I'm sure many women will be relieved to hear that :D
What I didn't appreciate was that these skimpy bits of material and elastic are considered to be chav-wear.
So how come Harvey-Nicholls are reporting a drop in sales of thongs of 17% over last year ? I understood chavs were an economically deprived underclass :confused:

Well, the underclass like classy undies. Harvey Nicks spotted a gap in the market and slipped right into it. Now a crack has appeared in its thong sales. Or something.
Because thongs are considered to be chav-wear they often get a bum-rap. It's a sad day when the bottom falls out of the thong market.
I'm sure that sales will snap back and the cracks in sales will be recovered.
all they need is a bit more support.
A good thong will never go out of fathion.
They uthually get rereleathed by the latetht thingerth and will be available in all good record thopth thortly.

1997?
But they've been around far longer than that! They arrived in response to the need for a VPL-less look when wearing leggings at the tail end of the eighties - before leggings became the exclusive domain of whales and hippos :roll:

No fashion fad should be allowed to die without a good song to see it off.
What about (for sado-masochists):
Just a thong at twilight?
or (for heavy metal fans)
The thong remains the same

A sad thong says so much....
There'll always be thong aficionados though... I can't wait til they're behind the times...or forming an underground movement.....or retro....please somebody, shoot me now!
