Woman Sues Victoria’s Secret
I know this is really naughty of me to talk about a legal case before it properly gets to court, but it’s been reported on Reuters and she went on the “Today” show so I guess if they’re going to have me up for contempt I’ll be in good company.
Here’s what happened. A woman in America was doing something with a Victoria’s Secret thong (let’s call it a g-string) and a clip that held a little gem in place did something and got her in the eye. The photo you see here is the only thong I could find on the VS site that actually had little gem studs BTW.
Well she had to go get medical help but now she’s suing Victoria’s Secret for some unknown amount of money in a product liability lawsuit.
OK, so you’re all with me so far are you? Pretty boring stuff really, and you’re wondering why I’ve bothered mentioning it. Well, you see the first thought that went through my mind is this seems like a fairly unlikely story, I would have thought you’d have to be a bit closer to the action for one of those things to get you in the eye. I mean just look at the picture and imagine the physics involved. Those gems are pointing away from her, not up to her eye.
So, in my mind I’m thinking to myself, how did this woman get so close to her own underwear for this to happen, is she a contortionist, or was there another person in the room, perhaps someone else who was wearing the g-string? Aye, when you see it this way it makes a lot more sense.
And of course if she was with a man, well neither of them would want it getting out he was wearing Victoria’s Secret underwear, and if she was with another woman, well they might still not want the truth getting out.
So, do we have any lingerie experts who could verify my theory? Has anybody got any practical experience either way to suggest how this could happen? Would any of my lady readers care to send a photo of themselves trying out the kind of contortions that would be required to get pinged in the eye by those tricky little gems?

I’m totally boggling at the idea things getting twisted up. You have no idea how far into the gutter my mind has just gone.

i saw this one the news. i’m thinking her boyfriend/hubby was wearing the panties and when he went pop, a gem flew off and hit her in the eye. i don’t see any other way.

It’s pretty simple, really. Someone is going to bring up the “magic bullet” theory from the JFK case and prove that regardless of the physics, the gem would have been able to poke both of her eyes if it wanted to. lol

I was thinking this was a bit fishy myself, they interviewed both of them on the News, now that I think about it maybe he was wearing them ,,,,too funny

I say the woman wanted to make a big payday and this is the best she came up with.

I heard about this all over the news..
“If” by some crazy chance that happened to me - I would have never even though about suing.. I would have probably just laughed.
I think it’s pretty ridiculous.

Or she might have been doing instead another thing with it - that is-smelling it…(grins).
I sense something fishy .
Anyway, if she wins it will make her a millionaire.
Thanks for sharing.

Hey Matt….where are you?
Time for a new post!
I saw this lady on the news btw….. she didn’t look permanently scarred to me.
I would have never thought of suing either. It appears that you have quite the intelligent group of readers (present company excluded)! Please post more, dang it!
heheheheeheh

I am loling at your descriptions of how it might not have happened!
The reality is, those little “studs” are simply glued on, and when things get, er, twisted up, they can travel a long way.
