Woman suing Victoria secret over eye injury

[chrisbcbu]

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,368206,00.html
A Los Angeles woman claims she was injured by her Victoria's Secret thong, prompting her to sue the underwear manufacturer.

The plaintiff in the case, Macrida Patterson, 52, attributed the May 2007 injury to a Victoria's Secret "low-rise v-string," according to a court document posted on The Smoking Gun.

Patterson's lawyer told The Smoking Gun that a "design problem" caused a decorative metallic piece on the underwear to fly up and hit Patterson in the eye while she was putting the underwear on.

Patterson's product liability lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court last week.

The Smoking Gun reported that, prior to the lawsuit, officials from Victoria's Secret had asked to see the offending underwear but were refused by Patterson's lawyer.

I dont know about you, but i couldnt stop laughing at this.

[CarMike]

Finally, a real wardrobe malfunction!

[guess88]

52 and thong just shouldn't really go together.

[Keino]

52 and thong just shouldn't really go together.

I disagree completely.

I disagree completely.

Well... maybe if they own a bowflex. The lady in that commercial is hot!

There is a fashion purpose for women wearing thongs. They aren't solely for the purpose of turning men on, they also are worn to prevent Panty lines from showing in Pant-Suits and Skirts and Dresses.

There is nothing worse (In my view) than seeing an attractive, older woman in a professional suit and then seeing her Bloomer panty-lines (When I give the customary glance at the rear). It ruins the entire look.

Yeah, but who cares about that if the woman in question is fugly to begin with?

Because Good fashion is good fashion regardless of the attractiveness of the person. Pantylines look Trife.

Alright, well, okay. But still, the only people that are gonna be happy about a fugly person's good fashion sense are the ones that are forced to look at them regularly.... or love them lol

And I see unattractive women on a daily basis that wear a wedding band. Someone finds them attractive.....

As an official members of a group against panytlines, I can agree with them being trifling, but we're talking VS thongs here. I know they have great designs and all, but the brand evokes and lives on sexy. Take the appearance of the average 52 year old woman, then picture her from the back in nothing but a thong... it's unsettling. (not saying all 50+ women are unattractive, I've seen many hot ones at my gym and random trips to bed bath and beyond) Especially considering the thong might have been a "special occasion" type if it had pieces that could fly and damage your cornea, and force you to endure a lifetime of trauma.:)

It just always reminds me of my mothers coworker, who in her late 50's, with the proportions of a pear, wondered and complained why the miracle bra didn't help make her more attractive.

[Keino]

I just have no response to this, but I did crack-up at the fact that the miracle bra ain't no miracle worker......

I may sue someone if I see a 50 year old woman in a thong...

Let's turn this into some class action... action.

Here's a banner for the cause:

Good Lord men....am I to understand this thread correctly? while no actual women have posted in here yet, you have still managed to mention...

"thong"
"Miracle Bra"
"panty lines"
"pants suits"
and...and ...."Bed, Bath & Beyond"
I am slightly overwhelmed at the whole thread

BTW: Most of you men aren't much to look at after the age of 32 either (with the exception of Hubbo of course) and while we wouldn't get the same...er...results from the use of a pillow (Sean)...ask yourselves "Why do women really like the room dark?" Perhaps it's not why you think :D

[AGibbsGirl]

Oh Just in case you weren't sure...this is the funniest thread I've read in quite some time!!!

I think it's a lot easier for bystanders to see through a window with the lights on...

No? It seems like any situation where a man can't see the woman's face, she probably can't see much of him at all. Which I guess if that's what you're going for would be even better, right?

(Anyone want an over/under on when this thread becomes non family site appropriate? If it hasn't already?)

I think I mentioned every one of these words except the store. I am a pretty liberated man and can appreciate when a woman knows how to present herself, no matter what age she is.

But please understand, The pillow is necessary and attractiveness has nothing to do with it :devil1:.....that's just an added benefit to the scenario Csquared mentioned. And Swheeler is right....it goes both ways.

And please, women are not the visual creatures men are. I am pretty sure the lights request is more of a "secure with oneself" issue as opposed to anything else....Men don't care one way or the other about the lights...at least I don't

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

Oh Just in case you weren't sure...this is the funniest thread I've read in quite some time!!!
I agree, lol.

