Thong underwear isn't inherently sexy - if it's black lace, that's one thing; plain cotton, that's another. That's all I wear because I find that not only does it eliminate lines, it also is much more comfortable. Underwear is gonna go up your butt and give you a wedgie - you might as well start off with a thong and have less underwear stuck up there.

Thanks for the post, that's exactly what I was going to say. I did not start wearing thongs because I want to have sex with every guy I meet, I wanted to be comfortable and eliminate panty lines. If I had discovered thongs at 10 or 12, I probably would have worn them once I discovered that they were way more comfy than bikinis...I spent too much of my life in uncomfortable underwear, no more of that thanks to thongs. Question is: What are the little girls wearing them for? My guess is that some are doing it because of the comfort factor, some want to be little hoochies who dress like the older girls they see and look up to at school. People today seem to forget that sexy and slutty are two separate entities. I dress what I consider sexy every day, with tailored, close-fitting shirts and pants, heels, etc. because I have a decent body and I don't want to look like a librarian. I wear short skirts, but with flat shoes and an appropriate top. I do NOT show any part of my nunga-nungas, that's slutty.

And then there's my thought that the fashion industry really wants women to look like little boys: no hips, no boobs. Men like women with curves, but fashion tells us that we have to look otherwise. Is the ten-year-old girl now the sexiest thing in America, because she looks like the fashion industry's idea of what is sexy, a look that's harder to achieve once you hit puberty? I'm pear-shaped and no way can I wear low-rise jeans, but I work out 5 days a week and have good muscles...is that no longer attractive, it's all about how little hips you have?

About the A and E catalog...Stupid Stupid Store...is it just me or is anyone else wondering why a company whose ultimate goal is to sell clothing features NUDITY in their catalog. I'll have "Things I Truly Don't Get" for $200, Alex.
