Dear Green Velvet Thong ... a locker room rant.

[Anonymous]

I'd rather see a thong in a locker room than peeping out of the top of my 45-year-old SIL's jeans -- despite her being skinny. It made for an awkward chuckle with my 16-year-old DD, who now wears them because her chic aunt does.

I honestly think it's awesome when there's diversity in the locker room.

Not kidding.

It shouldn't be a beauty contest. You should be able to be at the gym and not feel like there are rules about how you should look in order to be there.

I saw an older woman slip into bright, shiny red spandex pants and apply bright, shiny red lipstick before heading to the elliptical. It gave me a "you go girl" chuckle. I mean, why not?

Aging isn't a sin or illegal.

Gimme a break. I get so sweaty when I blow dry my hair that I am often topless. Why should I get all sweaty blow-drying my hair? Would you rather see my boobies or my pit stains??

Don't worry...your boobies will be saggy too. Then you won't be able to escape seeing them!!

+ 1. I get sweaty blow drying also and my hair is long enough to get the back of my shirt wet while I blowdry. I enjoy my saggies all nice and toasty!

+1. I have exactly 15 mins between hopping off spin bike and running out to my car in order to get to work on time. I strip by the lockers and walk the 5 feet to my shower of choice. I shower, dry off, wrap towel around my waist, and walk the 5 feet back. Put on underwear (OMG SOMETIMES IT'S A THONG), bra, and pants. Dry hair, apply makeup. Put on shirt, jacket, etc. Grab everything and run. I DO NOT have time to protect other's delicate sensibilities by getting my clothes all sweaty while blow drying. I'm not trying to show off (not much to show off postpartum as it is), just trying to be time efficient.
See, I think it's weirder to be one of those people who change in the sauna. Really, that's not what it's for...!
And I would rather see (knowingly displayed) saggy boobs, than the "glimpsed through your see-through bike shorts" accidental buttcrack I was seated behind in spin this AM. Yikes! At least they were relatively fit

Hey as long as you thong wearers aren't sitting down in the locker room cause that thing doesn't cover anything and your ugly strap isn't riding up above your pants (which it always seems to do and it's not at all attractive regardless of what you think about your @$$), it's fine by me.
