Breaking: Thongs losing popularity
I never thought I wouldn’t be surprised to read something like this. I guess it’s because I’ve seen the decline of thongs first hand?
THONG sales have collapsed by nearly 20% in the past year, signalling a backlash against a symbol of �chav� culture. [...] retail industry data indicate that sales nationally have fallen by 17% in one year. At some retailers the fall is even sharper: Harvey Nichols, the department store chain, sold 43% fewer thongs in April to June this year compared with 2004.
From past personal interviews that I’ve “conducted” ahem, the general consensus was that thongs were uncomfortable yet a wardrobe necessity. Although they may be sexy to look at on a woman from time to time, the women that I know prefer Boyshorts. For the sake of readers who don’t know what Boyshorts are, I forced myself to visit Victoria Secrets for a visual aid. Such torture! On a side note: Which do you prefer wearing or looking at?
