Hello and welcome to Fact of the Day of the Week.

This week, Vaughan undoes the bra on this week's Sexy Topic lingerie week.

It's time for…

Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day.

Welcome to lingerie week, ladies and gentlemen.

Get your panties on.

This is an attempt to sexy it up after last week's Stem Week.

Let's see if we hear from international lingerie lovers.

Well, we may do.

With facts like we did last week from the Stamp Collectors and the Stamp Lovers.

Well, I actually mentioned this word on Friday when I laughed and said we could do lingerie

week about the monobism.

And today's Fact of the Day is indeed about the monobism.

Start of the 1900s, the monobism girdle was the lingerie of the moment.

What is the lingerie of the moment now?

Comfort.

I reckon we've gone the other way.

So it's less about looks and sexiness.

It's more just comfort.

Smooth, soft comfort.

Right.

Thick strap.

Thick back.

This isn't just you pushing the nana agenda on us.

Does it get more nana-y than this?

That's comfort.

Oh my God.

That's stress.

That looks like a comfortable strap.

Even that clapp of it against you sounded comfortable.

Hang on.

Thicky.

Ow.

She's a thickie.

It's a thick strap.

It sounds comfortable.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Yeah, I don't know.

Well, it ended around World War I, but the monobism girdle was basically pushed the boobs together.

Girdles.

That was, he was with Hitler, wasn't he?

Yeah.

He was a really bad German.

You're thinking of Goebbels.

Goebbels.

That's the one.

Yeah.

And not to be confused with Paris.

Goebbels.

Who teases people.

Choreographers.

Yes.

Yeah.

Okay.

So the girdle pushed the breasts in and up, but the dresses worn over the top were loose fitting.

So it appeared as if there was one sort of central almost cycloptic breast.

Like a pigeon, eh?

So it was called the pigeon breast because I, and this is something else I learned.

Pigeons have a very prominent chest bone.

Yeah, right.

You know when you get a chicken, you know when you get a bachelor's handbag.

Let's take your bachelor's handbag.

And you get the chicken and you can see the two breasts.

Yeah.

But the bone in the middle sinks in.

Yeah.

And then when you get down into it, it's just that gristly like pull it down here.

And there's the, the wishbone at the top.

And there's a join there.

So a pigeon.

I'm having a roast chicken tonight actually.

This is great anatomy for me when I break it up.

You can think about that if you were eating a pigeon, apparently I've never seen it.

I wouldn't eat a pigeon.

I wouldn't eat a pigeon.

I would eat a pigeon.

I'm doing all right for myself.

I don't, I'm not, I don't eat a pigeon.

Well, why do you think the kettidoo is in such short supply?

Oh, I see.

I never said I wouldn't eat a kettidoo.

It's only one of those.

They look delicious.

It's of the pigeon family.

Honey.

It's a wood pigeon.

I do a honey soy kettidoo.

Oh yeah.

I do a buttered, buttered.

Buttered chicken.

Butter chicken kettidoo.

Butter chicken kettidoo.

Butter chicken.

Yeah.

The chicken's also going to be nice.

I think you'd probably have to go with a more traditional flavor.

Wouldn't you go a kawa kawa in a kumara?

Oh yeah, you could.

Kawa kawa kumara stuffing in a kettidoo.

A lemon herb.

Could I do some lemon herb in there?

Yeah, good.

OK, good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Sweet sour.

Maybe just subtle.

I think that would take away from the flavor of the kettidoo itself.

I better it.

I could put a crumb like a panko.

Yeah, OK.

Yeah, OK.

Kettidoo schnitz.

A kettidoo parmesan.

Yeah, right.

Oh yeah, now we're talking.

Yeah.

Yeah, good stuff.

Let's stop talking about eating deliciously.

I'm hungry.

I'll eat it.

So the bone, apparently, of the pigeon is more prominent,

which means it's rounded to a point.

Right, yeah.

So when the girdle was pulling you up and in,

you looked like a pigeon,

and it would arch you back,

you almost had a pigeon chest.

And it was called, it was, yeah, the monobism girdle

or the pigeon breast.

Yeah, looking at like the silhouette of those times,

the, you are arched back and forward in the breast.

Yeah.

This is a quote,

bosom's a beautiful, sexy and feminine.

Femin, feminine.

We're all flustered on lingerie week, isn't it?

He's seen, he's seen, he's seen, he's all.

There's actually no pictures in my fact of the day,

paragraph today.

Yeah, but they conjured up some images.

He's got a powerful mind.

He's got a powerful mind.

And bosom's a beautiful, sexy and feminine.

Before, at the start of the century, monobisms,

the single breasts were a very popular look

and considered a prideful way to wear one's breast.

