Ode to Granny Panties

Caitlin Moran's ode to granny panties (or at least ones that actually cover your cheeks) in the London Times made me laugh out loud several times. My favorite parts were when she referred to thongs as "arse-trinkets" and compared them to "a gift ribbon on a slightly battered parcel." I personally am no fan of thongs, and wear them only when absolutely necessary. My mom, who has never worn one because they didn't become popular until she was past the maximum thong-wearing age, is inexplicably convinced that they cause hemorrhoids. I just hate the feeling of having a perma-wedgie, plus they make my butt feel cold. I'll stick with my GapBody cotton bikinis, thanks.
