4/6     Heck, I'll try it. Anybody here know where one can buy a string (i.e
        Brazilian as opposed to thong) bikini brief? Thongs seems to have
        driven strong bikinis off the mkt and my so won't wear thongs.
        \_ La Perla, Agent Provocateur (if you want to make a good
           impression), Victoria's Secret (so-so, overpriced & sometimes
           lacks quality apparently), Janet Reger, and pretty much any
           lingerie store around.  Don't be shy about walking in and asking
           for help.  I assume this is for women's underwear.  For swimwear,
           try http://wickedweasel.com, or just STFW.  -John
           \_ Cosabella (Italian) on the higher end or
              La Senza (Canadian) on the lower end.
              \_ La Senza is pretty much what I was looking for. Thanks!
                 John, thank you, too. I neglected to mention that I'm
                 looking for underwear-ish stuff rather than lingerie. 78
                 pounds for a frickin' thong? I wonder how that compare by
                 weight with the price of gold?
                 \_ Victoria's Secret, as mentioned, is overpriced and bad
                    quality.  As for underwear vs. lingerie, we're not talking
                    Frederick's of Hollywood here (bad idea.)  There needn't
                    be a difference--a lot of female friends of mine wear
                    undie cuts that a few years ago you would have seen in the
                    back of men's mags--they tell me it's comfortable.  -John
                    back of men's mags--they tell me it's comfortable.  And
                    apologies for not considering that you might be on a
                    budget--H&M is pretty popular with students here, and
                    Princesse Tamtam, Huit as well.  -John
                 \_ Ya, La Senza is cheaper than VS but supposedly better.
                 \_ Sex >> Gold.
                    \_ GIve it up.  No one wants you in bed.
                        \_ With enough gold you can have almost anyone in
                           bed regardless of what you look like.
                           \_ well, no.
                                \_ actually he/she's right. just look at
                                   pop culture.
                                   \_ "you can have someone hot" != "you can
                                      have almost anyone"
              \_ just a note. Cosabella gets rave reviews for comfort.
                                        \_ Exhibits A and B: Verne Troyer and
                                           William Hung.  Oh, and lets not
                                           forget infinite numbers of ugly
                                           rappers.

                                           married ?

                                           \_ I knew a really nice (hot) girl
                                              who William Hung would call all
                                              the time. She had no interest in
                                              him but always always still very
                                              nice to him. Her boyfriend
                                              thought the whole situation was
                                              pretty funny (WH knew about him).
                                              \_ That means he probably
                                                 fucked her once. Pity fuck,
                                                 of course.

                 \_ Thanks for the tip.
                    Just stopped into Nordstrom's to see about Cosabella.
                    Unfortunately, all they had was thongs. DKNY and CK both
                    actually had some nice string bikinis. I couldn't check
                    them for comfort, though...The search continues.
                        \_ Don't worry psb has already prechecked for comfort.
