'IN THE city, it is only acceptable for a man to wear flip-flops if he has just come from a pedicure and he's still damp. But seriously, folks, flip-flops are for the beach or maybe for washing the car or spaniel. They are not the next big thing. They are the last sad thing on the road to stylistic surrender," writes GQ's Glenn O'Brien.
NOW WE don't want to be telling the Victoria's Secret folks how to run their amazing business, but it wouldn't hurt if they took some thin, snazzy, young models and put them into Queen Victoria's bloomers.
These non-tighty-whities measure 50 inches across, and as most modern day waists are about 30 inches, there is room in the Queen's naughty undies for two models.
The underwear, which was certainly Queen Victoria's "secret," was recently unearthed from an English family whose forebears had served the Queen as maids. Other than the bloomers, there is a nightgown and a chemise with a 60-inch bust. It seems that Queen Victoria became "morbidly obese" during her long reign. These artifacts will be sold at auction, and each item is of very fine cotton and bears the embroidered initials V.R. (Victoria Regina).
