In our controversial times, it comes of no great surprise that a 52-year-old California woman is suing a lingerie manufacturer (Victoria’s Secret) over a thong injury which has damaged her eye.
The real question: How the did she hurt her eye while putting on underwear?
According to Macrida Patterson’s lawsuit, it all comes down to the decorative rhinestone heart on the waistband, connected to the fabric by tiny metal links.
“I was putting on my underwear from Victoria’s Secret, and the metal popped into my eye. It happened really quickly. I was in excruciating pain. I screamed.”
Patterson, an L.A.P.D. traffic officer, suffered three cuts to her cornea in the May 2007 incident, and has yet to name a figure that she’s seeking, but it will be at least $25,000.
Of course, women wear thongs for all reasons. Some call it beachwear. Others use it to make an outrageous fashion statement but many women, including policewoman, wear thongs simply to hide panty lines or for comfort.
It takes all sorts!!
