You can tell a lot about a lady from the panties she wears. Whether she chooses a gauzy lace thong, snug briefs or frilly bloomers is a secret insight into her character. This book is an irresistible combination of lush, stylish images and provocative text that delights as well as stimulates, questions such as: What do frescoes found in Pompeii reveal about the ancient Greeks? Which were the most expensive undies ever made, and is there such a thing as "power panties"? How exactly did the thong evolve, and what is the only draw back to the wünder-string? Find out in this revealing and entertaining journey into the undiscovered world of underwear.Lexicon
