This is a better view of the good colour match she made. I think it's a bit creepy.

I think that showing a thong is always wrong. There, I said it.

Ha, I was about to link that photo. Yeah, it does make you do a double-take. I would prefer red so there would be less thinking about underpants.

Halle did this thing one time with beaded straps, and I think it looked pretty.

But I spent my early twenties flashing bra straps left right and centre, so I'm obviously an underwear hootchie.

Bra straps are extremely mainstream now (on my college campus). Strappy camisole over thin-strapped bra doesn't even merit my notice anymore.

I am also stunned by how many women tan.

I once saw a girl wearing a black racerback tank with a plain white bra, just as basic as can be. As much as I don't like it, I can sort of wrap my mind around showing a pretty bra, but just wearing a random bra, ugh.

Not about underwear, but this made me happy: [link]

I like that visible bra straps are getting to be no big deal. Makes me feel better about mine, which I don't try to show off, but they do fall out from under anything sleeveless.

I think I remember the surprisingly classy Halle thong. It's hard to pull off. Gillian Anderson, I think, also managed. I kind of like the thong strings visible above the low-cut jeans look, though. Probably the hooker-chic of my youth messed up fashion sense beyond repair.

The illusion of nudity Venus has going on, I don't know, it's troubling, but I feel like maybe it should not be troubling and I should just try harder to get over it.

I still get weirded out if my bra straps show accidentally. And when I see cute spaghetti strap tops, I always think about how I'd need to wear a tank top under it.

I heartily disapprove of visible thongs under jeans. Just, no. Also, if your pants are thinnish and light colored, for the love of god, do not wear hot pink or orange thongs. I don't need to know that.
