I went into a Victoria’s Secret store recently to buy some
panties for a gift. I explained to
the salesgirl (she wasn’t old enough to be a saleslady or a saleswoman) that I was looking for
something cute that would be appropriate for a young teen. She took me to a display of bright
colored panties in styles ranging from thongs to hip huggers. She explained to me that the panties
were on sale for “5 for $26” – a good price for Victoria’s Secret panties. She then went on to say, “…and the best
part is that you can mix-&-match!
You could buy three pairs for your gift and then get two pairs for
yourself. I can show you the area in
the back where we have our mature panties.” Mature
panties!?!? What exactly does
a mature panty look like? Is it wrinkled? Does it have wisdom? Has it been around the block a time or
two? Obviously, that wasn’t what
she meant by mature panty, but still,
do I really look like I wear mature
panties? A few years ago our
niece and two of our daughters got into a conversation at dinner about panty
styles and they laughed hysterically about granny
panties – you know the ones they were talking about: white cotton, full cut, fit at the
waist. Now, I won’t go into the
type of panties I wear, but they’re certainly not granny panties and I wouldn’t even call mine mature panties.
I recently learned that in Italy it is thought that you will
have good luck in the coming year if you wear red underwear on New Year’s
Eve. No granny panties or mature
panties for me, but red...I can deal with that!
