    Dinged By A G-String?

    Woman, 52, sues Victoria's Secret, claims injury from defective thong

    JUNE 17--As she was attempting to put on a Victoria's Secret thong, a Los Angeles woman claims that a decorative metallic piece flew off the garment and struck her in the eye, causing injuries and a new product liability lawsuit against the underwear giant. Macrida Patterson, 52, alleges that she was hurt last May by a defective "low-rise v-string" from the Victoria's Secret "Sexy Little Thing" line, according to a lawsuit filed last week in Los Angeles Superior Court. A copy of her June 9 complaint, which does not specify monetary damages, can be found below. Patterson's lawyer, Jason Buccat, told TSG that a "design problem" caused the decorative piece to come loose and strike Patterson in the eye, causing damage to her cornea. He added that the eye injury, which caused Patterson to miss a few days of work, will be "affecting her the rest of her life." Patterson is a traffic officer with L.A.'s Department of Transportation. Prior to the lawsuit's filing, Victoria's Secret officials asked to examine the garment and the decorative piece, but that request was rejected by Patterson's counsel. For those unfamiliar with "v-strings," the undergarment is the Victoria's Secret variant on the "g-string," which has long been favored in the battle against visible panty lines.
    And here are a few gratuitous pictures of v-strings from the VS catalog for those of us who need help understanding the difference between a g-string and a v-string.


    I don't see any "decorative metallic pieces". Can't tell for sure without a closeup view??
    “Maybe you shouldn't dress like that.”

    “This is a blouse and skirt. I don't know what you're talking about.”

    “You shouldn't wear that body.”

      The story is just plain silly. However, we could do without the photos. Just does not need to be on a Timeshare site.

        Bing luv ya. But this IS the hot tub forum and although not "everything" goes here it can be a bit risque.

        I'm sure the pix were for illustiative purposes only.

        right Steve?

            Since I don't hang out with VS catalogs I honestly had no idea what a "v-string" was before I saw the story. Being a compassionate and helpful sort of person, I figured I would help out others who might be similarly disadvantaged.

            I'm still not sure how the metallic piece got from the v-string to her eye, let alone with enough force to cause corneal damage. Unless, you know, she's something like a size 12 trying to put on a size 4.

              Which is why we love you so much!

              I'm still looking for metallic pieces on the thong!

                  These aren't THE thongs, they are just EXAMPLES of thongs. The thong in question probably had decorative metal pieces on the crotch (I mean, where else could they put them? Wait, don't answer that!). And what with the elastic situation, I can imagine a piece flying off. I can't imagine suing the retailer for that, but I can imagine a freak accident.

                      Maybe if the man got a cornea scratch.

                        Okay, now THAT's a V-string. I still don't see the difference between a G-string and a V-string from Steve's pics. No need to post more, though, Steve!

                              If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

                              BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.
