Young Women Say No to Thongs

That’s a “Whale Tale”!

... today fedoras are a basic accessory for your average hipster.

Yes, but they wear them badly. A fedora goes well with a tailored suit or an overcoat. They look ghastly with a lumber-jack plaid flannel shirt or a logo-emblazoned t-shirt, as usually worn by hipsters.

[Jeff Chandler]

What's a "coat"?

[biff]

I would rather see bell bottom hip huggers with halter tops and a nice tan. Throw in some J.C. shoes and a come hither look in the eyes. Hit the vinyl with some Steppenwolf, Moody Blues, and CCR.

[The Toll]

Just take them off and stop talking. I don’t care what they are. : )

[OwenKellogg]

Thongs are necessary under some of the more fitted clothes. Panty lines are not pretty

Panty lines are fine. Do you want us to think you aren’t wearing any?

[fella]

"You will probably soon see the return of the fedora and the trench coat."

Right now here in Texas, that's a good idea.

[GeronL]

I agree with that

[Rides_A_Red_Horse]

Butt Floss!

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

LOL

[5th MEB]

I always called it butt floss.

[CatherineofAragon]

There are many types of no-panty-line panties. Soma sells some gorgeous ones.

I’ve never even considered wearing a thong....no way.

[CatherineofAragon]

"Personally, I love to look at women in thongs, but... simply cannot comprehend how any humen being can be comfortable with a string up the butt."

It's not possible. There are all kinds of sexy panties that don't try to saw out a portion of one's behind.

[krunkygirl]

Wrong. I like thongs; I wear thongs; I prefer thongs. Nothing to bunch up under your clothes. Don’t think “granny panties” will stick around too long...

[OpusatFR]

“I’ve never even considered wearing a thong....no way.”

Me too, I really thought I’d hate them, until I needed a pair in order to wear a clingy dress. For me at any rate, they are comfortable. I’ll look at Soma, thanks for the tip.

[Hot Tabasco]

the thong was the worst idea ever

From who's perspective?

[Bobalu]

Adhesive panties...no, it's not a gag item. Little sticky things you press on to your lady parts for a single wear.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

My Sister-in-law (80 years old) said that a few years ago she and her husband saw a girl in a grocery store with low cut jeans and a white thong on.

In the check out line, when she bent over to get items of the bottom of the cart, she revealed a two inch smear of brown on her white thong. Several people immediately left the line to keep from bursting out laughing.

[OpusatFR]

Sorry, thongs are one thing, but nobody is going Kartrashian.

[Lorianne]

It was like a permanent wedgie. Distracting. You can’t concentrate on work like that.

Wedgie swimsuits, I hope that goes out of fashion. Does not look flattering on even well toned slim people. They have been very popular with men (granted mostly European men) who think they are all that. Yikes!
