There's nothing better in life than to ride around on the back of a convertible with a crown on your head.-Suzanne Sugarbaker (Designing Women)

All of my life, I've considered myself to be fairly non-conforming when it comes to fashion. I've always dressed for comfort. Even as a child, I preferred my overalls to "girl clothes". So, I prefer my t-shirts to nightgowns (I don't wake up in the middle of the night choking from silk wrapped around my neck), my sweats to workout clothes (thats easy enough, why spend $100 on workout clothes when you can spend $5 and still accomplish the same thing. It ain't no fashion show, yanno. For goodness sake, all you're going to do is sweat anyway!) and granny panties to bikini's, thongs or any other variety of torture that some man has decided looks "good" on a woman. Now, you know what I'm talking about. Those corset thingys that take two people to operate, and the dental floss that the fashion industry refers to as "must" have undergarments. Well, it happens that I needed to purchase some long overdue undergarments and I made a plan to visit the local department store for the shopping adventure. Standing in the lingerie department, I perused the assortment of dainties. I've seen some of this stuff in the Victoria Secret catalogs, even purchased some for wedding gifts, for much younger women. But never for myself. What the heck, I'm not ancient, yet, this is as good as this body's gonna get, and I might as well try a splurge on myself, right? Well, ladies, I'm here to tell ya, there's not enough fabric to cover Barbie's butt, let alone mine, and the thought of dental floss up my backside...well wedgies ain't no fun. There are no panty lines, because there are NO panties. (Maybe I should have put down that bag of Frito's last night.) Gravity has played some real havoc on my backside. (They used to call these things g-strings, what g stood for I don't have a clue) True enough, wearing silky undies can make you feel secretly sexy, but what's this joke about ?? I'm going back to my 100% cotton granny panties....Oh the comfort!