Right.

Women dressed in such a way that they appear

to have one large breast, almost in a pigeon-like fashion.

Wow.

So today's sector, they're in the first fact for lingerie week.

I'm excited for the sexy week.

At the start of the 1900s, the monobism was the look of the time.

Lingerie week, here at Fact of the Day.

That fact that I just told you off air before we came on.

Is that too rough to be a fact of the day one day this week?

No, I don't think so.

Just don't say the P word.

Underwear.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, that's not today's Fact of the Day.

Today's Fact of the Day.

Because yesterday, the first day, we talked about the monobism.

Yes.

This was a look in the earliest of 1900s

of the appearance of one central breast.

Yes.

Like a pigeon.

No gap between.

Already.

And then they're flowing over.

This is way sexy than standpoint.

I'm already just loving it.

Well, today I want to talk to you about sweater girls.

Heard of sweater girls?

Yeah, I have.

And bullet bras.

That's the pointies.

So the bullet bra we're probably most familiar with

would be Madonna's bullet bra.

And when Madonna just wore the bra and it was very pointy, cony.

And then what was Austin Powers?

They had a gun in it, eh?

That was the...

A gun bosom.

Yeah, that was Fembot Fembot.

That's what they were called.

And they had a gun in the bosom.

That's right.

And those weren't bullet bras.

Those were fluffy bras.

Yeah, right.

Okay.

As a boy that was 17 years old when Austin Powers came out,

I can tell you in detail what that looked like.

From memory alone.

So the bullet bra is the pointy bra.

And the sweater girls were called sweater girls

because of course you put a sweater over top of them

to accentuate the bulletness.

Also, no underwire in these bras.

It was all in the pattern of the bra that led.

Now, when you were making that,

it could be made out of four quarters

that were sewn together and peeked out.

Right.

And the stark opposite to yesterday

with the monobosom we talked about,

these were pulled apart and pointed out

to be two very individual breasts.

Yeah, right.

So they were made out of four

that were either sewn together so that they peeked

or a spiral form that went up the cup

and came to a prime.

And when was this big?

What kind of 1950s?

Yeah, 1940s, 1950s.

Do you think about their swing skirts,

hey, tiny waist, sweaters, pointy boobs?

Your Marilyn Monroe's.

And it's never, it's never become a thing again, has it?

Pointy boobs, no.

Pointy boobs, no.

Well, no.

There was the Madonna thing.

You should bring them back.

That was just the...

Just bring them back.

I'm trying to just naturally.

Right.

Yeah.

Okay, yeah.

Yeah.

Rounding out.

So then, of course, you put a sweater over top of them,

a tight sweater over top of them to really accentuate

so that they would then be called sweater girls.

In fact, it was a phrase used by a police officer

who said that he believed sweater girls

and the way that they were really accentuating

their individual breasts and, you know,

really taking the attention of the male eye

was indicative of the downfall of polite Christian society.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Because of our pointy boozies.

Because of your pointy boozies.

So, yeah, Marilyn Monroe.

They make me want to ram rate.

Yeah, they make you want to...

They make you want to shop like...

They want to shop like a couple of sausages.

I was just like, definitely.

Couple of sausages.

Six pack of sausages.

Yeah.

Crazy.

So, today's fact of the day is that sweater girls

and their bullet bras were famous before Madonna.

And with the downfall of...

And the beginning of the downfall of modern Christian

polite society.

Turn those boogs.

Today's fact of the day is about the thong.

Yeah.

Thong?

Please have Cisco's thong song in the background.

Absolutely, Vaughan.

Give me one moment, please.

That would be lovely.

Thank you very much.

God, he's good, eh?

He just...

He just looks to suit.

Don't dress bad and get the thong.

Search.

Bong.

Oh, my God.

This is the thong for thong, thong, thong.

God, I love a bit of violin in my thong songs.

Thong comes from words meaning restraint.

Oh.

According to the Alps of the English Dictionary,

probably why Australia is called jandals thongs.

Yeah.

Because we're restraining the dolls.

It was originally a narrow strip of leather

that used to secure something down.

Like the testicles.

And the...

Can I tear it down?

I'm going to keep it down.

You've got a thong underwear.

Not much restraint is required.

So there you go.

I actually googled why it's called a G-string.

Because I didn't even think about the thong.

I'm just like, of course, that's what it is called.

But why do we call it a G-string?

Because of the guitars.

Yeah.

Because of the thickest string.

The thickest string on a...

Exactly.

On a black guitar is the G-string.

I had no idea.

The bottom one, they go, boom.

That's J.

Is it?

