Thongs in the Media

[JamesSD]

When exactly did it happen that it was ok for thongs to be in the media?

I'm not complaining. The specific example I'm citing is my local newspaper, the Union Tribune, posted a gallery of photos in their online version from the Victoria's Secret fashion show. Included amongst the pictures were the backsides of the models, with a few pictures of thongs or g-strings.

I know that Victoria's Secret helped popularize the thong in the US. But I also know that for a long time while VS was selling a lot of thongs, they would rarely actually show the backside of models wearing one in their catalogs. At some point I know their online store started showing backside views.

I imagine this is part of the digital age. While the U-T would probably never print a thong picture in its print edition, the web has different rules. At the same time, I'm fairly sure women (and men?) can wear thongs to the beach if they so choose; only nipples and genitals have to be covered by law on most beaches.

Not fair to start a thread like this without links!

All apologies, I assumed incorrectly everyone had seen the pictures from the Victoria's secret show.

Here is the thong in question

It's a very nice bottom.

I hadn't kept up, but thank you! Very nice, indeed.

Oh, very pert, I'm sure.

You know, I don't think I have ever seen a VS catalogue; online or printed.

Just yesterday on NFL football, a running back's ass was momentarily bared while the defender was trying to tackle him. It will be interesting to see if the FCC fines the network. (This is an example of why we must have women's football.)
