This was asked Mindy Kaling yesterday and thought it was a good question. Would you rather be shown in your underwear on national television or wear the same outfit everyday for a month without washing it? She chose the underwear. What about you?
Underwear. Don't think it'd be all that different from wearing a swimsuit/bikini in public. Whereas the same outfit everyday without washing will probably give off funky smells after one week, let alone a whole month.
Most men...same clothes because you know the worse they look, the less they wear. The guy who looks like Ryan Reynolds never takes off his suit, and the one that looks like Chris Farley has an aversion to.clothes, especially while working in his.front yard
Underwear - as long as I get to choose & prepare LOL I don't really see much difference between them & swimmers anyway. On second thought maybe the grubby clothes coz I think the hard part is being physically put on display and I can't really handle that.
Underwear, black Jockey hi cut briefs and a black bra. The trauma is yours not mine, I see myself every day.
I get sick of myself if I wear my pajamas all day, so no way in hell I'm wearing the same outfit every day for a month even if I get to hang it outside to air out every night.
I bet Mindy Kaling has THE CUTEST underwear! Underoos or something like that. But I imagine Mindy has the cutest of everything, since she's so damn cute in the first place!
Awwww the outfit, I can’t even look in the mirror at myself and certainly wouldn’t impose my hideous ass on the general public. Us brits don’t ‘do’ showing our parts....even in a pair of bloomers! I once turned down a free day of spa treatments when I was told I could only wear paper knickers...no bra......just knickers!
Underwear. I make myself sick if I don't shower/change clothes daily. I stayed in my pajamas this past Saturday until 4pm - I wanted to see how long I'd last before I ripped them off and jumped in the shower. 4pm is a record for me.
Same dirty outfit for days...it's not far off from how things really are sometimes! Because, seriously, me on tv in my underwear would scare the shit out of people.
Underwear. Who cares if my body isn't perfect? Even when I was heavier than I am now, I had no problem doing stuff like going to a nude mineral hot spring.
@Sherry - OMG, I died when I read that. We will just strap him to a chair with his eyes glued open ala Clockwork Orange and do our best Lady Marmalade. (I get to be Pink)
@Suzanne...if that's true, I would definitely choose the clothes as well!
But if not...yes, definitely the underoos. Better on t.v. than in a print ad, that's for sure. Just like being a bathing suit...oh wait, I don't really wear those.
Seriously though, a month is so long to not shower.
Of course it has to come with a blindfold and ear plugs so I can't see or hear all the people pointing and laughing at the crazy chubby woman displaying herself in such a shocking manner.
@Feraltart. No can do sistuh, I got middle age (and spread) covered. Oh wait, I'll be HOT FLASH! Be it Lady Marmaaaaalaaaaaadee!! Voulex vouz couchez avec moi c'est soi...Everyone sing now/
When you say "same outfit" does that mean the same underwear also? If so then I'd pick wearing my underwear on tv. Otherwise I'd go with the same outfit for a month.
*gets ready to join the "Lady Marmalade" chorus line*
It's going to have to be underwear, even if the sight of me sends Brian, et al. screaming for the hills--I can't stand being dirty or wearing dirty clothes! Oh, and slips count as underwear, right? I could throw on a black one and be street legal at that point!
this is why perfume was invented. I could not expose my daughter and grand-daughters to ridicule with my dangling bits hanging all over the place, to save them the shame,same clothes for a month.
I can't believe I'm saying this but I would choose underwear. Maybe I would attract a good plastic surgeon to get rid of the extra skin from losing 170 lbs.
Ummm. Have to go with the clothes for a month. Me in underwear... for a viewing audience...

