I know you have lost your partner on these threads:) so I will do my best to
fill Sspark's shoes - as long as they are not stilettos:)
Ooh la la:)
I visited the website SG, and I have to say that while they look nice, and I
am sure are very practical, "Power Panties" must be the most unglamorously
named item of women's thingies I have come across. It even outdoes "Pantene"
which always sounds to me to be the sort of product you wouldn't want the
supermarket checkout chick to call for a price check on, especially if you
have the Wangamarratta rugby team standing in line behind you.
I mean, "Power Panties" are so "in ya face" if you pardon me using that
expression with such an item. It conjures up many images, but none seem to
include sitting by a babbling brook or candlelit bedrooms:) More like an
extreme left feminist Bulgarian weightlifter, who's hormone tests have had
more recounts than a Florida election!
But I must admit, I love the name of the company:)

Okay, stilettos a no, sexy mules a go! Yes, boo hoo about our beauty
threads, but me and Sparklette keep up on our recent beauty finds and
purchases in e-mail. ;) Ooh, I recently found a pink spring shade of
liner, lipstick and gloss that I can WEAR! It's Bare Escentuals
"Wearable Pink" set of three collection, tres gorgeous! ;)

While I haven't given much thought to the name Power Panties, now that I
have, I'd like to think of them as giving you a bit more confidence to
shake your booty in public knowing you don't have ghastly bulges or
panty lines, which I don't mind, as long as the panty fits properly. <g>

Yes, Spanx! That's why I mainly took the time to post about this
company here, plus, most of us are into panties and backsides. ;) I was
going to wait and post after I tried Spanx and to say whether I LOVE
them. I like the fact that they supposedly don't bind anywhere and
don't cause unsightly bulges or leave marks. ;)

Am I one of the few people who find VPL (Visible Panty Line) sexy! To me it
gives a pretty accurate idea of the type of panties the lady is wearing.
With that bit of info, you can create not only a fairly accurate profile of
the lady:) but also some realistic visualisations:)
Which leads me to the question - do panties reflect the woman? I was
thinking of standing on a street corner with a clipboard, and asking 500
women what type of panties they are wearing and what color. Then I would ask
them a few questions about their sexual and private lives.
But these days, you just can't so anything like that without someone
complaining. I know - I'll wear an ID badge as well with the word
"Institute" somewhere on it, that would help. And to make the lady feel more
comfortable, I will only ask those who are accompanied by their boyfriends
or husbands.
Pity though. Using that info, I could get a good idea if "type of
panties=the woman", publish a paper with my findings in "The Lancet", and
become a Spanking Guru with the compulsory black suit, blue shirt and yellow
tie with black spots.

Well to my mind, the answer is simple, logical and above all, cost
effective. You simply choose a pair that are designed to be multifunctional.
Also, time management and forward planning can alleviate some of these
issues.
Tssk, why don't women realise that there are more answers than questions:)

Hey I think I solved your problem. I have started a new business called
"Hitchen Up Your Knickers" and I am thinking "discreet use of" and I'm
thinking - "velcro"

You know Minxy, I bet you'd be one of those kids at school that made my life
difficult when Vanity Fair released "Hitchin' a ride" :)

BTW, try saying my name fast and it sounds like the name of a restaurant. An

Well, dollink, it all depends on the VPL! VPL can be rather ghastly or
very sexy and revealing. Actually, scratch revealing, you don't want to
reveal nothing! <g> I am afraid that any sort of info I would gather on
the typical gal with VPL would be that "the gal" does not know how to
dress. <wink>
A quick word on Spanx, I am not thrilled with the shaper, but the
panties are actually comfy and provide full coverage and shape the junk
in my trunk very nicely. Honestly though, I could take a pass on
shapers of any kind! Just thought it'd give me a little lift and work
nicely under my new pants, and it does, but I could live with or without
them. Now I am humming U2... ;)))
