Thongs & Thong

This post is part novelty, part experiment and part amusement. It is a story of the $120 thongs. Yes, that’s right - $120 for a pair of thongs… or if you prefer, $60 per thong. My first thought, which is often wrong, was “What kind of dumb ass would pay that much money for a thong?” Then I thought, “Those must be some pretty good looking thongs.” Finally I concluded that there is something special about these thongs that make them worth that kind of cash.

I’ll let you decide. Toward the end of this post is a picture of these thongs so that you can decide. Sexy, practical, opulent? It is a personal, perhaps even a private decision that we must make for ourselves. So, without further ado, here are the thongs:

Wait! That's giving it up too soon... keep reading.

The novelty and the amusement is coming up… the experiment will be revealed through my hit counter – and perhaps in the form of comments by a few who were sucked in. Allow me to explain the premise. I read on another post a few months ago that if you want to generate hits, put a few popular search terms in your post. One of the most popular, according to the post, is the word “thong.” As you may have noticed, that word, in both the singular and plural forms, shows up repeatedly. Thong. There it is again.

Just for good measure I threw in “ass” (as in “dumb ass”), “sexy,” “private,” and “personal.” So we’ll all see together how many new visitors stop by based on these popular search terms. SiteMeter (the paid version) allows me to track my visitors based on the search term – let the games begin!

These thongs really did cost $120. How do I know? It's an amusing little story about a boutique and a friend of mine... perhaps I'll tell it some day.
