I always thought it'd be fun to shoot a girl wearing boy's underwear. You know like Spiderman, Hulk, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Stuff. The classic tighty whities. Anyone have any examples, and does anyone else think it's cute in a weird way? Trying to decide if I wanna try and shoot something with it. In some ways it seems weird, in others... it seem like it could produce some cute, quirky images. Thoughts?

I know exactly what you're talking about. I don't have an example handy but I have seen some where they were wearing a tank top, the boy like undies, and then funky knee high socks. They make ladies underwear that is the same style as those boys briefs so it wouldn't be too hard to do one of those shoots.

You know... they now make girls underwear that are designed to look like boys undies. You should look into them. Yes it is hot and not weird.

It's definitely a trend.  Also, I know lots of women who just straight up buy men's undies in a Men's "Medium" or boy's size (rarely does the market label things a Men's "Small").

This isn't just for boxers anymore.  Boxer briefs are comfy too.  And female underwear now mimics men's briefs, but with a small "cup" area in front.

You guys need to look at more magazines. Been done to death in my mind although after last months jenifer aniston wearing boys Calvin kleins I have had 3 or 4 requests to recreate that set, so I will probably be doing just that this week.

Haha, I usually do more street photography so that really doesn't leak into the magazines I read. I just think it's a fun idea, done to death or not... there's always a new spin on these things.

I think its a great concept, been thinking about doing something like that myself. Maybe with a pair of thigh highs and a mans  shirt open down the front and tied up above the mid drift, maybe add a derby style hat. Lots of possibilities here.

haha yeah or reading comic books in fun little poses. Could also look good with a baseball cap, baseball jersey, and a baseball socks or something. The list goes on and on.

It's hot.  Maybe cute is a better word for it.

The first time I can remember seeing it was Cameron Diaz in the first [remake] of Charlie's Angels.  She was dancing around in superman(?) underwear when a delivery guy came to the door.  I remember thinking it was sort of odd, but in keeping with her character, and then several months later all the cool kids were doing it.

They're called " boyshorts ".

They just don't have the men's fly.

Which makes them fit tighter on the female body.

Ummm... no.
Boyshorts are more like old surfboarding shorts characterized by fairly straight lines across the abdomin and extending down the thigh slightly.

What you're thinking of are "Boy Briefs"

Try this: in one frame  A manly man (Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer?) in a purple camisole and matching panties with a fat smelly...cigar in the corner of his mouth...seated with his legs crossed as girly as possible.

In the other frame:  A naked girl, except for high heels and rummaging frantically through a hamper tossing dirty laundry in the air.

Just a thought.

It's a very cute concept, some models pose wearing suspenders with boys or mens underwear.  I have several lists on my MM profile page featuring lingerie and underwear, there should be at least a dozen examples in them showing women or girls in boys or mens underwear.

I know two women who wear men's underwear (white cotton briefs) quite often because they are comfortable and they like the look.

Just noticed that this discussion is three years old.......

I'm pretty sure they make pajama shorts that look like boys briefs/boy shorts...the kind with the thick colored trim. Just an idea if you are looking for images or something to buy.

I'm pretty sure American Apparel has boy briefs that are considered unisex IIRC. They have them in a pretty wide variety of colors last I saw.

Chelle brought these Spidey underpants and we shot them 'cause they're just so damn cute...

Also, my avatar is an example.

anyone think this would be a good idea?

http://girls-in-others-undies.tumblr.com/

It's a fledgling project of mine and I'm waiting 'til I have enough shots to make following it worth while.

I had a thought today to check if it's been done before and it has, but not very well so I'm hoping to be the Me-in-my-place of girls wearing other people's underwear.

should it be a success I would want to profile people and get them to loan their favorite pairs ... men women whatever for a model to wear.

I dunno

I'd say its not a good idea. I recall when I was young, even though I was a child there was a particular women who was always on TV, and in my own childish way I kind of fancied her / liked her / respected her / realised she was beautiful.

(whatever a childs feeling are at that age)

Then one day I opened the Sunday magazine supplement of my dads newspaper only to find her standing there full length, naked except for a massive pair of mens Y-fronts.

I found that image particularly distrubing. All the beauty and glamour was gone, and I never wanted to watch her on TV again.
