Spanx and other control-top panties are considered by many to be a godsend -- they pull in the paunch and instantly slim without have to do all that pesky dieting and exercising.

But according to some health experts in the UK, control-top panties aren't quite as miraculous as we'd like to believe. Here's why: Flabby midsections are often a sign of weak ab muscles--which are harmful to the back -- and unhealthy eating habits that could lead to diabetes, cancer and heart disease. So while slimming underpants will help you look good for that big event, they're just helping you ignore an uncomfortable and potentially deadly problem -- your weight.

Hmm. A good point. Still, I think donning a pair for that high school reunion isn't the end of the world. Your thoughts?

Last week, I tuned into the Victoria's Secret fashion show on television. Wow! What fun they have with bras and panties! And watching the models strut up and down the runway with their enormous angel wings and teeny underthings made me want to do some crunches at ten o'clock that night.

Now, of course the girls are ten feet tall and they are quite trim. But they are not the anorexic looking waifs we see on other runways. In fact, these chicks are fairly curvy and mostly resemble women. NOT THE TYPICAL WOMAN, but they look womanly.

I was just chatting with a friend about a recent blurb I wrote about Kelly Ripa. Kelly suggested wearing jeans tight in the tush, so they would act as a push-up bra for your booty. I thought it was funny, so I wrote about it. I found the responses in the comment section interesting. A bazillion people commented that they 'hate her' and think she's a "bony b&^%" . I was surprised by the response, because I think she's a nice enough lady. We're all entitled to our opinions though.

So that brought me to this thought. I imagine the people who commented do not like the look of thin and that maybe they loved bigger bodies. Kelly is on the cover of Fitness magazine in a bikini. I wondered how many other people would do that. So this topic is not about Kelly; it's about you. Would you pose in your under things or a bikini for the world to see? I would. Would you?