I can laugh at the story because nothing like this has happened to me yet, :p. But it seems to me like she had some bad luck. You can't really sue for bad luck, can you? :whoknows:. I'm intrigued to see just what kind of "decorative metallic piece" was on the thong to begin with. That just sounds dangerous and unnecessary anyway, lol.....

You keep thinking that, If that makes you feel better pal :D

See I don't care what I look like to her. Im not there for her anyways ;)

[WarEagle]

I sort of sympathize with the woman.

I once owned an L.L. Bean rain jacket with solid plastic drawcord fobs that dangled on elastic rope in the middle front, right below my belt buckle. I wore this jacket in bad weather for 10 years, and on maybe three occasions these solid plastic fobs would get hung-up on a train seat or something else, and in an instant stretchhhhhhhhhh the elastic rope in the waist hem, then fire back directly at my privates. I cannot express the searing agony this caused. Like a slingshot.

L.L. Bean has redesigned the jacket, and now the drawcord fobs are located at your hips, not your crotchal area. So be careful when you purchase a jacket with drawcord fobs.

[WackyJacky]

Just when I thought this was the funniest post, WarEagle had to go and make the deadly LLBean jacket post. LMAO!!!

FWIW, I hate thongs. I'd rather see panty lines than see someone's clothes crawling into their buttcrack. :moon1:

Meh, buttcrack over pantyline anyday. Pantylines just break up the visual smoothness a proper butt should have. I've stared at many a fine buttocks to admire the female form, only to be distracted by the outline panties give. It's almost akin to a beautiful face with corn yellow teeth. Don't know why it hurts so much.. just does.

Me neither...and I really hope no man does..but if women prefer to turn the lights off because the man they are about to have sex with is so revolting that they can't stand his sight, maybe it would be a good idea to choose another partner (me for example..but only if the woman is very attractive) instead of being forced to simulate blindness...lol..

Absolutely. I think pantylines should be outlawed.

On another note, my 4 year olds' favorite word of late is "Buttocks". I have No idea where she picked that up......

Nope, but even it was, she wouldn't be allowed to watch it.

I think she got it from my wife who replaces the A word with "Buttocks" at times........It's just she will utter it at the most random times, which makes it hilarious and I can't really tell her to stop, it's not a bad word.

[chrisbcbu]

Did someone say Buttocks?:moon2:

[guess88]

"i got shot in my buttocks"

You should have sued LL Bean for sexual harrassment. You could tell them you told the jacket "NO" but it didnt want to take no for an answer!

You must be young...because my post was referring to all of the posts about how ugly us older women apparently get as we age....I meant that men don't age well either...beer guts...no hair....well, no hair on the head...but now hair everywhere else...including the ears....toenails that look like the bark of a tree...YOUR butts somewhere down by your knees.....

~sigh~ shall I go on or have I made my point? :D

Please, continue. Because I am wondering how you wrote "except Hubbo" on your earlier post about unattractive men and yet seem to have some personal experience with the above......Is there something we should know??????


BTW - All you've done is argue for the Pillow. :devil2:

[smoak]

52 and thong just shouldn't really go together.

that is my thought. i understand keinos point, but i'm not thinking the odds are stacked in the favor of most 50 years olds...

but all that aside, hopefully this stupid lawsuit goes NOWHERE. what is next? safety regulations on panties?

No other experience other then my own visuals...oh yeah that's right women aren't visual are we? (rolling my eyes)

Also, while Mike still has a good portion of his hair, the beer gut was not there 18 years ago. Yes, I still find my husband attractive but let's face it, men age badly too...

PS: Don't get your point about the pillow? Are you actually agreeing with me that women could use a proverbially pillow as well? Because that's where my no lights argument came from.

[Keino]

Just giving you a hard time Mom. LOL

I think some people age well and some don't. No matter how our spouses age, I doubt we can ever find them unattractive...at least that's how I feel about mine.

You're not really going to make me spell out the pillow comment are you? LOL

[hail2skins]

The face is the last thing I look at. That's what pillows are for..........(I anticipate AGG giving me blues over this post)This cracked me up so much that people came to the office to make sure I was ok. LMAO.

[hail2skins]

I'm actually wondering if it was something from the thong that hit her or was the thong stretch (because of her size) and the safety pin she used to secure it couldn't take the stress.
