Today’s WTF: Strapless G-strings! (Possibly NSFW)

29 May

People who’ve seen me check my e-mail know that I am a repeat offender of actually clicking on the ads that Gmail serves up in the “Web Clips” bar. It’s brought me a lot of wonders during my time at Gmail. Why, just last night, I was showing my boyfriend how Gmail thinks my life could change if I were to get mahself a sugar daddy. After listing out the pros and cons I opted to continue hanging out with him, though. The pet name “Sugar Baby” just doesn’t fit me. Anyway…

I was going through a checklist from Starving in LA while Photoshopping her headshots (I know, sometimes I marvel at what I’m doing with my own time, too.) when some headshot photographer’s ad ran across the top of my inbox. Reasoning that seeing what pros do to touch up their headshots would be a good reference point, I clicked.

I’m not going to bother posting the URL here, because it’s not like I’m Google and I’m getting paid to post the link, but I will summarize my reaction to the portfolio thusly: “Oh my, that’s pretentious. But…I like the colors?” One client in particular stood out to me among the awkwardly stern CD cover shots and unphotogenic models.

I give you SHIBUE Couture’s Strapless G String Panties. (Makes me wanna cheer “Shibue, sha-sha, Shibue, ROLL CALL!”) These would be fantastic inclusions for a goodie bag if, say, AMC Theatres were to give all the ladies in line at tonight’s midnight showing of Sex and the City something to remember their Star Wars-esque antics by. I’m just sayin’.

Update: The sample has arrived!

Update: Read the review!

Update: Read the corrections!

…No panty lines! And look!

Perfect For:
* Form fitting dresses
* High Cut dresses
* Pole dancing
* Sunbathing
* Spas and salons
You will love these fabulous panties!
Included in each package is one beautiful pair of SHIBUE couture Strapless G String panties and six front and six back adhesive strips.

I’m no lingerie designer, and I usually love inventive re-purposing of traditional designs, but does this just scream “bad idea” to anyone else? I had this conversation with a male the other week, about men and how they may sometimes turn their boxers inside out and call them “clean.” His response was that for women it doesn’t make hygienic sense to do the same thing, because “women’s underwear is so much more fitted.” I agreed with him on that point, and we promptly went on to other conversation topics.

So these, these strapless panty things. Are they smart? Does the notion of sticking pads of adhesive onto your party zone and on your otherwise-plumber crack make you wince? “Tangerine Scream,” anyone?

I guess I shouldn’t knock it til I try it, but…That’ll only happen if Shibue Couture sends me a free sample in the mail.

    If you want to try a pair, why not send an email to SHIBUE. Maybe someone there will be able to answer your somewhat lame comments. Until you’ve tried them, I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss. Of course if your afraid to step outside the box-no pun intended-these panties aren’t for you!!

    That would be a terrific suggestion if I actually cared.

    Thanks for stopping by to trade somewhat lame comments, Juls! :D

    wOw this strapless g-string must be the best invention since the toaster ! (hint of sarcasm). First of all if I saw a girl walking past me with those and had no knowledge I would tell her she had something in her ass ! lol
    All this time when I am looking at the quote on quote “panties” how the hell do that stay in your crouch, better make sure that adhesive sticks.

    Why do Shibue when you can do Commando?

    Once you try them you will LOVE them! There is reason why you should “SHIBUE” instead of going “Commando”….remember Britney, Paris and Lindsay to name a few! That is why I designed, for a solution to NOT having to go “Commando” and still NOT have any panty lines! Truly it is a solution issue…I would love for you to try them, contact me directly and I will send you a pair. It is nice when people can speak from actual knowledge rather than speculation.
    All the best,
    Jenny

      Ooh, good question. Maybe this calls for more double-stick tape…
