Ha Ha Ha!
Good news is that the thong is going out ladies, it now only makes up 13% of underwear sales! Best piece of news I've heard in a long time:)
This blog is about what makes me, me. It's an attempt not to feel trapped about what to blog about, but to be a bit of a free for all. You will find posts on politics, my life, my loves (especially vintage and eco living) and what makes me buzz, jump up and down and sing from my soap box! You will also find me occasionally mentioning my life's love - James, James & Nigel. Don't Ask!

It's all a lie put out by the anti-thong radicals. The thong is the most hygienic item of underwear and it's very popular in North Wales where I live.
