The Days of Thongs and Roses

How can I adequately express my enthusiasm that thongs have gone out of fashion?

This is where I divulge some tidbits from my recent date. Yes, there was smooching. But to further titillate you I will admit that there was also, brace yourself, some bottom groping. And I’m okay admitting that I was a willing participant to said hoop hugging. What I noticed is that he was tracing the outline of my panties with his fingertips. It didn’t stop there. He leaned in and said, “That is so sexy.” I replied, “What? My granny-panties? Really?” He smiled and said, “I love your granny-panties.” undies

Now I know this all reeks of Bridget Jones’ Diary, but perhaps that movie was an important catalyst in this thong watershed.

There is nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said regarding the discomfort involved in thong wearing. And I will fully admit that for a time there I too was caught up in it. No panty lines, was the mantra. But I wised up. I bought myself dozens of full-size, butt-covering, white cotton panties. I was happy, the world was right again. Now they’re everywhere. The best ones are at H&M. In fact, I think I may go down there during lunch today and replenish my supply, maybe even pick up some in red.

Listen ladies, let me tell you, nothing is more sexy than comfort.

UPDATE: It has been brought to my attention that “I love your granny-panties” is 14 letters away from ‘I love you”. Excellent observation! Unfortunately it is also 7 letters away from ‘I love your granny’, and, well, that’s just wrong.

    Your new guy sounds like a winner. Yay! So funny… Our minds are definitely in tune, that I just posted about this. I stand by my recommendation of honeydew fishnet and lace panties. They are sooooo comfy (and sexy). Glad you had a good time… Do I see a date #3 in your future?

  • Pauly D says:

    I don’t know what honeydew fishnet and lace panties are, but I would not be opposed to seeing them. ASAP.

  • kristine says:

    hot!

    i still adorn the occasional thong, but if there’s a boy involved, it’s definitely H&M coutoure for me. there are just so many issues that arise with the piece of fabric that is, inevitably, crammed in your ass crack.

    Like those ipod ear buds, I say comfort over fashion is the way to go. Especially when the article of clothing is bound to end up on the floor. Congrats on a successful second date and thank you for introducing me to the term “hoop hugging.” I feel like a better person already.

  • Meme says:

    kristine: sooo hot. i could barely type about it without sweat beading up around my temples.

    charlie: you are so very welcome!

    danielle: where do i find them in NYC? hurry, cause date #3 is in a couple of days!

    pauly: danielle and i will get together this weekend and shoot a video of ourselves dancing about in them and singing to joan jett, k?

    I think the thong craze was worsened by The Thong Song a few years ago. I personally hated wearing thongs. They kept riding and were umm, not comfortable. My friends kept lying to me and saying they were oh so comfortable.

  • ms. sizzle says:

    yeah for great date! and double yeah that thongs are going out of style. comfort = sexy. how can a girl be sexy when she has something in her buttcrack that she wishes she could remove without anyone being the wiser? see, it just doesn’t work. :)

  • danielle says:

    Singing I love rock’n roll
    So put another dime in the jukebox baby
    I love rock’n roll
    So come and take the time and dance with me…

    actually, i don’t know where to get them in the city, got mine in LA. but http://www.herroom.com has them for cheaper than the stores or http://www.honeydewintimates.com, may buy myself another pair for our dance party, in pink and red, of course.

    have fun on date #3. ;)

  • Steve says:

    Great to hear the thong fad is over! I hate thongs on girls…if it isn’t comfortable for them I don’t like it!

  • Death to thongs! Why, oh why, did woman ever sink that low? Sexy is as sexy does…and no panties are better than thong panties. I’m definitely not a no-panty girl — I love pretty panties, lace panties, and boy-shorts. Shall we find the inventor of the thong and thong him up? (i just know it has to be a him…would a her ever foist such misery upon her own gender?)
