CULVER CITY -- A Los Angeles woman is suing lingerie-maker Victoria's Secret, claiming she was injured by one of the company's defective thongs.

Macrida Patterson, 52, says she was attempting to try on the thong when a decorative metallic piece flew off the garment and struck her in the eye.

Patterson says Victoria's Secret is at fault for the injury she received last month because the product was "defective."

Patterson's attorney, Jason Buccat, chalked the problem up to a "design error."

The garment in question is called the "low-rise v-string" from the Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Thing line.

Patterson said the defective underwear caused her permanent corneal damage, and that she had to miss several days of work to get it treated.

Her attorney said the injury will affect Patterson for the rest of her life.

Victoria's Secret requested to examine the underwear that caused the injury, but Patterson's attorney denied the request.

No, it makes sense.

I have sustained an injury, but I'm not going to show you how.

Please put buckets of money in my bank account.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Maybe the point is, just WTF was a decorative metal piece doing on a thong? I mean, I don't understand how you women can even stand that little cloth strip up your ass, let alone now there's metal?!?

Thongs are comfortable, and cool(temp not the other cool) and ok I admit it sexy, but NOT really meant for a 52 year old woman, and hell if the clasp of her bra flew into her eye would she sue Triumph or Playtex? This really smacks of sensationalism.. Seriously 52! When I get to 52 I swear I'll stop shaving my pussy

Yuriko,

Why should being and feeling sexy end at 51, or 45, or 38?

How you feel is an internal, and should not be dictated by youngsters caught in the

"Thank fuck I'm beautiful" zone.

If you want to curl up and become reclusive at the first sign of grey hair, that's your choice,

but please don't lay that one on me.
