I love beautiful slips, particularly those adorned with lace, bows and other fancy detail that heighten a woman`s femininity. Despite periodic revivals of interest in more romantic forms of lingerie, including tap panties, teddies, and slips, most woman today have abandoned the slip as well as other more truly seductive forms of lingerie in favor of thongs, G-strings and other more minimalist accoutrements. These are decidedly unsexy because they reveal too much and destroy the combination of mystery, romance and innocence represented by more traditional forms of lingerie. In my humble view, a woman looks much sexier in a pair of lace trimmed briefs or tap panties than in a thong. See the Secrets in Lace online catalog, for example. Even a simple white or pastel pair of cuff-leg lollipop briefs in nylon or cotton is sexier than the thong. My history overlaps both the more traditional styles of my youth and the unattractive styles more common today so I believe I can provide some historical perspective young people of today can`t understand. Particularly offensive is the use of the term \"granny panties\" to apply to anything not in line with the minimalist styles more common today. This term reveals a lack of historical perspective and an inability to comprehend that the traditional styles of briefs and tap pants were incredibly \"hot\" in their day. A beautiful woman looks even better in those styles than in the skimpy and unsexy thong. What is hidden is often far sexier than that which is revealed.
