fri May-15-09 04:48 PM by JoePhilly
Panties are the veil behind which heaven awaits!!!

And so a photo like that (unedited) is like looking at the full light of the SUN, or an eclipse!!!

edit:(typo)

Sorry. I could not help myself. Just chalk it up to early onset Alzheimers.
