1. There was a California Gov candidate....
...who was financing her campaign by selling thongs. Does that count?

5. I don't think so.
I think this was one of teh more serious contenders. Well, serious in that they actually wanted the job.

3. Sensible panties!
Having worn thongs myself (in a moment when I thought the things were erotic) I can understand why women don't like them. Even if they think they have to wear them for "fashion's sake" (like they do those foot-destroying high heels).

A band might get more female fans if their merchandise were nice, comfortable, full-coverage bikini panties. With the logo printed somewhere else than the crotch, so that would remain absorbant and comfortable. Along with a note saying, "You can relax and enjoy our concerts wearing these. We can't promise that you'll relax wearing Poison's thongs instead."

4. Thongs? - heck, there's hardly any room on them for a LOGO, even !!

I have nothing against thongs, it's just that if you want to market the band a wee bit with logos or Images,

Thongs ain't no good for that! . :silly:
