Current mood: judge + mental
A few days ago during lunch, my friend and I sat on the steps outside work and ate. It was lovely; the weather was sunny and it was more or less warm. There might have even been some guy playing guitar behind us (though this wasn't really that great. It was sort of annoying because it was hard to talk with him there, and if he just wanted to spread love or make people happy he failed miserably with me. Cat Stevens songs don't make me happy). Anyway, I was enjoying my lunch and enjoying the weather and chatting with my friend and it was all good. Until my friend had to point out something disturbing.
To my right, around the 4 o'clock direction, there was a girl wearing a thong.
I am opposed to thongs on many levels, but this one was particularly bad because she was wearing lightish pants with a dark thong. And I know this because the pants were low-slung and the thong was halfway up her back. And it puckered her skin so it looked like she had cellulite everywhere below the thong, which I'm sure wasn't really the case when she wasn't wearing the thong but was in this instance. It looked like someone gave her a really severe wedgie. REALLY severe.
Now, I know fashion experts swear by thongs for giving pantylineless smooth bums and all that, and I'm sure to some people it is the most important decision they'll make all year, but I cannot get behind thongs. Seeing the top elastic part of thongs is not better than seeing pantylines. And when people say that thongs are soooo comfortable they obviously haven't tried very hard to find well-fitted panties. A piece of string rubbing in your asscrack doesn't sound comfortable. "Oh, but it is," says the haltertop. Right. Having tried one, I will never believe it. Brainwashing techniques will not convince me otherwise.
I only mention it because I know I wield immense power in the fashion world.
I used to work with a girl who exclusively wore thongs. She admitted this out loud. Shortly after this admission, she had some sort of mental breakdown and stopped talking and was finally forced to quit her job because you sort of have to talk in customer service and her sister may have gotten her some professional help. The moral of this story is that thongs fuck with your chemical balance.
And we're coming into the season when everyone is going to want to start showing how sexy they are by showing off that they're wearing thongs. I thought the whole point of wearing them was to NOT see underpanties.
On the flip, flip flops (aka thongs) are OK.
