I'm not sure why, particularly given that it happened in Cardiff, the photo of this woman stumbling about town in an advanced state of déshabillité has resulted in such horror from the British tabs, but I do know that I can't decide which gasping description I prefer, the Sun's "The knickerless girl was seen in the centre of Cardiff after a heavy session," or the Mail's "This shrieking ladette was photographed staggering through Cardiff city centre late on Friday night." If only she were holding a knife, this would be perfect.

She isn't knickerless - I plainly see knickers.
TAGS: GETTING YOUR BRITISH PANTIES IN A TWIST, IS SHE DOING THE CABBAGE PATCH?, NOT KNICKERLESS, OVERSERVED, I SEE LONDON I SEE FRANCE, STUMBLING LADETTES
HEN, HEN PARTY, SHE WOULD'VE BEEN BETTER OFF WEARING LEGGINS, THE WORLD IS YOUR GYNECOLOGIST
YOU OUGHTA SEE THE GUY SHE KNIFED, KNIFE-FIGHT VICTORY DANCES GONE WRONG, KNIFECRIMINALS GONE WILD, SHE THEN KNIFED JOE FRANCIS AFTER HE TOOK THIS SHOT, KNIVES
BANGERS? I HARDLY KNEW 'ER.
AMY WINEHOUSE ISN'T YET IMPRESSED
IT IS THINGS SUCH AS THIS WHICH JUSTIFY A RIGID CLASS SYSTEM.
Because it's Cardiff, these tags really need to be translated into Welsh.
Indeed. "AMY WINEHOUSE N' ARGRAFFU"
Ha! I thought she was popping a wheelie on a skateboard at first glance!
Me too.
me three
Ah, there's that infamous British reserve I've been hearing so much about.
Right. There.
stiff upper lip?
Labia.
You're quoting Hamish Mancini from the Adrian Mole books aren't you?
I need to re-reread those books.
For sure - they're as much a part of the canon as London Fields ;)
(At one point in one of the books Hamish Mancini uses almost exactly the same words as HiredGoons did. Coincidence perhaps...)
It's just 'déshabillé', not 'déshabillité'...
I use déshabillité for extremely advanced cases of déshabillé.
And anyway it's Brits With Déshabillités week innit.
Meanwhile they're sensible, full-butt panties and not some electric blue zebra-print thong situation. I like her. It's her friend in the leggings and "personality" hat that needs to stop.
"personality" hat = HEART YOU LOTZZZ!!!
You are really committed to this anti-leggings thing and I appreciate that zeal.
Yes! Death to leggings and personality hats!
As usual, you are oh so correct. What we have here is a Kristin Cavalleri [sic] type primping for the camera and having a laugh and shocking for grins, while her Lo Bosworth-ish "Lauren-Conrad-Pre-Gastric-Bypass-What-Can-I-Do-to-Get-More-Screen-Time" Sidekick makes do with the "personality hat." Next thing you know Ms. Leggings will be having lunch with the Cardiff Audrina Patridge.
There's a pretty famous photo series by Maciej Dakowicz called "Cardiff at Night" that elaborates further on the theme.
You can view it on Flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/maciejdakowicz/sets/1391696/
Oh yeah... hence Balk's link above...
It's like somebody took the show Pulling, and turned it into a guidebook.
We'll take the Scottish and Northern Irish but we don't want the Welsh.
I prefer the Mail article as it has additional drunk chick pics.
That might be my Halloween costume.
Careful - between the platform heels and the knicker placement, that costume has 'serious ankle sprain' written all over it.
Perhaps you can make a safety release, like on my cat's collar.
for the knickers, or the shoes?
Kind of empowering. As long as she's in school, that is.
AHH! That was not meant for this thread. Rod, I was going to warn you about DRIs -- drag-related injuries. Ah, well.
You taking the piss?
Remember, the British Isles are the white trash motherland.
SUCH UH HOT TRANNIE MESS RIGHT NOW OMG.
She kind of looks like Drew Barrymore, and I feel like Drew Barrymore has probably looked like that on occasion.
"A funny thing happened on me way to the Tom Jones concert..."
Ha!
It's a surprising shot. Cardiff is a bit far away for an Essex girl.
How can you tell when an Essex girl has an orgasm?
She drops her chips.
I am totally going to Americanize that.
The other odd thing is that they're in Cardiff. Usually it's Faliraki or Malia where that can be seen.
The Fat Slags 4evs!

From the Sun story:
"DO you know the girl in the picture? Call us on 020 7782 4105."
That's some excellent work right there.
Its Britney, bitch.
LEAVE HER ALOOOOONE!!!
Relax, the women of Great Britain are not ruined.
The above pic is just a few MMA fighters in drag.
I always feel more European when I drink.
Meanwhile, in other news of interest to Anglophile Jezebel readers, compare these flowers of the sex from Grimsby.
Holy fuck. Grimsby indeed.
"Happiest When im all stella'd up n partyin."
Mom?
The guys in sunny San Diego love this pik. She can come over and visit anytime! We'll supply her with thongs.
Down with panties!!!!
I think this is a brilliant snap and it made me smile. All the girls are having a laugh and not doing any harm. Why does this picture get so much attention when millions of men urinate in the street every weekend and no one bats an eyelid? I think the fact that our men don't know how to pee in toilets and we think nothing of it is what's wrong with Britain!
How'd they get all the way down there, is what I'm wondering.
Let's see, what else happened in the UK.

Off-duty PC left fighting for his life after horrific assault by mob of homophobic teenage thugs

I see knife crime is dropping off.
Everyone who gets fired by the Sugababes deserves a twenty-four hour grace period.
I realized a few years ago that if you do a Google news search for the phrase "street brawl" in any language commonly used in Northern Europe, you will always get enough current news hits to tell you whether last weekend on the town in [insert country] was lame or brawlin' hot.
What do you call a sheep tied to a lamppost in Cardiff? A leisure centre.
