I'm sure you all know exactly what I'm talking about here!  It's a new fashion craze or so it would seem, you can't go out to a bar or club or even just walk down the street without seeing it.

Public display, a new fashion craze!

I am of course referring to the now infamous whale tail thong thang.  We all woke up one morning and it was suddenly okay to walk around in public with your underwear visible!

I can't say for sure when I first noticed this phenomenom, but it is something that is quite difficult to ignore these days because it is now quite fashionable.  It's seriously putting me off my pint down the local pub!

Some are just plain and you’ll catch the odd glimpse here and there. That’s okay, the occasional mishap happens to the most modest person in the world.  On the opposite side of the coin some people make a big deal about it and that thong is definately meant to be seen.  Judging by the way they’re sometimes decorated with sparkly bits or have slogans embroidered on them it looks like thongs can either be categorised as underwear or a fashion accessory these days.

Don’t get me wrong.  I’m not a prude and I’m not about to presume I can tell a person what he or she can and can’t wear.   Occasionally catching sight of something you generally don't see is one thing, but I guess what I am trying to say is that I think it looks a little bit tacky when it is really obvious.  It's just my opinion mind you - maybe I'm just too old to appreciate all this!

I would go even further and say that on SOME people they’re just not cutting the right image and it really isn't very attactive at all.  Just as rings, necklaces, earrings, tattoos etc. don’t look right on everyone, the same goes for publicly displaying underwear.

One final thought…  Yes I do think guys that wear their jeans slung low with their boxers showing over the top does in fact look quite rediculous!

As a gentleman of more advanced years I have to say I'm amused by all this talk of public displays of underwear. It is nothing new, although it may be a modern fashion again. In the 30s it was socially frowned upon and the police would quickly come down on you like a ton of bricks, but when I was a young man it was all the rage to wear your underpants over your trousers,

not the sort of girl id want long term though. you often see them queing outside the social security centre near my work, strangly either really big or really thin types.

Well if thongs are so sexy why are they marketed to young girls 9 - 12. Is it so necessary for them to hide VPLs? And they wear skirts too. So it looks more sexy when they inadverently expose. Why are they not marketed to 9 -12 boys? Is it that small girls should be more sexy than small boys?