So yeah, apparently it's the thickest string

that's somewhat resemblant to what I've ever been.

The thickest string up your craze.

I mean, there's two facts where you're already.

Holy shabollies.

Is there another one?

And Cisco.

You betcha.

How of a fact of the day today?

1959.

The mayor of New York City, Furello La Guardia.

But the airport is named after...

Oh yeah.

Is about to host the World Fair.

Okay.

Bold of America during a World War to host a World Fair.

Crazy, actually.

Yeah.

They're like, that's probably not going to bother us too much.

Yeah.

Meanwhile, there is a crosshair on Pearl Harbor

in a couple of years.

But they host the World Fair in New York.

Now, he said, the naked dancers are too naked.

Oh.

We don't want their fannies being shown to the world.

Except the fanny in New York is the bottom, isn't it?

I thought you meant...

Yes.

That too, though.

Both the front and the back fanny.

Yes.

So...

You can't have those out of the World Fair.

You can't have those out of during a time of a World Fair.

So he said, nude dancing is out.

Okay.

No one's allowed to get fully naked.

And they said, well, what is the closest thing to naked?

But still clothed.

It's the thong.

Hit it, Cisco.

So then...

So a tiny bit of material...

Tiny bit of material to cover it up.

Was a loophole there.

The tiny bit of the material was the loophole.

And so only exotic dancers wore it.

Right.

During the World Fair.

And then kept doing it from there on afterwards.

But the thong, the G-string, was only really used by exotic dancers.

Oh, for entertainment.

Yeah.

In 1974, it made its official debut in the form of a thong swimsuit.

Right.

So like the ones that you see now at the beach,

I don't see them because I'm not looking.

Of course you're looking in front of your eyes for your wife.

Yeah, you kind of have blinkers on at the beach.

Yeah.

I'm there for water and sand.

And recreation.

I'm not there to see 98% of someone's bottom.

It is funny when you see thong togs at the beach.

Are you like, that's your whole anus, man.

That's your whole butt.

One rogue wave, see you later pants.

Yeah.

Yeah.

See you later pants.

So, and so they started out as a swimsuit.

And then that combined with the remnants of the 1939 World Fair,

you can't show the front or the back.

Yeah.

Carried over and they became popular.

And the 1990s was when they became very, very popular.

And the Wilds Tale.

And the Wilds Tale.

Yeah.

This VPL went out the window.

We don't want to see the visible panty line.

Marketed widely as a practical undergarment

to pair with slim fit jeans to avoid visible panty line.

Yeah.

Victoria Secret held its first public runway show in 1995,

led by models Stephanie Seymour and Rebecca Hormin,

igniting a consumer thong frenzy.

Yeah.

Thong frenzy.

They were big in the 90s.

And 2002, 120 million pairs of thongs were sold in the US alone.

That is a 200% increase.

And domestic units sold from 1998.

And what year did the thong song come out?

1999.

Well, no, it was generally a question.

I wasn't going to hit you with an actual answer.

Does this have a big 99 energy to it?

Yeah, it does.

1999, yes, from the album Unleash the Dragon.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So when they reached extreme popularity,

they were accompanied by the song by Cisco.

And now we're on the nanopanties, aren't we?

Well, I like nanopanties during the day,

but I like a thong at the gym.

Because of the tights.

Yeah.

You don't want to work as well.

And that was the original purpose of them as well

for the general public consumption.

Are you going to do nanopanties?

Because that's my passion in life.

Well, tomorrow is the last day of lingerie week.

I've never considered granny panties to be

in the lingerie family of underpants.

You should do a granny granny indies.

I've got lacy granny panties, sometimes,

for my more formal occasion.

OK, it's the last and last fact tomorrow for the lingerie week.

Yeah, maybe it can be.

I'll see what...

Because I still had that...

Nana undies.

I still had that fact about the underpants with no crotch.

Oh, yeah, that's quite an interesting one.

It is, quite interesting.

Well, I joined us tomorrow to see what happens.

Maybe a myriad of facts tomorrow.

Just a boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

Yeah, a shotgun fact about lingerie.

Well, today's fact of the day is, in 1939,

ahead of the New York-based World Fair,

the mayor said,

I'm sorry, you can't be nude dancing on stage anymore.

And that's when ladies started wearing the thong.

Today's fact of the day is,

Queen Victoria wore crotchless undergarments.

Yuck.

Voin, how could you?

To the Queen herself.

It's the RIP.

No, Queen Victoria.

Yeah.

Yeah, very much RIP.

Yeah, she's the last.

Yeah, she's the last.

Ages ago, RIP.

Queen Victoria was a pompous old cow as well.

I mean, I was a...

Wow, you're like a see-in-the-room.

