Crotchtastic: The new Sexy

To keep it interesting, fashion keeps changing. Change is the only constant. In keeping with this concept, what we find sexy, is also a changing idea. In the Victorian era, wearing bright colours was considered uncouth and reserved for prostitutes! In the nineteen twenties a more androgynous look was what was hot, and the shortening hemlines made the legs the target of desire. Over the decades we have seen cleavage spilling out from deep V necklines, and butt cheeks hanging out from batty riders. Now the "Sexy" of our time is below the belt, with panties so high cut that hip bones are exposed, in a silhouette that points like an arrow to the nether ye (as it was so called by Chaucer). 

Bikini waxers are busier than ever now that the fashions are allowing us to expose our pudendas to the world. However you call it; cooch, vag, punks or koonch beharry- the formerly most private lady part is now out for the world to see. If you want to give the look a try, make sure your area is clean and clear and under control. Please. Pretty please.

From the moment I saw Kendall Jenner in this, I knew the thigh gap obsession was over,
and we had moved on to the hip bone.

In Trinidad I am especially seeing this trend catching on. Newbie swimwear designer Marie Collette debuted with a crotch- focussed collection that is racy and uber sexy with several details that point to the you-know-what.

Another new swimwear line coming out of Trinidad is Rebel by Sian McIntosh. I am currently obsessed with the campaign. The images are sick, and totally reflect the attitude of these crotchtastic suits.

The most in-your-face appearance of the trend has to be the recent IslandMe Monday Wear showing. Various different Monday wear designers jumped on the bandwagon and there were many bedazzled hoo-hahs and wedgie-inducing high cut panties.

And of course, the most scandalous appearance of the trend was in the Fantasy band launch!
