R.I.P. G-strings and thongs

Media_httpfarm5static_keikq

Butts rejoice! Not since the invention of Spanx have women’s bums celebrated with such excitement. What’s the reason for all this booty-shaking reveling, you ask? Well, Cosmopolitan has declared the thong officially over. No more whale tails and insufferable wedgies.

The women’s mag took some time out from telling women how to satisfy men in bed to put a stake in the era of G-strings. Cosmo took a trip down thong memory lane, reminiscing about Woody Allen’s use of the term “visible panty line” in 1977’s Annie Hall and Sisqo’s catchy ditty, “The Thong Song.”

Welcome to the age of Granny panties, ladies.

Keep up on fashion that’s not dead.

My wife actually loves her thong collection. I don't think she'll be giving them up any time soon.

Does it matter? Best pair of panties is a pair taken off and on the floor!

I'd have to agree with Tom....the best style is whichever is laying on the floor! ;) Don't care what they look like, so long as they're on the floor lol

It wasn't actually Woody Allen who used the term 'VPL' in Annie Hall. It was his friend Rob (actor Tony Roberts).

I think it's hot, but my wife can't stand it and never wears them.
I don't blame women for not wanting a constant wedgie.

Did you say, "put a stake in the area of G-strings"...oops, sorry, read that wrong.

Long live the C-String! :D

Stumbled across such a thing for the first time when I was looking for a character-map yesterday in the afternoon!

- better late then never - So this was Cosmos prediction around Feb 2010 huh? And they actually said bye to the thong. Hmm. They might as well say goodbye to the moon while they're at it. It's now October 2011 and thongs are still as big as they were. Way to go Cosmo... that worked out real well, huh.
