Inevitably, if you wear a thong to avoid VPL ("visible panty lines"), you're going to be just as tacky, if not more if you bend over and display a Whale tail. You know, the top of the thong showing over the top of your pants looks like a a whale just dived down the back of your pants and its frilly (or not so frilly) pink tail is sticking up out of there.

Smart Ass has decided that if you can't fight it, flaunt it. Their line of thongs has sassy messages written across the top like "Ooh la la" and "Desperate Housewife."

The Smart Ass thongs are available at Cocoa Crayon and cost $21.95 for a pack of six.
