"With this variation of my two piece bathing suits, I have drawn it as a thong, and unless you're going to the French Riviera or to a tanning bed, you know seeing this is, thongs, hmm, but hey, if you're adventurous, why not, everybody's different, whatever floats your boat. So we have, the back is actual thong. There's a difference between a G-string and a thong and there's all sorts- G-string will be an actual just string, this is an actual thong where it is more coverage across the hips. This doesn't usually work unless the person is very, very skinny, otherwise it'll cut in right here and make you look lumpy. But if you follow the lines of the body, again, totally easy to draw, and then the top, use your imagination, I have it as just a tied triangle top, so it can be anything, you can have it be just straight across, clasping, like a bra top, there. Or you can have it come across as a halter top, and tie; anything you want to do, it's yours for the taking."
