Now maybe you heard about the woman who is sueing Victoria's Secret because her thong snapped and the metal decoration hit her in the eye.
This is a matter of personal preferance, the underware you perfer, but I WILL NOT WEAR A THONG! I am not a kid anymore, and I like my panties to cover what they are suppose to. I do not have a model's figure, I may have had one once, but can't remember it! If I buy something and I find it defective the FIRST time I wear it, I am angry and will return it, I am not rich ya know!
Now for the facts! The woman who is sueing is 52 years old. She also does not have a model's figure. And the thong had been worn quite a few times.
I saw this on the news. They showed the thong, and it looked quite small for the woman, hey, there is only so much that tiny clasp/decoration could take! And there is her lawyer, handling it. EWWWWWW! I believe she had it on when it snapped. He better go wash his hands! And how in the world did it hit her in the eye, what was she looking at?
My opinion, throw this out of court. Why set a presidence as to how long you can use an item, and when it wears out sue the manufacturer for specific performance faliure!

When I read this the little voice in my head was SCREAMING at me..."Julia..DON'T you dare!!!!!" but since when do I actually listen to the voices....
Why in the world would a 52 yr old woman of her staute (meaning shes a little larger lady) wear a thong of this style unless....well she's possibly gonna get lucky?
Second, ummmm....it WAS NOT the first time she had worn it and I'm hoping (all though it's possible that it wasn't) it had been washed. Once a garment (thong or jeans or shirt) is washed that weakens the threading.
Third when you wear an item of clothing after weakening the threading and you STRETCH that beyond what it is capable of....well SNAP!!!!
Was there there a ricochet effect? How close can a 52 yr old woman get her face to her underarea while putting on said such undergarment? Did she not realize when you try to put a watermelon (not cut up) into a sandwich baggie, that baggie is gonna split right down the seam?
The voices are proud of me...I didn't make this commentary as colorful as I could have...LMFAO

LMAO! When I first heard this all they said at the beginning of the news was "woman is suing Victoria's Secret for damage to her eye while putting on her thong".
The first words out of my mouth were "what was she putting that thong on?"'
I get it now, but I agree with all of you. If the elastic in my GRANNY panties snapped, it wouldn't come anywhere close to putting my eye out unless I was
tying my shoes at the time. I think I tried a thong once many years ago. I
can't be sure though ... it's lost somewhere in the great divide.

ok...this topic has been on my mind all day. I just can't get over it. Now I have to give a few thoughts (the voices are making me I swear)..
A thong is nothing more than butt floss. We all know this. It feels like an anchor rope slid up the crack of your hiney. Nothing attractive about that. Or the thoughts of taking it off and praying if your in a romantic encounter that there isn't a tiny surprise there (ergo skid mark and yes its gross but we are human).
To be honest...I can think of a million other ways to be sexy and sensual without having something rubbing my crack. To me...once you get dinner and romance outta the way...all you want to do is get naked anyway. Forgo the the way over priced no more coverage than a bandaid fig leaf with a string and go commando!!!!
ok...I'm off the soap box...I swear...the voices are passified.

Yes, but for how long? I remember my daughter bugging me to get her low riding panties cause God forbid the waistband showed! Now she bends over and there is a "T" right there in full view. I refuse to do her laundry, I am not touching her thongs. I see no point to them at all.
At least hers never shot her in the eye!
Really, I give this woman credit cause I wouldn't have the ----- to get up in public and say I blew out my thong. Do they make them in plus sizes?

ok hun..sit down and get the oxygen ready...cause YES they do make them in plus sizes...and dont get me wrong...im a plus girl...but I know when its time to let the cruise ships have theiry anchor rope back.
In all seriousness...that woman is just looking to make a few bucks. 1) she knew the thong was too small 2) she knew she was stretching it to the limits while putting it on 3) i still dont get why her face was that close to her cooch...wonder if she had a rib removed too???

What a wonderful country, we have the right to sue someone cause we tested the limits of fabric and metal and the thong lost!
