| Having re-read .0, I think I'd better clarify that I'm looking
for something to sunbathe in, not sexy underwear!

| 218.2 | U.S. mailorder catalogs? | GENRAL::KILGORE | Coyote Clan Member | Fri Feb 02 1990 13:04 | 6 |
| Several U.S. mailorder catalogs have them. The one I am looking at right now
called Undergear, has one but it has a fancy ruffle on the back-side. Can you
imagine what a weird tan you would get from that? They also have a tan-thru
bikini. Would you be interested in some addresses?

| 218.3 | | CRATE::ELLIOT | | Fri Feb 02 1990 14:48 | 16 |
| Judy,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, fancy ruffles are definitely OUT! (A tan-thru
bikini could be useful though). Let's see if anyone in the UK can point me
in the right direction first, (they must be available here, surely?) I
thought these things were made as beachwear, but perhaps I'm wrong.
My boyfriend is also looking for something similar (again, minus ruffles!).
What we need is something just a bit more 'decent' than nothing, because
we're going to Greece, wanting to get an all-over tan, likely to be using
*unofficial* nudist beaches, and don't want to end up being arrested!
I'll get back to you if I can't find anything a bit closer to home.
June.

| From what I have seen of this type of clothing it is a case of,
The less material you get, the more the item costs!
But seriously, if you look in the news papers, usualy Saturday/Sunday you
can find mail order catalogues.

| 218.5 | Thongs and Such | THEWAV::KIRK | | Sun Feb 04 1990 15:21 | 8 |
| I have a Fredericks of Hollywood catalog that i'll send you.
It has several simple (no Frills) thongs for both males and
females and they are made of the "tan through" material.
If time is a problem, ill order them for you and Federal Express
them. Enjoy the sun.

I've been looking around some sort of thong, too. Something to wear
to just be 1% over legal when I have to be so that I can maintain my
all-over tan...
Judy, if the catalogs you mentioned have anything appropriate for
a guy ( i.e. no ruffles! ) then send ( or post? ) the addresses.
Bill, does Frederick's have an 800 number that I can call and have
a catalog sent to me? Tan-through material sounds good!
Something like what Lillian described ( cotton, good for under OR
outer wear, and relatively appropriate for a guy to wear ) sounds
good except that I'm in California...
Thanks for the help! Summer's coming so it's time to get ready...

FYI, I called the 800 numbers in .11 but I get "Call cannot be
completed as dialed"...maybe those numbers are old or the companies
went under? I did get a hold of Undergear...
Guess I should try writing.

The numbers came from a March 1988 posting in the catalogs notesfile. Sorry
about that. I usually get those catalogs so when I get a new one, I'll post
new phone numbers.

I've never paid for one of their catalogs and don't know how I got on there

Judy,
Just got J. Holder's catalog and there was nothing in there
for men, suits that is. :-) However, now that I know San Onofre
(CO Beach) is just a few miles away maybe it won't be a problem.

For those of you near MRO.
My wife frequently gets a of clothes or underwear or
bathing suits up from Brasil. The Brasilieri girls in the
area divvy these things up. If anyone wants to get a look
at this years swim suits mail me and I'll get back to you
when it happens. These are always high quality nice prints
and styles, they aren't g-strings as the back is around a
half inch wide. She was too embarrassed to go to the beach
in an American swim suit, said she looked like she was wearing
a diaper.

| Re .16
Thanks again (Neil?) for the address, we managed to get what we
wanted from Intersparta. Most of their stuff is for men (about 2
pages of women's gear, 11 pages for men). They seem pretty
amateurish for a company that's been around since 1963, but the
things we got were fine.
We're off to Greece next week to try them out, can't wait!!

Seems to me that you could slip them on at home to see how they fit,
and that would certainly be cheaper than flying to Greece. :-)

| You are going to have a wonderful time in Greece. After an unsuccessful
start a few years ago, nudism is now allowed in two or three super
spots. The scenery is out of this world. Greece is about to be REALLY
discovered. Wish I could go this year.

Price is fair at 12.50 for 1 and 22.00 for 2 and the selection/quality

fits great. The price was $10.00 and the color was bright lime green.
You see it for at least a mile. Anyone interested I'll see if she can
make some more..... Now does anyone know where you can wear them
