famous for pantslessness

psocopteraThat's me in this news article "sitting in the driveway in her underclothes with her baby".
I would just like to say for the record that I was very pleased to be wearing underpants at all. I don't have a lot of body modesty, underpants aren't really very different from a swimsuit, and the only reason the neighbors hadn't been regularly spotting me in my driveway without pants for the past seven years doing things like taking out the trash or running out to my car for things I left in there is my understanding that people find it concerning when clothing norms get violated and it's not clear why. (Whereas I was confident that everyone there could construct a non-threatening narrative connecting my lack of pants and the fact that my house was on fire.) However it really would have been embarrassing to not have the underpants. So, yay underpants!
