What I don't get about thongs.

[Baitball Blogger]

Years ago. when they first became popular, I was surprised to see an upright Christian friend wearing them under her white pants. I wondered, does she have any idea that white pants are translucent and you can clearly see her butt cleavage? I tried to bring this up to her and she snapped back, "I don't want anyone seeing my panty lines."

Okay. Priorities. The fault was mine.

Now, years later, I get it. Butt cleavage must be in. We went out to dinner the other day and the young girls in the next table were wearing thin, shear gowns. When they got up to go to the bathroom, not only could you see the top part of the panty line of the thong, but the indentation of their butt cleavage was pronounced.

I guess it's no better or no worse than wearing droopy shorts.

1. I never figured out the horror of panty lines...

what's so wrong with panty lines? Like letting the world know you are wearing underwear? Is it so different from an undershirt or camisole or (gasp) bra? Why are people so averse to panty lines?

2. The horror of VPL

At some time in the past I remember women freaking out about Visible Panty Lines.
Like, who cares?

3. How can someone complain about a wedgie, when some folks actually wear them?

6. That's cute.

I almost never look at a woman's butt and then go "Aw."

But I did this time.

5. The word you're looking for is "Mesopygion"

Mesopygion

fr. Gk meso-, middle + pyge, the rump

the cleavage of the buttocks

"Even if they have the mesopygion of Ganymedes,
the eye of Narkissos, the ankle of Hyakinthos,
O cow-eyed Io! they steal your time, your rest,
your attention. Be gone away!"
- Guy Davenport, Eclogues (1981)

"And precisely as he was trying not to think
that little is as arousing as the [shadow] of
a woman's veiled mesopygion, he was jolted by
the belligerent epiphany that the day had been
narrowing in complicity with his foreknowledge
into the corner of the room..."
- Rick Harsch, The Sleep of the Aborigines (2002)

8. Might as well just...

...go commando.

I remember seeing an ad for panty liners for thongs, and thinking that if you need a liner, you probably shouldn't be wearing a thong.

15. butt cleavage

I'll have to ponder about your post for a bit. I will tell you I have said "butt cleavage" out loud like 30 times already though. And I'm how old??

....and that they are buying cotton granny panties.

Seriously.
