  • Thongs vs. Granny Panties: Are Big Drawls Making A Comeback??

    Jun, 2 2015 | Written by ATLien

    NEWSFLASH! Beyonce is not the only one seeking comfortable underwear these days.? While Queen B’s pic is being used for demonstrative purposes only, it seems that younger women these days prefer to rock granny panties more than just that one special week a month.

    A new study shows that there’s a young generation of women who have discovered a brand new kinda ‘sexy’ in the most unlikely of places: their grandmothers? underwear drawers!

    ?When I walk into a lingerie store, I?m always like, ?O.K., which drawer in here is for the grannies?? ? Daphne Javitch, 35, said of her predilection for ample-bottomed undies.

    That preference led Ms. Javitch, back in 2010, to found Ten Undies, a line with a cult following that sells cotton full-bottom bikinis, boy shorts and high-waist briefs not unlike the kind immortalized in ?Bridget Jones?s Diary.? (?Hello, mommy.?) Ten?s wares are comfortable and practical, to be sure, but that?s hardly the only draw.

    Apparently sales of thongs have dropped 7% over the past year and the study shows tat sales of underwear styles offering more coverage (i.e. ‘granny panties) have actually increased 17% during the same time period.

    More details about this growing popularity of granny panties below…

    According to a report in the New York Times, sales of thongs have dropped 7% over the last year. Conversely, the date from NPD Group reveals that underwear styles offering more coverage have jumped 17%.

    Erica Russo, the fashion director for accessories, cosmetics and intimate apparel at Bloomingdale?s, said that indeed there has been a ?shift in the business.? She noted that the trend is in line with the higher-waist and roomier pants styles that have dominated fashion this season. Sexy Spectacular - Click to Watch Full Video

    The thong bathing suit was introduced in 1974 by designer Rudi Gernreich as a protest against Los Angeles banning nude beaches. What?s mostly forgotten is that Gernreich created skimpy suits for both women and men. (No idea why only one caught on.)

    It wasn?t until the ?90s, however, that thong underwear became ubiquitous, popping out of the backs of women?s jeans, young and old, famous and civilian. They were so popular back then, they actually earned Sisq? multiple Grammy nominations.

    But times have changed and so has a woman’s right to choose her drawls! Not only have we embraced bonnets, we’re rocking ‘granny panties’ too!

    Granny Panties 2015?I only wear granny panties,? Julia Baylis, a willowy 22-year-old, declared proudly. Ms. Baylis and her best friend, Mayan Toledano, 27, design the boutique clothing label Me and You.

    Their best seller is a pair of white cotton underpants with the word ?feminist? printed in pink bubble letters across the rear. Since the line?s introduction on April 7, the panties have sold out.

    ?Most lingerie is designed to appeal to a man,? Ms. Baylis said. ?For us, that?s not even a consideration. This is underwear you wear totally for you. Maybe no one will see it, or maybe you?ll put it up on Instagram to share with everyone you know.?

    At the end of the day, it’s all about options and the freedom of choice.

    ?There?s nothing wrong with wanting to be more traditionally sexy and wearing a thong; that doesn?t mean you?re not a feminist,? Ms. Toledano said.

    ?This is a step toward embracing more variety in what?s offered.?

    Are you a conservative Connie or a butt bearing Bernice?

    Are you surprised that ‘Granny panties’ are making a comeback?

        PART 2 (see previous post) — Listen closely to t PART 2 (see previous post) — Listen closely to the words that came out of Colorist Claudia’s own mouth. Again… can someone please point out where I’ve ever LIED on this woman??? When have I ever played the victim?? And how on earth did her being a colorist get to be about Nene Leakes?? Colorist Claudia is delusional and for those who are wondering, she left this lengthy voice message via DM to one of my subscribers (a complete stranger to both of us) who innocently asked her why she won’t take accountability for her words. I’m done beating this dead horse but after over 15 years blogging, one thing I have NEVER done is lie. When you find one, let me know. Until then, I’m always gonna call it how I see it whether you like it or not!!! #straightfromthea #atlien #atlienlive #claudiajordan #foxsoul #rhoa #bravotv #teagif #colorism #blackhistorymonth #truthhurts
        PART 1 - Is it MY fault that colorist Claudia Jord PART 1 - Is it MY fault that colorist Claudia Jordan has continuously said colorist hateful things?? Her words have all been caught on tape but she has always placed the blame on someone else. First it’s her “boyfriend” who leaked a tape of her saying racist, colorist things and then it’s me, a blogger who GOOGLED the colorist hateful things that she’s said. When does she take accountability? I’m confused. Instead of playing the victim Caren Colorist Claudia, perhaps you should address the colorist racist things that you say and continue to say online. Don’t worry, just like you have a platform, so do I. And I will keep my foot on your neck for as long as you continue to accuse me of lying on you. WHERE IS THE LIE???? #straightfromthea #atlienlive #foxsoul #claudiajordan #colorism #teagif #rhoa #bravotv #blackhistorymonth (let me know if y’all want me to post part 2 if this clip)
