So what's with Miley Cyrus never wearing a bra in public? Or sometimes even no underwear (NSFW, duh) now that I think about it. I ask because every time I turn around, I see another tweet or gossip headline touting some "sweet" pics of the former Hannah Montana and newly-engaged spawn of Billy Ray cavorting in front of the paparazzi with her chest unsecured in obvious defiance all things decent and innocent in Hollywood.

It's hard not to notice. There is nothing between her and us but sometimes just a vintage T-shirt or a mesh top. Do we ignore it or call it and give her the attention she so richly deserves. We all dealt with Hannah Montana for five years, and now we need to keep caring?

Is this a teen star looking for more attention, titillation, or just an exercise in extreme comfort? Do bras hurt? Help me out here.

I'm a guy, so I will never know the suffering that a bra can bring. It can't be that hard to wear one, and she's one of the richest young stars today with all that Montana cash so it's not like she can't afford some underwire, lace, padding, and whatever else the hell goes into making one of those contraptions.

At this point it's not so much sexy, visually arresting and right-click-and-save worthy (you just saved that first pic to your computer didn't you?) as much as it is frustrating. Does walking around unfettered make trying clothes on easier? I imagine it does. We can't say it's a "southern thing" because she lives in California. If you are that rich, is it still white trash or is it just being fashion-forward and eccentric?

Then there is the whole "side boob" act which she has down pat. Nice Maiden shirt, yo. At least sometimes she sort of tries to hide the side boob.

I need some female input here. Is this a fashion thing or a "I'm Miley Cyrus" thing? Or is this a secret Illuminati signal that we are all about to be thrown into death camps? Are Cyrus' nipples meant to deceive and ruin the fabric of American resolve?

Sorry, I was listening to Alex Jones when I wrote this.

UPDATE: BUT YOU WILL WEAR A BRA IN NEW ORLEANS?
