How the Stars Popularized the Sexy Thong


Many of the big name celebrities of today favor thongs over other types of sexy lingerie. What is it about the sexy thong that makes it the preferred lingerie of the stars? Since the 90’s, the thong has shot right to the top as the lingerie design of choice among women and today it represents about one out of every five lingerie sold in the US. Although the sexy thong is believed to have reached its peak, it is still the choice of the stars. Some of the celebrities that were spotted in public wearing a thong in recent times include big names like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Paris Hilton, Kylie Minogue, Ginger Spice and Toni Braxton, to name a few. Many have made the news in gossip and entertainment magazines donning the sexy thong. Even the infamous Monica Lewinsky wore a thong when her deeds with President Clinton were exposed. With so much ‘exposure’ given by these big names, it is not surprising that the sexy thong has become a big part of pop culture. In 2003, Australian superstar Kylie Minogue capitalized on the popularity of the thong by launching her own brand of sexy lingerie, aptly called ‘Love Kylie’. She got her inspiration for the lingerie from film, fashion, travel and friends. According to reports, she positioned her range of sexy lingerie as fashionable, flirtatious and enjoyable to wear. One of the reasons why the thong has become so popular is because of the absence of unsightly panty lines. In fashion circles, this became known as VPL or ‘visible panty lines’. Another reason why the sexy thong is liked is because it is a tease, as it gives the illusion that one is not wearing anything. So, the guys will always be wondering... “Is she wearing anything underneath?” It is amusing to note that the sexy thong became so popular in recent years that the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) predicted in 2002 that the popularity of thong lingerie would stimulate an increase in cosmetic surgery of the buttocks, including for contouring of full buttocks and buttock augmentation for adding curves to flat buttocks. The sexy thong has become such a big item that even lawmakers tried to clamp down on its excesses. In the state of Louisiana a few years back, there were attempts by state legislators to impose a fine or a 6-month jail term on people that exposed their sexy lingerie in public. Incidentally, the state of Louisiana is where Britney Spears hails from. Perhaps this was the reason why Britney was spotted without any underwear in public while partying with Hollywood socialite, Paris Hilton in the second half of 2006.
