September has been the fastest month in history. I blink and it's over. In fact, I don't even remember it. What did I do yesterday? I am all of the above right now. Just happy and calm and quite and peaceful. Life couldn't be better. What more is there to say really? The word of the day always manages to say it all.
The only topic I heard worth discussing today (and just barely at that) was from the Gene Weingarten chat on the Washington Post. When I get really bored at work, I tend to spent the entire day reading the chats. Click, submit, click, scan chat, click, submit. If you work with me, you fully understand that statement.
...Anyway, this is a topic that is regularly discussed on Gene's chat. Here is a post from today:
Arlington, Va.: This question is posed by a woman who (of course) spent years trying to avoid VPL only to find out men actually like it. How has the increasing prevalence of thong underwear among young(er) women affected the VPL phenomenon? Are you guys disappointed? Or do the low slung pants with visible thong strap still work for you?
Gene Weingarten: It's a demonic development. A disaster.
One of my biggest pet peeves is the visibility of underwear lines on women. It looks ugly and almost embarrassing at times because it pushes fat in directions it shouldn't be pushed. Why do men find this attractive? It bunches, it gets all uneven, and then women end up picking it out of their a** all day. How, JUST HOW, is that attractive? I understand that I do not have the mind of a man, so I shouldn't presume to *know* why, or even be ABLE to know why, even if I'm told flat out, but the way I see it is, if you detect the fact that there is no vpl, are you not more curious as to whether the woman is wearing them at all, or perhaps wonder more what they may look like? If you see vpl, you can pretty much assume they're ugly granny panties, can't you? Ew. I'd rather date a woman who wears a thong than granny underwear -- lines or no lines -- anyday. Am I wrong in my thinking?

I don't get why anybody would find VPL attractive, but maybe I would if I were gay.
As for this:
You need the "killer bod" to get away with wearing a thong. If you don't know, it's best not to wear them.
I understand that if you're gonna get naked, but if it's just regular day-to-day wear and nobody sees you with just the thong, I don't see where it's a huge problem.
It does seem like the people I most often see with pantylines aren't overweight--it's always the sort of uptight thirty-somethingish mom with high-waisted pants and no back pockets. Is this just me?
I hate underwear and if it wasn't for the preservation of my trousers/pants, I would never wear them. It's bad enough my chubs hangin over the waist of my pants, do I really need the elastic of my gutchies to further restrict me? No way!
VPL gross. What I find interesting is that thongs used to indicated sexual liberation (i.e, women who wear them are more likely to be less square), but now they are just plain good taste. And for the love of humanity, people, do NOT wear white undergarmets WHATEVER YOU DO. Words of the day = pink, beige, nude, cream.

Chris, why should some people never wear thongs? Except, as Timoni pointed out, if they're seen naked. I am of the opposite opinion, that most women SHOULD wear thongs because it's way more attractive on the rearend.
And as for fat/skinny people and their VPL, no matter who you are, it scrunches and pushes skin/fat in the wrong areas and looks gross.
I would prefer the thongs off. It's a matter of taste. I don't like them. Timonster's point is well taken- if it's regular day-to-day wear, then it doesn't really matter. If it makes the wearer feel better, and more comfortable, then why should I care?
