Romance for Real Women

Real women pay attention to important real world developments such as the news yesterday that a Los Angeles woman was harmed pulling on a Victoria’s Secret v-string.

According to news reports, greeted by many bloggers with justifiable skepticism, a metallic element flew off the thong and damaged her cornea. It caused her to miss work as a traffic cop for a few days and “will affect her for the rest of her life,” according to her lawyer Jason Buccat, who is undoubtedly handling the case on a contingency basis.

I once had a young woman who looked after the kids when they were toddlers. She proudly told me her sister was buying a house funded by two settlements from Wal-Mart, the pay off for “slip and falls.”

The term was unfamiliar to me, then. When I asked an attorney friend, he told me that large corporations like Wal-Mart are routinely sued by people claiming in-store injuries such as slipping and falling. Rather than take these nuisance suits to court, the companies settle them and pass the costs on to the consumer.

Long ago, I was shocked that people do this. But, having had my eyes opened, I suspect this is such a case.

However, it’s unsettling that the v-string and its sister, the g-string, might get a bad rap because of a nuisance law suit. Will Victoria’s Secret and other thong manufacturers have to print warnings the way MacDonald’s has to warn that hot coffee is hot? It boggles the mind.

Real women need them. I have a drawer full of them. They’re sexy. Men love them. Practically, they leave no visible panty line (VPL, a technical term) under skirts and pants. And, they’re inexpensive.

Also, thinking this through, it’s highly unlikely that even the most forceful tug on a v-string would result in what one blogger called “projectile thongs.”

So in support of Victoria’s Secret and manufacturers of g- and v-string thongs everywhere, and to show I have no fear of projectile thongs, I’m going to buy some today…with metallic elements. Check out my favorites at http://www.inhisdreams.com/pantiesthongs2.html
