If butt crack is the new cleavage, should you go with or without a bra? (thong vs. commando)

Cool Broads definitely go commando. Let me present my case:

  1. It's preferable to see someone’s crack as opposed to someone’s crack with a thin piece of fabric jammed up it. Seeing someone’s thong conjures up all sorts of unpleasant images with regard to where that thin piece of fabric has been and what it’s been rubbing up against. Take a look at this photo of Heidi Klum and her cute butt crack (but also take into consideration that Heidi Klum is a SUPERMODEL).
  2. Thongs are uncomfortable. I’m actually a converted thong-wearer and though I can’t pinpoint the exact moment I turned the other cheek (so to speak), I think it has something to do with childbirth. Now, I don’t know if something changed down there after I had kids or what, but I can no longer tolerate the lack of comfort that for me has become synonymous with wearing a thong. I’ve even tried Hanky Panky’s, who bill themselves as the most comfortable thong available. I’ve got girlfriends who swear by them, though one found herself in an uncomfortable position when she ended up in the ER with a broken leg and the one-sided robe the nurses made her wear exposed her Hanky Pankies and as well as a majority of her ass. Take a look at this photo of Uma Thurman bending over and exposing her thong (also take into consideration that this is UMA THURMAN).
  3. I don't know about you, but when I'm wearing my skinny, low-rise jeans, I need to be (and feel) as skinny as I possibly can, and if my underwear adds so much as 1/24 of an inch to my body...they've got to go.
  4. Thong underwear is not attractive. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that thongs do not complement anyone’s backside (unless of course you’re a 19 year old Brazilian model who wears a size 2).
  5. According to Janelle Brown in her Salon.com article, "Here Come the Buns", butt crack is the new cleavage. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. She states that, "...having grown weary of nipples and thighs, we simply needed a new body part to fetishize. It's hard to oppose a trend that extols a generous posterior. But like so many trends that spring from retail, this one comes with a punishing beauty protocol. We're going to expose your ass now, the fashion industry has said, and it had better look good."

The best way to get a great-looking backside? The squat. As I discussed in an earlier post on my blog, www.thatcoolbroad.com, the squat is the single most effective exercise there is if shaping a beautiful ass is your goal. Click here for a comprehensive article and step-by-step instructions for the almighty squat.

So, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Nothing comes between me and my Calvins. Are you with me or against me?

    I don't think anyone should be intentionally showing their a$$cracks or underwear. It's damn stupid and a sad cry for attention.

    ahahah! Buttcrackage rules. But seriously, it only looks sexy if the girls body is killer from top to bottom. Not everyone can pull that off and not get laughed at before the night is over. So be careful what you wear.

    I do like showing my coin slot, and it depends the look I want and the attention level i want to attract. If normal I wear a thong, which I believe are VERY comfortable, to get the whale tail look, if really wanting to show, I go comando. And yes, I am built for it, jean size 0-2 and get the super low Brazlian cut from Brazil! The rise is so small the zipper is barely an inch!

    It's impossible for Uma Thurman to look bad. She has the body that every Hollywood actress would love to have.

    Ass Crack is nasty!! I am a 36 year old man yet the sex drive of an 18yr old but that is just wrong. I might make one concession as one poster previously mentioned: her body would have to be ultra hot from top to bottom to pull that look off. I think if you ask, most men would prefer the breast under cleavage look, very hot.

    I agree with you I have gotten complaints about my thong showing when my shirt rises unintentionally. Not ever without. I'll try my best to hide it but I'm not making any promises. Beware.

    I don't wear bras with certain tops, some girls are just able to get away with being super-sexy. These thong & bras can be viewed at as optional support, use as needed.
