mormon girls and their underwear
i had to laugh when i saw this post on the pioneer woman . it made me think of my own teenage battles with my mom over underwear. my mom, a garment wearing, faithful lds woman, believed in the old school technique of teaching modesty which basically meant that i was only allowed to wear clothing that would accommodate garments. this was to prepare me for the quickly approaching day that i would be married in the temple to my own personal rm. every year under the christmas tree was a sears box lovingly wrapped by my mother that contained that years supply of appropriate underwear. white granny panties. yep. thats what my mother thought every young woman should wear. but all my friends wore cute bikinis. in a rainbow of colors. some even had the days of the week printed on them. i wanted some of those cute bikinis! i was tired of my old fashioned white underwear sticking out of my super cool looking 501 jeans and ruining my whole look. i started using my babysitting money and buying cute underwear. my mother was not happy(i think she was calling the bishop to counsel me and my wicked ways), but i was able to talk her down from the cliff and prevent her from throwing them away when i explained that no one but me sees them and what was worse-bikinis that no one could see or big ole white underwear sticking out from my waistband? she reluctantly agreed, but made me promise no string bikinis. she drives a hard bargain. i remember when thongs started getting popular and you could actually pick them up at target instead of having to wear a wig and dark sunglasses and sneak into fredricks of hollywood to buy them. i was married at this point, so i got a few. of course msof LOVED them. men are so silly sometimes....yet we indulge them. why is that? i hope this isnt too personal, but i hope all the good lds(married)girls got some thongs and other racy stuff at all the showers that were thrown for them. dont hide them in a drawer!! break them out and break them in. they wont stay on for long anyway.

So what do we do with these cute, lacy, barely there undergarments we bought for our husbands and now that he has left us, we have no use for? Unless on the off chance someday I win the locate and marry a kind, loving, somehow single Mormon man in his forties who is waiting for a single Mother with three young children lottery, I don't really need them. And even if I do remarry someday . . . would the new man really want to me to hang out in the lingerie I bought for my ex? Things I pondered as I read your post.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the dynamic ads from Google that are coming up with this post.
ReplyDeleteI loved my black lace bikinis in college -- away from any accidental run-ins with Mom's laundry and before my garment days. What I really miss, though, is sleeping in the nude. Aaahhh, the comfort!
I'm not a prude, but I personally hate thongs and just don't get the appeal. A cute bikini is far sexier, IMO.
scrappycook: it is like a lottery, isnt it? yikes. wondering myself if the 40 something nice mormon guy really even exists. maybe its one of those mormon urban legends.
ReplyDeleteScrappycook, no offense but your comment "do you think he will want me to hang out in the lingerie I bought for my ex" is a great example of how women miss the mark in the bedroom sometimes (men are JUST as culpable, so don't accuse me of saying anything different haha). If you were hanging out in lingerie... I doubt anything else would even cross his mind.
ReplyDeletei think there might be some guys who would be jealous about seeing their wife in lingerie bought for the ex husband, but i do think it would be short lived-maybe just the few seconds it takes to remove the lingerie and get down to the "fun" stuff.
