The History of the Thong & Saying Good Bye
|
The History of the Thong & Saying Good Bye Odd one can really learn history from reading Cosmo. Yes I did say history. The first thong was invented in 1974 by Rudi Gernreich with his unisex thong bathing suit, no it never took off in the US but was a big hit in Brazil, and if you have seen one I am thinking this is where the whole Brazilian wax came from. It wasn't until 1981 when Fredrick's of Hollywood came out with thong underwear did women started to really wear the things, and then in 1986 the company named Hanky Panky came out with a stretchy lace material that stopped the digging into-your-hips ridge. Skip forward almost a fully decade to 1999, everyone's favorite song came out, “The Thong Song,” by Sisqó, and in 2000 Britney Spears danced on the MTV Video Music Awards stage in her rhinestone thong. But come 2005 Scarlett Johansson posed on the cover of Cosmo in boy shorts, which turned into their biggest selling issue, and slowly started a new trend for women who went out to buy boy shorts for themselves. In 2007 Tha Joker featuring Soulja Boy, “Boy Shorts,” with lyrics including “I don't like them thongs, Lemme see ya in ya boy shorts.” Finely in 2009 the lingerie line Eberjey, sold at Shopbop and Saks Fifth Avenue, reported selling 2.5 times more boy shorts than<b> thongs.</font></b> And after all these years of reading Cosmo getting laughs out of their stupid articles I finely learn something. People have finely came over to my way of thinking and stopped buying<b> thongs. </font></b>To quote from the Cosmo article “The Thong Is Dead,” “Most boy shorts have a seam running down the middle of the butt, which accentuates the curvature of the bum for any body, giving the illusion of a Kardashian-style keister.” I like!!! I'm a boy shorts girl or even high leg briefs, the thong has never had a place in my heart. ~*~Jess~*~ xoxoxo |

I'm not a fan of panties at all and go commando most of the time. I have tried the hanky panky ultra low thongs for low rise jeans and they hold true to their claim. Never tried the boy short though, some how I don't think they're my style.

It's not in your heart where we want the thong. LOL All joking aside, i do like the thong and the boyshorts... i'm not too particular about the style as long as they're sexy or comfortable and you want to be in them. I might be weird, but I actually prefer some underwear to commando. I think it just accentuates a woman's natural sexiness, whether she needs the boost or not.
