Crochet lace undies from Poland

Crochet thong

Thanks to Brenda Dayne's podcast, Cast On, episode 32 we heard about some Polish elder entrepreneur crafters, who have shrugged off the traditional uses of koniakow lace to create gorgeous underwear, which they are selling over the internet, very successfully, despite the protests of more traditionalist colleagues. Lovely knickers, at good prices which I would consider buying. Nevertheless, I am disturbed by the complete lack of pubic hair on the models.

Those ladies must be very cold in winter without a nice, cosy pair of furry pants to keep them warm. They are very see-through aren't they. Very pretty though.

The complete lack of public female body hair in our society is a constant source of irritation to me.

I get just annoyed by the lack of body hair on men in advertising and media too. Feminised men, yuck. I don't want my partner to smell more perfumed than me, or to spend more time than me depilating in the bathroom, or spend more money on waxing (not that I spend any on waxing). I want him to smell like a man, and to have body hair, and facial hair (hair on the head is a mere luxury by the time you get to my age). And I want my body hair to be acceptable - nay LIKED rather than pooh poohed as 'unhygenic' or 'dirty'. Besides, dirty is good in my book (and I mean of the smut variety rather than out and out grime).

You see, I don't understand why it would be attractive to have women (and men) hairless like prepubescents- there's just something really 'yuck' about the fancying of someone who has made themselves look 11....

Have you seen the lastminute.com ads - "easy decision: greek holiday blahblah; hard decision: Brazilian or Hollywood?" Makes me want to yell at the poster every time. When did those become the only options? Grrrr... I'm indoctrinated enough to want to keep my body hair neat and under control, but please. Don't make it disappear entirely.

Great lingerie, though I'm not sure it would be comfortable. I love the tops.
