A 52-year-old US woman has filed suit against Victoria's Secret claiming that an attempt to spice up her underwear drawer ended in corneal trauma after a "decorative metallic piece" flew off an example of the lingerie giant's "Sexy Little Thing" low-rise v-string as she was slipping into the come-hither apparel and gave her an eyeful.

That's according to The Smoking Gun, which notes that Los Angeles Department of Transportation traffic officer Macrida Patterson's lawsuit, presented on 9 June in Los Angeles Superior Court, is seeking unspecified monetary damages over the "design problem".

Her lawyer, Jason Buccat, said that the injury caused by the flying v-string will affect his client for "the rest of her life". Victoria's Secret apparently asked to examine the offending smalls prior to the initiation of litigation, but Patterson's council declined.

Those of you wondering just what on God's Green Earth a v-string is can find enlightenment here. Yup, we know - you'll never look at an female LA traffic officer the same way again. ®

Agreed.

Somehow I suspect this 52 year old might be a "little" overweight and picked something too small of a size.

Well I don't know, if she was that overweight the shrapnel from the "exploding" panties should have encountered her fleshy mid section before getting to her eye... unless the offending metal shard ricocheted off something, or came off after the undergarment passed her thighs. ...ugh the visuals! Sorry. :eek:
 
Wel it's all just a bit too "readers' wives" for me… :eek:

Play a flirty game of hide-and-seek, with a glimpse of skin. Two front bows. Low-rise. Imported nylon/spandex.

It'll be a glimpse of more than just skin you'll be getting.
 
To actually go public with this she must be pretty badly injured, or have absolutely no capacity for embarassment at all...
 
This story gave me not one but two mental images I could have gone all day without:

1) A 52 year old woman in a thong.
2) a 52 year old woman getting an eyeful of anything.

lol , but you might want to adjust that to say 'some 52 year old woman'. i see alot of hot older women around these days. they don't make 'moms's and young grandmothers like they used to. (but you might be right...maybe a size or 3 too small and it busted).

Judging by your title you're packing both an X and a Y...yet you wear panties.

I heard about this over the weekend and I am just not sure how to respond to it, she has a point with the claim, but at the same time, was it truly worth national news, apparently she thought so.
 
Decorative piece flew off...? Sounds scary. I bet she was trying to put them on then lost her balance and stretched the pair too far and BOING! You'll put your eye out. :p
