At one point I weighed a mere 115 pounds and had a 'thigh gap'. I purposely wore baggy pants to hide that as I felt it made me look like a Auschwitz victim.
Worse then that I thought that when people saw me in tight clothing it was like advertising my vagina. To provide clarity on this statement I present this quote from "Memoirs of a Geisha"
"The knot- what I've called the "pincushion"- is formed by wrapping the hair around a piece of fabric. In back where the knot is split, the fabric is left visible; it might be a design of any color, but in the case of an apprentice geisha- after a certain point in her life, at least- it's always red silk. One night a man said to me:
'Most of these innocent little girls have no idea how provocative the 'split peach' hairstyle really is! Imagine that you're walking along behind a young geisha, thinking all sorts of naughty thoughts about what you might like to do to her, an then you see on her head this split-peach shape, with a splash of red inside the cleft...' "Much like the hairstyle being used as a advertising/metaphor for the fact that they were still virgins, I feel that the 'thigh gap' is like saying "Hey guys, I have a hole between my legs, if you know what I mean!" Lewd. Bleh.
That's just my opinion, having had one. I still don't understand girls freaking out about a sliver of negative space...
