Super High Thongs are Always Wrong
When I read this to my husband Christmas morning I thought he would spit coffee on me from laughing...

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05359/626730.stm

"By LaMont Jones, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Ask LaMont your own style and fashion question.

Q: I think it's very, very, very, sexy for me to wear low-rise jeans and then for me to pull my thong up very high on my waist so that the sides of the thong show above my pants. I really get a reaction out of people at the grocery store and when I go to pick up my dog at the dog day-care place, and at church. And you should see the guys at the clubs when I walk in. But my boss has told me that even though Friday is casual Friday, it's inappropriate for me to wear my thong like that. Is this workplace discrimination and harassment? I don't want to get in trouble at work or suffer a professional failure just because I am so smokin' hot, but I also like to express myself through fashion. What could I do?"

Click on the link for the answer to this fashion question...

11. Maybe......
A few weeks ago I had to assure my mother that an ankle length skirt and $800 dollar boots didn't make her look like a slut when she went to church. So maybe not....

9. I don't know if it was a man or a woman, but...

I'll bet that $100 that it is not a genuine letter.

It's just too full of description and stereotype.

I might go so far as to say it was the columnist himself or one of his coworkers who made that little beauty up.

Who says things like "I don't want to suffer professional failure because I'm so smokin' hot"?

12. Yep, I was thinking the columnist wrote it as well.
The smokin' part and the church... worried about professional failure. What...ev...er. Definitely not a sincere letter, either it's a joke or it's the columnist's own.

15. I believe people DO things like that...
and use poor judgment when dressing for work, but I don't believe this letter is genuine. It sounds as though it were written by someone making fun of women who dress like that.

16. Oh, I've definitely met women like that... but it doesn't change the fact
that the letter rings "fake" to me. I doubt that a woman who has the gall to wear a wedgie-ized thong in church would bother writing a letter asking if she's making a fashion faux-pas.

7. "in church"
:rofl:

She also expresses herself through the "Meow Mix" ringtone, according a google of "Cassie Keller"+Kansas. This Cassie Keller also likes to "express herself through fashion and stuff"

8. I feel her pain....
But you can be smokin' hot without showing your panties. Not that I have a problem with it. But work, church... probably not the best places for that sort of self expression. (of course it's easy for me, in my church we all go skyclad)

10. Unfortunately ~ I've seen a few local employees who think that's okay.
Personally ~ I'm not interested in what color or type of undies you're sporting today.

17. I have a funny story to share....regarding those kind of panties
my neice wears them...(she bought them with her own money)...my sister hates it but...the gal is 17 and she doesn't think that it is the fight to really argue over...

so....one day my neice is somewhere and she goes to put on a pullover and lo behold these panties were stuck in the sleeve (got caught in their during the wash or dry cycle)...so she is really embarrassed and so she hides them in her mom's purse...

so my sister (a nurse) has these pair of slinky thong panties in her purse and they get caught in the cpr mask she takes with her everywhere....so while at work she is sorting through her purse and she pulls out the mask ...and out pops the thong panties...luckily my sister was with friends and they joked about it...but my neice was thoroughly embarrassed...

14. I think any clothing choice is fine so long as it looks good on you
Some people taking the biggest risks should re-evaluate their wardrobe based on my above rule.
