I didn't know any of that. Sondra says sleeping in a thong risks asphyxiation.

As for Halle: MEOW!

If only I'd been there, I could have adjusted her before she went on.

I could've even brought a level.

It might have taken a while, but she would have been perfectl lined up by the time I was done.

Sometime next Thursday.

It was the gown that did it--no amount of human intervention would have solved the problem.

Though your civic-mindedness is admirable, McGehee.

Jeff, I've never tried sleeping in a thong; I scarcely ever wear them (only with those tight pants that show panty lines, and even then I usually rationalize the panty lines away). They are just uncomfortable as all get-out. I was born in 1962, and I've been wearing bikini panties all my life. I've become convinced that bikini panties are what God wants us to wear.

While I have no direct experience wearing either panties or thongs, I can sympathize because I feel the same way about boxers vs briefs.

Boxers, IMO, are uncomfortable and it's like you are just all "out there." In fact its like not wearing underwear at all.

One fashion invention of the 70's helped solve the 'must get completely undressed to pee' leotard situation ... the bodyshirt

as long as the snaps held

;-)

bikinis! definitely. I hate to say in mixed company (seeing men clap their hands over their ears and shriek is not encouraging) what wearing a thong reminds me of ... (hint ..ever since they started making IT with adhesive, the belts that we had to wear IT with went away)

Well, that was part of the insanity of the time: the invention existed to help us with that problem, but we couldn't wear bodyshirts, because they weren't in style. It had to be REAL DANCEWEAR, made by Capezio or Danskin, in just the right shades of shimmery stretch fabric.

If someone had marketed counterfeit dancewear that featured the snaps, he/she would have made a fortune.

::sigh::

Well since I spent the 80's with small children underfoot shimmery was kinda limited to "what the hell did they spill on the floor NOW?"

I can't do boxers for the same reason HomericPundit notes. But a compromise that is comfortable is the newer boxers made of brief material. They stretch and conform and actually hold you in place pretty well.

On the topic, what is it about boxers that women seem to find so attractive (vs. briefs)?

I love those new hybrid boxer/brief clingy things!

I can only give one woman's opinion, but my objection is to tighty whiteys. They aren't form-fitting enough to really show the maie form, yet they don't have that classic masculine quasi-shorts look that boxers bring. (And this I cannot explain, any more than a man can explain why he sometimes wants the lower hemline or the one-piece swimsuit, so that just a bit more is left to the imagination. It's just how it is.)

Also, tighty whiteys are kind of see-through, but not in a good way--in a yucky way.

I love men's bikinis, but a lot of men just aren't comfortable in them--they feel unmasculine, or like something out of Zoolander or whatever. So the good compromises are the stretch-fabric boxers (the hybrids) we've discussed, or briefs that have the classic tighty-whitey cut, but are not white. (They come in blue, gray, black.) Travel Smith sells some nice ones that are supposed to be really comfortable, since they come in a "wicking" fabric a la Coolmax. And the fabric doesn't stretch out and get gross, like tighty whiteys do.

And, in case I haven't been clear, I don't like tighty whiteys.

Look at this response! That proves it. You need to write about boobs more often.

(And include pictures!)

You could start with Bush...

I have to admit that it's amazing. I want to ask, "what about all my great essays?"

But links and comments are links and comments. I hope people who come over here for boob-bloggage stay for the of the other things I write.

Well, I just found this site through Beautiful Atrocities via Rightwingsparkle where I usually post.

As for the new boxer/brief hybrids, I've tried those and yes they are better than boxers. I wear them when I feel there is a likelihood of them being seen, if you get my drift. Other times I stick with the ultimate in support, what you refer to as tighty whiteys.

The gals do seem to prefer the hybrids..

I should start a terrorist campaign to stamp out tighty whiteys.

If you ever hear of a Fruit of the Loom factory being bombed, you'll know what happened . . .

when you start your campaign, please make sure from the outset what you mean by "tighty whiteys". Some people might take that to mean something different. And I don't like FOLs myself. Its Hanes all the way.

I could call my group the JJ (Junk Jihadis)!

Liberating infidels from their ugly underwear, as the Prophet suggested, peace be upon his name. Alla Akbar.

Perhaps you've found a new niche...;)

Seriously though, back when Outland was still publishing, Daisycat would choke with laughter whenever she saw those male critters wearing their "tighty whities".

Attila Girl, so Tom Cruise in Risky Business didn't do anything for you, right? Yeah I thought so...

I cannot either confirm or deny what would amount to a child-molestation urge.

(BTW, tighty whiteys can be taken off. Since I hate them so, this is best done sooner rather than later.)

maybe that's why we wear them...
