Clueless “japanese digital mobile girls” who have to hit you with the 2×4 of their sexuality aside,

ankle is sexier than thigh if you’ve got the confidence to back it up (and usually if you don’t.)

India, I saw that article last night—linked from Gawker—and was going to blog it. Then I realized that having wittered on about my teeth and legs for a thousand words I’d revealed enough of the shallowness of my depths for one night.

I once wore thongs. I don’t wear thongs any more. There’s nothing big or clever about them, as our teachers used to say. Now it’s Cosabella boy shorts—well below the waistband of the jeans—all the way. If I never see another butt floss triangle on the subway, I won’t be sad.

Here’s some good news, as long as you’re in a mood to adopt stupid local customs: last Thursday the Daily News devoted its whole “THersday” spread to—avert your eyes—the conspicuous display of thongs and how utterly nasty it is.

I was never sure if this look was intentional in the first place, but it seems that it is, or was, and that finally some women are starting to come to their senses and reject it.

If you’d passed through NYC a week earlier, though—woo!
