This is the second time I have suggested THONGS re footwear on our feet as I think it would be an interesting subject to photograph. (FLIP-FLOPS FOOTWEAR ONLY)
Viewed from the front, the thong typically resembles a bikini bottom, but at the back the material is reduced to a minimum. Thongs are almost always designed to cover the genitals, pubic hair, anus, and perineum, and leave part or most of the buttocks uncovered.
i cannot understand people confusing the issue re this suggestion. I DO NOT MEAN THE BIKINI THONG... I MEANT FOOTWEAR AND FOOTWEAR ONLY...AS IN THONGS, SLIP ONS, ON ONES FEET AND NOT ON ANY OTHER PART OF THE BODY... WHY DO PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND SIMPLE ENGLISH ... I AM SORRY NOW I EVEN SUGGESTED THIS AS I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA......
well rather than being arsey about it and shouting, maybe appreciate that there are different national and regional interpretations of what a thong is and for us to share that and suggest alternative titles is not a bad thing.
thong/THôNG/
Noun:
A narrow strip of leather or other material, used esp. as a fastening or as the lash of a whip.
IF YOU KNEW ME I AM NO YELLING OR SHOUTING OR ARSEY AS YOU SAY NOT A NICE WORD AT ALL I AM NEARLY BLIND AND HAVE BEEN DOING CAPITALS NOW FOR WELL OVER A YEAR IF YOU LOOK AT ALL MY COMMENTS AND HAVE OFTEN LET W\EVERYONE KNOW I DO CAPITALS BUT NOT EVERY TIME . ASK MY FRIENDS AND THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT NOW I UPSET WITH YOUR RUDENESS THANKS I CANNOT READ THE SMALL TEXT SO MAKE MANY MISTAKES THAT WHY I USE CAPITALS
I understood the challenge request perfectly. A piece of material that hides the crack between the Big toe (hallux) and the next one alongside it :)
Here in the South we are influenced by the British. Flip Flops are footwear. Thong is a thin piece of leather used in abundance to make a type of chair hehe.
When I was a kid in New Zealand, we called them "Jandals", which is a brand name. I still call them Jandals.
I'm talking about the things that go on your feet. The ones I live in when I am on holiday. (Not a ski holiday)
No matter what your mother may call them.. They are now a challenge!
The challenge is not "Thongs", it's "Footwear", with the following description: "Make something that you wear on your feet the focal point of your composition."
WAY more inclusive than just one category of footwear.
