Clothing Line Unveils "Abstinence Panties"

<snip>

LAS VEGAS -- Yvette Thomas hopes to defy the adage "Sex Sells."

She's showing her line of no-sex wear at an apparel industry trade show in Las Vegas. Thomas' T-shirts and panties have abstinence slogans like "Virginity Lane: Exit When Married" and "No vows, No sex."

You might think that a message of wait-until-marriage would be a tough sell in Sin City. But Thomas said a number of people have told her they like her message.

She said when she launched her company five years ago, the first pair of panties she sold was to a father buying them for his teenage daughter.

3. She'd make more
If they had a dotted line and a message like, "This way to the clitoris, dummy."

4. Better put an arrow
or a circle at the end of the line. Maybe a flashing LED? Can't be too specific.

Should we demand a royalty for these suggestions? I think so.

7. Wait a minute
Our side propagandizes on underwear too. Have you forgotten Axis of Eve, makers of panties that say "Lick Bush" and "Weapon of Mass Seduction"?

15. Awww! It's no fun when you point out facts like that!
Besides, if I'm close enough to read the slogan off a woman's knickers the meaning is already lost on me! :evilgrin:

12. Fancy Panties leads to the devil!
I had a friend in high school whose mother would only buy her huge "granny"-style panties. She explained to us that "only whores need fancy panties." :)

As disturbed (and wrong) that she was, I can imagine how funny it will be for these teens to show off their "abstinence panties" right before taking them off for a partner.
