Mad inventions: underwear!

Liz Henry — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:39:14 -0500

Minnie and I invented the best underwear fashion: alphabet beads + thongs! I was thinking you could spell your name in beads across the top string, which then peeks out over your butt cleavage. It's a DIY craft project! And it's underwear!

Minnie one-upped me by pointing out that the kits need to include numbers. Then the most "adventurous" among us can write out their phone numbers in their butt cracks.

I expect someone else will make 1 million dollars off this idea. We will then be bitter. We predicted the hats-with-ears trend like 15 years ago and are we rich? No.

Just As Long As I Don't Have It Under My Nose

All the time! Working at the library at a large university, I saw enough crack to last me a lifetime. Nothing really new about it! As long as it's not under my nose at work all day, I could care less what kind of underwear someone wears.

I also took a peek on the butt cleavage link, and some of the featured pics look fun... and uncomfortable. I like fashion, but i think i"ll pass on this one =)

Surely we're not policing underwear, really!

Okay, so I clicked on the butt cleavage link, and it was all underwear. Surely we don't really care what kind of underwear people are wearing now, do we. (Unless, of course, it is leaving panty lines, then we care very much.) :) I thought those panties were really cute, and if I was "with" someone who loved my butt so much that a tiny peen out the top of my panties did him / her in, you bet I'd put those on for fun. Frankly, they're a whole lot more conservative than some of our most basic non-panty-line panties in most of our drawers now!

If ever there was a personal choice that I really don't think we get to judge, it would be underwear.

If we're going to have butt cleavage, let's go all the way - vag cleavage! Why not? Show it ALL off, ladies. (joking. I am just appalled at the butt thing).

Fashion Week in Review | An Unsettling Fashion Trend

What's happening this week in the world of fashion? We have up and coming designers Sheila Frank and Dorothy Lee, fun in the sun, prairie dresses, and safari fashion. Plus, an unsettling fashion trend: butt cleavage.

Fashiontribes has must-haves for fashionable fun in the sun.

Couture in the City is hitting the safari this summer.

Second City Style says to wear the prairie dress with gladiator sandals--not cowboy boots. Amen to that.

Fabsugar extends an invitation for you to watch the Gucci 2009 Cruise Runway show at Villa Aurelia--via webcast.

Papierblog shines the spotlight on Shelia Frank, an up and coming designer who we may all be wearing someday.

Clothes-Pin introduces us to Dorothy Lee, a line of simple, vintage inspired shapes in lovely colors.

The Budget Fashionista gives us Jennifer Lopez's look for less.

SheFinds discusses an "interesting but unnecessary" trend: butt cleavage.

The It Lists shares a secret for surviving a night in pretty heels: gel cushioning from Airplus for Her.

And over at Omiru: Style for All, we have a figure flattery guide for women with a large bust.
