What is with this 'whale tail' fashion'

I find that the whale tail fashion is rather distasteful. What says you guys (I started this cause I was bored, got the pictures from Wikipedia)

Well, considering you're not actually allowed to stare...

Like all fashions, it depends who the person is, and where they are.
However, in almost any situation, on almost anybody, my opinion of someone’s intelligence that is sporting this “wail tale” fashion drops somewhat drastically. Probably because my first instinct is to assume that they are not capable of properly dressing themselves.

Better to have it sticking out then have a pair of pants cover it.:p

Not distasteful, just tasteless and showing a lack of class.
I can't help but think, "Sweaty buttcrack!" when I see a whaletail, especially if it's on a really fat girl.
Thank god men haven't started doing this.

It's really sort of normal at my school. I don't care for it one way or another, but I guess it can be sexy. I don't think it's gross in any way.

It's not that bad, it's kind of the enevitable end result of low cut jeans and thongs both being popular.

I just get the urge to remove that butt-floss. It has to be irritating.

They probably wouldn't thank me though.:(

Oh comon, if they didn't want us to stare, they shouldn't have dressed that way.

Men don't wear thongs... at least, rappers don't.

No, but most of our underwear sticks out teh top of our pants.

Y'know, I hate the feeling of sagging jeans. It's why I wear a belt. Or suspenders.

...I say, wear boxers, or go commando. And if it's your jeans that are squeezing your nuts, you should get a new pair.

Really, I just hate feeling of my pants slipping off my ass. Makes running through traffic a bitch.

depends on the bum and the pants, although if you can still see the thong when the person is standing that is not attractive.

Being a female, I tend to not have problems in that area. I should hope most girls don't use that as an excuse either. :p I can understand if a little bit pokes out accidentially; the few times I've worn a thong I've noticed they like to ride up somewhat. If it's sticking out all the time though, it's time to buy a belt, get some suspenders, or, at the very least, start pulling up your pants periodically. :p

A thong is a thong, it's just a peice of underwear. I don't see anything wrong with wearing one, so long as it's under clothes. And I agree with Hoofyfoofy that sure they do ride up accidently some times but making it a fashion statement is absolutely horrendous.. I specially hate how fashion like this, has targetted young girls (and I mean young) ex. I went with my friend to visit her little sister at elementry school one day and we litterally pulled her out of school and drove her home to change while reading her the riot act. *shakes head*

Meh, personally I'm not such a great fan of thongs. Dunno why - maybe it's jsut the whole 'wow, that must be like a wedgie that you can't rid of' vibe that puts me off, like feeling someone else's pain. But yeah, there's sexier underwewar than thongs. My girlfriend, for example, has some simply edible pants that are just marvellous, and not thong-like at all :)


NB: Not literally edible. I wouldn't actually eat her underwear. It'd be terribly stringy and difficult to digest. Not to mention the fact that she might get kinda pissed if she walked into her room and there I was, face down in her underwear draw, tattered threads hanging from my jaws... or she'd just run out of underwear really fast. Which wouldn't be such a bad thing I suppose ;)

Look. Admit it. Eventually, public nudity will become socially permissible.

Society is moving there, and this is IMHO a good thing.

Yes, thongs are good for no VPL. Yes, they tend to ride up. But that's why you wear a shirt long enough to cover, or to tuck in. Or you make sure to sit against a wall, or in a chair with a back.

As a 30-year-old woman who often wears thongs, well, I fell confident in saying anyone who chooses clothing that intentionally shows off said thong has some issues with lack of taste.

Skanky does not equal sexy. Music, TV, media want us to believe that it does, but it doesn't. A woman can be sexy fully covered, and not sexy almost completely naked.
