Dear Japan, We Need To Talk
Dear Japan;
Recently I’ve heard rumblings about a new fashion trend you plan to unleash on the world…the “Panty Skirt”. Ok, I get it, these ARE NOT see through as it appears:
They are actually PRINTED SKIRTS that make it look like you are *ahem* showing off your “assets” (pun intended):
In general, Japan, I think these are a really bad idea but I really don’t get this one…what’s up with the scrunchy panties? That looks UNCOMFORTABLE:
(Side Note: Something like this actually happened to me once at a client lunch at the very beginning of my career when I was in my 20’s. Back then I didn’t realize more than one glass of wine at lunch was a really bad idea…and four was even worse. At some point, I got up to go to the bathroom and I had on one of those big foofy 80’s dresses? Well, it got hung up in my panty hose….because we wore those back then kiddos…and I walked all the way through the restaurant with my “assets” on display, and also I think dragging a strand of toilet paper. One of my prouder memories to be sure.)
Wait, Japan…where was I?
Oh yes, this skirt issue.
I’m going to have to demand that you keep this particular trend to yourself because I promise you, if I wake up one morning and see my daughter wearing one of these, you will have me to answer to.
…and trust me, you really don’t want that.
Yours,
TSM

Yeah, but….would it make my butt look smaller?

This is just a bad idea. If you wear a thong and have a great ass…then you’re just showing off. If you’re like me and wear granny panties…then that’s just subjecting people to cruel and unusual punishment.

Who comes up with this shit anyway?
Dear TSM,
Why did you bring this disturbing trend to my attention? Do you like the idea of the nightmares this will bring me? Do you secretly laugh at the thought of NGS waking up in a cold sweat at the thought of this fashion trend becoming a regular sight in the streets of my hometown? Thanks so much for that.
Best, NGS

Bizarre!!! But if it made my butt look better I might get one just for “indoors”, if you know what I mean…
Suzy Voicess last blog post..Happy Birthday ElectraWoman!
I landed in the middle of the page and was dumb-struck by the idea of what appeared to be see through panels . . . um, almost, TG that it’s not that, but printing butts on a perfectly good skirt?
I’m not sure if that’s pushing fashion or social commentary.
I too wore pantyhose back in the day. In Winter, dressing with layers always left me slightly panic stricken about tucking one layer into the pantyhose. Still does. Still does.
*shakes head*
Only the Japanese. Hopefully, this will be one of those things that stays over there, like the panty vending machines.

Well, technically, it would make my “butt” look better, so maybe?
Sprite’s Keepers last blog post..Spin Cycle: Driver’s Ed, I’m Shotgun. And you are?
OMG I think I have seen it all! No way in hell I would be caught dead….but those ass look alot better them mine..umm!
I had to call my daughter into the room to show her this one.
Soooo funny. And yet, soooo gross.

No, that snope thing is exactly what I was saying…they aren’t transparent, they are printed skirts which makes it even crazier that they would have the one with the panties all scrunched up.
Those are a RIOT!

I guess I might as well own the fact that I’ve always got a wedgie, anyway.
Sams last blog post..D’You Know What I Mean?
There is no question that the age of Panty Hose is over–and therefore the age where women got their skirts stuck in their panty hose.
Nonetheless, the dress dichotomy continues…
Um. Wow? Actually, what I really mean is WTF?! That is just – no.

I would not like panty skirts.
My husband, on the other hand, would probably love them. Of course then he’d be all distracted when we went out because he’d be so busy watching them. Then I’d get insulted and call him a pervert and he’d get mad at me for calling him a pervert and…well, it’s just best that panty skirts don’t make their way over to America.

Darn, I was hoping that these were real, really…
OK, come on – I’m a guy. Forgive Me
Damons last blog post..Hello
I’d totally wear that because it’s like camouflage for the real ass lurking beneath the fabric. I wonder, though, if it would piss off a date. You know, like when he takes off your bra and realizes that ALL THAT was just a bunch of wadded up tp.

I’m sooo not getting this trend. Don’t we spend all our time trying to prevent people from seeing our underwear?! First “Sex and the City” with all those damn bras that chick would wear showing with her Oscar de la Renta dresses and now this? WTF?!
Paige Laceys last blog post..Fore!
That is an area I would prefer to NOT draw more attention to…

Those skirts have rendered me speechless. Well, almost.
How much are they paying you to advertise those skirts?
;op
Holy Mother of All That is Tacky! Those are just horrifying. If they ever pick up here I swear I’m officially putting Japan on my black book. Sushi or no sushi.

Dude! I beat the trend with the real thing. I actually wore a dress that was beige in color and dark blue underwear… and guess what – it was in the middle of church!!!! Now that’s HAWT!!!!

This is incredibly strange. I mean, I totally don’t know fashion, but come on, you aren’t even supposed to show your pantie line, much less a whole fake butt. Those are as bad as those cover up t-shirts with the bikini body on them.
Jannas last blog post..Bittersweet Day
OMG! These are horrible!! Besides – like you, I’ve done this IRL myself!! A couple of years ago – I came out of the restroom and didn’t realize that my skirt had too, gotten bunched up in my pantyhose. A kind, male co-worker, pointed out my fashion faux paux – so. not. my. best moment.
Jills last blog post..Ok – so it’s been three days instead of two
You know I was just saying to Millhouse; “wouldn’t it be great if I had a skirt with granny panties printed on the butt”? And there they are!
That’s just wow!

not really a skirt, apparently
If my girl friend was wearing one, say around the house, it’d drive me crazy. I wouldn’t be able to keep my hands off of her. I love it!