I'm so happy.

I'm so happy.

I'm so happy.

Wow, you're like a see-in-the-room.

I'm so happy.

No one really...

We were so Victorian in there.

No, I haven't seen that episode.

I'm from Hamilton, and now Main Street's named after it.

Wow.

A little bit of fender.

Now, what she was?

She was a what?

Pompous old cow.

Was she? What she mean?

Yeah.

I don't know a lot about it.

She was very stern and very posh.

All right.

So what you're referring...

Of the crown ascent, though.

Oh, been and gone.

She was very old.

The prequel.

Okay.

There actually was like a series about her, wasn't there?

There's probably been multiple series about her.

There's been lots.

Some who played her, bloody...

Helen Mirren.

Helen Mirren.

That was just a guess.

That was a guess, and he nailed it.

It's always Maggie Smith, Helen Mirren, or Judy Dench.

Yeah.

If you were after an old white English bird,

it would be one of those three.

So this is actually really interesting,

and the final fact for Longeray Week is that...

Sorry, it was Judy Dench.

It was Judy Dench.

She, Queen Victoria, wore so many,

so many garments.

Like, there was girdles.

There was the knickerbockers.

There was everything.

Everything was going on.

A dress, dress, a dress, a petticoat dress,

eight layers of dress.

That literally, to go to the bathroom, was a nightmare.

I bet.

I'd imagine that would be quite,

end up being quite hot and humid down there, too.

Thrush galore.

So, well, she avoided it by having undergarments

that had no bottom in them.

Right.

What's the point of them, I guess?

Why don't she just wear none?

Well, she was kind of wearing...

Well, it was part of her,

because there's a picture of them.

And, um...

Oh, I don't want to see that.

You don't want to see them?

Do you see her fanny?

No, no, no.

It's just an illustration of the under the time.

Oh, so they're bloomers.

Yeah, they're bloomers as well.

With the original hole there.

So it was just what was worn.

Yeah.

When you wore so many garments over the top,

that you could just...

Well, you could walk behind a bush.

I mean, she wouldn't have, but you're every day...

Yeah.

...commoner might have.

Walk behind a bush, legs apart,

hike the skirt up a little bit, and go.

How long for the day when we've got a queen

that wears some Lululemon active wear?

Some kind of, you know, casual...

Yeah, no, it'll be Kate.

It'll be Kate.

It'll be Kate, yeah.

She won't wear it in formal functions, but...

She'll wear them to...

Underneath, like a Lululemon tight.

Yeah, yeah, totally.

She'll totally wear them.

Or a supergene.

And...

Oh, I had something else,

but now you've distracted me with Kate and her Lululemon.

I'm sorry.

Us historians like to have a calming cigarette

while we're trying to remember what we're wearing.

Do you know what you try and remember?

I love that Queen Victoria always wore a veil.

Like almost like a wedding veil.

She always, in all of her formal portraits,

had a veil, Queen Vic.

That's her, man.

Is it?

She's a busty old lass.

Interesting profile for a coin.

Yeah, we had a statue of her in Wellington.

Yeah.

Lot of change.

We can say that about King Philip as well.

King...

What's her name?

Charles.

Charles III.

So I'll just wrap it up there then, I think.

I can't remember what else I was going to tell you about it.

You've done really well this week.

So your fact of the day is that Queen Victoria will crotch his panties.

Yes.

That's the original.

She was the original.

That evolved since...

And there was a long, arduous story about the evolution,

but it was practicality for a very long time.

That's what I was going to say.

Brides at weddings, going to the toilet is a mission.

I was told when I was...

The first time I was a bride made was with a bride

in a quite a puffy, traditional gown,

and she was told to straddle it like a front fort,

like put her legs around, ride the toilet,

and then you'd lift up.

The front was easier than lifting up the back and bunching it.

That's great advice, but no undies or undies with this taken out of it

would be significantly easier to do.

On my wedding day, I will be wearing the largest,

tightest undies you have ever seen.

Holding it all in.

Holding it all in.

As long as it goes with Voronai's casual linen outfits.

All linen.

We're still looking at the guest list.

All linen.

Still just working out the guest list.

Because every time you get drunk, you invite us.

Yeah, I mean, I'm so rough, and I just remember that no one's invited.

Yeah, it's quite...

Not...

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, today's fact of the day is Queen Victoria.

You're invited if you wear crotchless panties and nothing else.

Crotchless underwear pants.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Well, congratulations to you, podcast.

Listen, you've reached the end.

So I would assume if you've listened all this way through,

you'll either asleep, in which case...

Wake up!

Or you enjoyed it.

So drop us a review and tell your friends.
