It's Official

Goddess be praised. The Guardian reports that (in the UK at least) the g-string is dropping off the fashion radar. Let us hope that we on this continent quickly follow suit. As the 'visible thong' is, in my opinion, the tackiest trend of recent years, this can only be good news. Apparently, g-string sales are down by 17% since 2003. And Marks & Spencer - who have ever been the purveyors of the nation's knickers - are reporting that sales of boy shorts are booming. Sayeth Elle MacPherson, sometime supermodel and lingerie 'designer': "G-strings are uncomfortable. Girls want real knickers now." Huzzah! ;-)
