only real "encounter" i had with a VS was when i first met my current bf in a mall, my daughter was 1 at the time & i'd been letting her out of the stroller every so often to stretch her legs while me & my bf talked. the last time i let my girl out she darted into a VS and i got all embarrassed and started with the "oh my god she just ran in the underwear store!" & was laughing.
(i was very modest & had steered clear of those stores cuz their style was too seductive for my taste).
anyways, my bf casually shrugged and said "i'll get her." he walked right in there, picked my girl up and brought her out, not even glancing at all the chonies around him. i melted at the sight of him carrying my daughter out of there, with her clinging to his neck giggling like it was a game.
my bf doesnt really care for the lacy stuff either, and i personally dont feel any sexier if my undies cost $3 on sale at walmart or $40. i'd rather spend that $40 on something else that's necessary then a single pair of underwear.
