...early enthusiast was designer Donna Karan, who was looking for something to wear under her famous body-hugging sheaths. Donna Karan Intimates now offers a sexy but supportive thong ($22 at Bloomingdale's), and others come from Nancy Ganz, Maidenform and Victoria's Secret. Made of lightweight microfibers, the thongs are a far cry from your grandma's breath-stopping girdle. And though some women still find the thongs a little risque, they're getting used to them. Some 37 million thongs were sold in the U.S. in 1999, giving the business a 20% boost in revenues over those...

And those users can forget about sharing with the geeks over on Freenet, which is highly specialized and built...

...cold at all," claims Alex Donovan, 16, as she steps over a snowy New York City curb while wearing Tevas. Extreme-sports enthusiast Dave Lynford, 19, says baring your toes to the elements "is no big deal." Kathryn Smith, who sells shoes in New York, says summer footwear is selling way past the traditional season, and attributes the trend "partially to the extreme-sports craze--it's part of the uniform for these kids." Another lure may be TV shows like Ally McBeal, where the stars bare lots of skin even on cold Boston nights. (Never mind that the show...
