And yes, when it does show accidentally, it is embarrassing. As steph said, an exposed thong isn’t always intentional. And yes, when it does show accidentally, it is embarrassing.

Why would you call another woman a skank even if her thong is showing, or her bra strap? Why would it bother you? Ladies wear what you want to wear, if you are feeling freaky fly that thong full mast, who cares, as long as you are comfortable with it. Do you ever hear men going to other men, “Dude, you not planning on wearing that?” Of course not, men look at their friends as friends, regardless what they wear. The guy could just roll out of bed, and his friend would shrug his shoulders and say lets go, they do not care and they do not judge, because they are his friends and only care if his friend has his back. Why should it be different for us? Women have a tendency to judge other women harshly, the question is why? So instead of you telling all women what you think is skanky or classy, how about you start looking a bit deeper, and give us real advice, for example How to help a friend who is in an abusive relationship, and please, not the happy little booklet they hand out, but the real stuff, because let us be honest, men walk through restraining orders as if they mean nothing, the police barely help, we as women need some real advice on what to do.

Have some class, ladies. Either wear a top that covers the straps or buy a strapless bra (or corset like I have. ^.^ Yay for having a friend that makes period Edwardian corsets with steel boning. My waist and breast go no where. ) -Wear your size for goodness sake! Girls who are bit large either in breasts or all-around, please to not wear tiny skimpy outfits, they're not at all flattering and make you either look bigger or like a H-O on the go. That doesn't mean wear baggy clothing either, though. As a slightly bigger woman, I love to wear clothes that are slightly form fitting and flatter my curves rather than flaunt them or hide them. And tiny slender ladies? Don't walk around in baggy clothing 5 sizes too big for you! In short, ladies, wear something that fits and is flattering, not either of the two extremes. -Socks with sandals. End. Of. Story. -Say it with me...Crocs. Ewwww. They're great for the community shower, but to wear to class or, as my roommate did once *cringe* wear them on a date. -The Maxi dress. I. HATE. THESE. THINGS. They are gigantic and roomy and keep you cool, of course, but they do NOTHING for a person's figure! They hide what you have and make you appear bigger than you are. 'Nuff said.