ReplyDeleteUnderwear, no question.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely underwear!
ReplyDeletewithout hesitation, dirty outfit
ReplyDeleteUnderwear. Don't think it'd be all that different from wearing a swimsuit/bikini in public. Whereas the same outfit everyday without washing will probably give off funky smells after one week, let alone a whole month.
ReplyDeleteAs long as I wasn't responsible for the therapy later....underwear. I can't stand dirty cloths.
ReplyDeleteMy choice? I wish Mindy would wear the same clothes for 30 days. Who wants to see an unattractive, chubby Indian woman in underwear?
ReplyDeleteUnderwear.
ReplyDelete@ Brian - Mindy is beautiful and funny and smart and talented...
ReplyDeleteDuh, underwear. I have some super cute cat undies from Accessorize. Even has a little bell on the front.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fucking tank, but I'd rather humiliate myself for one day than wear the same clothes for a month.
Brian's comment makes me want to choose same clothes for 30 days.
ReplyDeleteUnderwear but it wouldn't be a pretty sight.
ReplyDeleteWearing the same clothes. If anyone saw me in my underwear, I could never be seen in public ever again.
ReplyDeleteUnderwear.
ReplyDeleteUnderwear, but I would be traumatized. Dirty clothes are icky.
ReplyDeleteDirty clothes and I'd try not to sweat too much. I hate my body too much for underwear to be public.
ReplyDeleteMost men...same clothes because you know the worse they look, the less they wear. The guy who looks like Ryan Reynolds never takes off his suit, and the one that looks like Chris Farley has an aversion to.clothes, especially while working in his.front yard
ReplyDeleteDoes wearing the grub clothes for a month also come with unlimited couch rotting time, Netflix and maybe a supply of chocolate chip cookies?
ReplyDeleteThat's a tough one. I work from home and pretty much wallow in my own filth, save for the fact that I shower every day.
ReplyDeleteI think undies ultimately. It's not much different that wearing a bathing suit in public, and I do that at least three times a week.
Underwear

Now I have the Truffle Shuffle on a loop in my head.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, I'd have to go for the underwear.

ReplyDeleteI'd even switch from boxers to briefs. I can't imagine how nasty someone would be after 30 days in the same clothes in Florida.
ReplyDeleteUnderwear. Mine covers more than most bikinis anyway, and if you all can stand to look, I can stand to wear it.

ReplyDeletethis is from the interview she did with Diablo Cody's Red Ban Trailer. Funny interview.

Underwear. I wear shorts in the gym every day. Not much different.
ReplyDelete@timebob, that interview is great! Just watched. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSame dirty outfit for days...it's not far off from how things really are sometimes! Because, seriously, me on tv in my underwear would scare the shit out of people.
ReplyDeleteUnderwear. Who cares if my body isn't perfect? Even when I was heavier than I am now, I had no problem doing stuff like going to a nude mineral hot spring.
ReplyDeleteUnderwear but not if Brian has to watch...Fluffy girls upset him. Ah fuck it...Watch it babe. At least mama's got the tatas.
ReplyDelete@Sherry - OMG, I died when I read that. We will just strap him to a chair with his eyes glued open ala Clockwork Orange and do our best Lady Marmalade. (I get to be Pink)
ReplyDeleteUnderwear. @sherry & @BigMama, I'll join you for Lady Marmalade. I'll be the middle-aged fat chick.
ReplyDelete@Suzanne...if that's true, I would definitely choose the clothes as well!
ReplyDeleteBut if not...yes, definitely the underoos. Better on t.v. than in a print ad, that's for sure. Just like being a bathing suit...oh wait, I don't really wear those.

Definitely undies!
ReplyDeleteI would choose wearing the same outfit. Febreeze is an amazing product, y'all.
ReplyDeleteI'll take having "swamp ass" (thank you, Jessica Simpson) over having people judge me on TV, thankyouverymuch.
Underwear.
ReplyDeleteOf course it has to come with a blindfold and ear plugs so I can't see or hear all the people pointing and laughing at the crazy chubby woman displaying herself in such a shocking manner.
First time poster, long time lurker! Love this site!
ReplyDeleteUnderwear. Totally.
Febreeze clothes for sure. Would not want to be on tv in my underpants.
ReplyDelete@Feraltart. No can do sistuh, I got middle age (and spread) covered. Oh wait, I'll be HOT FLASH! Be it Lady Marmaaaaalaaaaaadee!! Voulex vouz couchez avec moi c'est soi...Everyone sing now/

ReplyDelete@Sherry and Feraltart - now I have that song stuck in my head...I hate it when that happenens
ReplyDeleteWho's gonna do xtina's part?
G-d forbid "chubby Indian women" dare show off their skin for the world to see...

ReplyDeleteUNDERWEAR all the way =)
ReplyDeleteeveryone should be proud of their body, it's the only one they've got!
Plus she didn't specify for how long or in what context?
What if you were only in the background for a few seconds?
"same outfit" 4 me. That lifestyle never hurt Keith Richards swagga did it?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I'm saying this but I would choose underwear. Maybe I would attract a good plastic surgeon to get rid of the extra skin from losing 170 lbs.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the underwear thing has already happened to me.
