I went up the West End this afternoon .

Stupid, really. London's main shopping centre on the second Saturday before Christmas. I bought a couple of CDs (for me, still no pressies bought) and beat a hasty retreat.

Of course, waiting for the bus on Charing Cross Road, I found myself standing outside an Ann Summers shop. Ahem. Now, because Bryan's brain clearly works in mysterious ways, the sight of the mannequin wearing scanties in the window set off a chain of thought that I am about to pin to this page and then go out and obliterate with alcohol.

You see, the mannequin, amongst (few) other things, was dressed in a frilly thong. Now, being a bloke, I would be lying if I said I hadn't noticed the trend for Young Ladies to have these things poking out of the top of their jeans over the summer. But it didn't occur to me just how unsexy the buggers actually are, despite the fashion.

You see, it occurred to me while having a smoke and waiting for the bus that after day's shopping, walking around town, or an evening's dancing in a club, or whatever, the bloody things would be buffed like a drill-sergeant's laces. And that was when I decided that they couldn't possibly be sexy.

And with that thought, I'm off to the pub.

said fashion is, after all, glamourising your Builders Cleavage

I became engaged in a debate on this very subject last week in the ladies' room at the crew formal. I have always thought it was cute, especially with the ones that are made to show like that and have little hearts or whatever on the top back, but I was in the minority. We grabbed the guy who we thought would be the most likely to let us drag him into our bathroom and had him weigh in on the matter as well, and he didn't like them either.

they are quite convenient if you're pervy or otherwise want access to buttocks which doesn't necessarily require removal of underwear. Personally I quite fancied the little diamante chain at top at the back ones myself (leaving the string of pearls ones out of this entirely) but t's more an indicator of a state of mind than anything else that makes them attractive.

No obvious shininess apparent after wear, even after exercise...
Being comparitively modest, though, I try only to show my underwear to people I'm taking to bed.
