This is what happens when it got gusty at the Uchimizu event.
There is even a otaku word to describe the thigh area showing above the socks - the Zettai Ryouiki (絶対領域(ぜったいりょういき)).
Submitted by one of my media comrades who wishes to remain anonymous. He said that he felt "betrayed" because they were wearing shorts instead of knickers...

Haha the Zettai Ryouiki. One the most wonderful "area" in the world ^^;
I understand how your comrade feels. Sorts are sexy, but not when wearing skirts IMO. That's not what we're expecting for. So yes, I can say I also feel betrayed haha :)

The fact that the wind was so gracious to exert enough force to blow the girls skirts up is truley inspiring XD Thank mother nature for that. It is a shame they were wearing shorts...yes..betrayed is definatley a fitting word -_- naze kami sama!?!

lol Zettai Ryouiki XD

i guess the maids (or at least the maid in the picture) got prepared for the event. maybe they didn't anticipated the gust of wind but rather prepared against the skirt lifters pervs that might lurking outside of their establishment XD

I dont feel betrayed. Sure, if they were wearing frilly white panties, there would be nosebleeds all round and all the lads would be going nuts, but those girls have guts parading around in sexy maid outfits in front of hundreds of drooling otaku anyway. 
I can totally understand if they would do everything they can to stop any panty-showage.

Although feeling betrayed, and as much as I would like to see their knickers, I am glad they are wearing shorts underneath, the girl must have had more ease doing their thing. 

But still it was a nice shot. ^^

Its not like everyday you get to see whats underneath a skirt due to an accidental "wind" LOLs

I don't feel betrayed...

When I think of the immediate association between a skirt, a mini-skirt and the like and sexy panties, I find it odd.
Of course I'd have thought of that too, but still, they wear what they want (unless there is a rule in Maid Cafes that state you got to wear sexy undies, which would sound quite out of place already).

But you Danny, did you feel betrayed?
Were you unhappy knowing they were wearing shorts?

Note: As long as they are not wearing "Grandma's panties" (that was really horrible for that to be the norm at that period; We are lucky I reckon), all is fine, I guess!! ;)

Maybe they did it because this was an outdoor event, where there would be a lot of wind... Inside a maid cafe is not that much of wind, so they might wear normal underclothes there :).

But no,  I don't feel betrayed.

I'm surprised so many people are feeling betrayed :s It's something that is done for free first of all. It's also not something that actually should not be turned into some erotic tease show. It's a traditional event. These girls might get paid to do it but even still .. how would you feel if your boss told you to get on the street and flash your panties for money. Funfun ... sure. People who feel betrayed are imo very selfish. By the way, a maid is a sort of sex symbol for selfish people who like someone doing work for them (in a very sexy way). That said, I do like a maid :) Nothing against people who fantasise about girls in maid outfits. It's just that you should lighten up about it. It's not the end of the world. I'd feel betrayed if I was paying a girl for sex and she turns out to be a dude. That's pretty dissapointing. But this? Please ... :)

Personally I don't feel too betrayed about the shorts, but maybe I would feel different if I was actually there.  I can fully understand the feeling of betrayal.  It make perfect sense to feel betrayed...  

Then again, your media comrade shouldn't feel too badly.  How many of us would look so good in short shorts. ^^;  That's a smart girl to wear shorts, I wouldn't go out on a windy day to an event that will have camera wielding otaku without protection. ^o^
