the chemise, with a 66-inch bust, sold for $8,000. sounds a little less spherical and more umm...... trapezoidal?

Harrumph! I'm guessing more people than me must have sent in this SlogTip. Dammit.

With that size she was a modern woman! Or maybe an American?

Most knickers were crotchless until women got out of HUGE skirts. Almost impossible to get them down for peeing etc then back up until then.

So why wear them in the first place?? Why, in fact, do we all cling to the idea of panties/boxers/briefs, Dan?
Please respond... is it to catch stray dripples, prevent zipper snags, and avoid wet patches on our trousers when we watch Jake Gyllenhaal movies? Or is it mere modesty (although apparently not a modesty carry-over from the Victorian age).

VR-Victoria Regina: Crotchless panties-Victoria Vagina

@9: groins sweat, and unless you shower every time you go to the toilet you get rank (remember, Vicky probably didn't shower at all). If you're still unsure why people wear underpants, find some people who don't and hang out with them for a couple of weeks.

She probably had more baths and showers than most people back then did.

Why do you think perfumed handkerchiefs and dresses were such a rage then?

thanks fnarf. i've always wanted to ask that. i guess my hygiene has precluded the rank smell when i've gone without. mostly, i find that i'm a little too 'well-defined' visually when i free-ball it, for my tastes.

It's kind of hard to imagine a thong being that good at absorbing crotch sweat/rank toilet leftovers.

Well, a thong is a whole 'nuther subject.

And you've pointed out another benefit of underpants: concealment. Not everybody wants to look like Derek Smalls from Spinal Tap.

some research will tell us the good Queen bathed often

it was the commoner trash, the Savage family down the road in the small cottage who did not do much bathing, soap was expensive and some body odor was no big deal

horse manure galore, pigs everywhere, no sewers, shitting in the pot in the corner = the town is alive with stench

Harry, are you suggesting that "a Canadian bidder" is actually a popular sex columnist from nearby Seattle, Washington?

We are not amused.
