<p>This will come as a surprise to exactly no one: <a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/2010/08/pretty.html" target="_blank">I&#39;m not a fan of the thong</a>.</p>
<p>So of course, I wrote an ode to the fall of the thong for Blogher Style.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Have you heard? Thong underwear is dead! (Oh please, please let it be true!)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Can you imagine a world without <a href="http://www.blogher.com/frame.php?url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whale_tail">whale tails</a>?  I think that would be a wonderful world to live in, but the demise of  the thong has been greatly exaggerated for years now. I&#39;m not about to  get my hopes up just yet.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Of course, the demise of one type of undergarment calls for the rise  of another -- and people who think about these things have decided that  the new <em>new</em> thing is actually an old thing. (Strange, because this <em>never</em> happens in fashion.) The new old thing is (are you ready for this?): Granny panties.</span></p>
