The New New Thong

Pearl Thong

So you’ve tried the Brazilian bikini wax .

Now what?

Newly spotted: The (unfortunately named) Bracli, the latest fetish of the otherwise demure.

The new twist on the thong incorporates Mallorcan pearls into its design, comes from Spain, and—for reasons we dare not speak—is the latest item flying off the shelves at upscale lingerie shops like La Petite Coquette.

Why?

Explains one wearer who was willing to elaborate on the garment’s appeal, “It’s the wildest thing. I wore it out one night to dinner in SoHo…and all I could do was writhe in my seat.”

And you thought diamonds were a girl’s best friend.
