You need to wear “this thong” update!

June 25, 2008 · 5 Comments

According to ALL my girlfriends who have read the thong entry, I must add this important postscript!

The thong recommended by the 30ish/40ish non-cougar crowd is the HANKY PANKY panty from Nordstrom.  However, as I previously mentioned, I drive a politically incorrect gas guzzling SUV, and the nearest Nordstrom is not as close as my nearest Target.  So guess what, I went another route!  It is summer.  The kids are not in school.  I have very little free time at this point.   I certainly was not going to invest in a long car ride with three children in order to purchase a pair of $26 undies when I was not even sure if I could handle this new fashion trend.

I found thongs which look just like the Hanky Panky panty just around the corner from the 100-calorie pack nutter butters in my favorite store – Target!  And, I don’t even feel the need to pronounce it tar-zjay because I am just not that girl anymore.  So, these thongs are from Target’s exclusive upscale line, Gilligan & O’Malley®.  I may not be that materialistic teenage Miami girl anymore but I am still not buying xhiliration panties – I mean come on, you can take the girl out of South Florida but you can’t take the South Florida completely out of the girl.

Back to the important info though.  Here are the links to the panties!

Hanky Panky Panty link – $26 each:

Easier, more convenient and practical store link – $9.99 for a pack of three:

Attempting to try on jeans in the dressing room at Buckle with your darling five year old son peaking in AND simultaneously, trying to explain why it is actually okay that Mommy’s underwear is going up her butt – PRICELESS!

    i am in love and addicted to reading this stuff! I just picture Sarah Jessica Parker in a wife beater tank top laying on her bed writing this. Maybe HBO needs a peek at this! Forget single women….Let’s hear from the suburban Mommy!
    You are awesome and I am very proud of you!
