Your writer  needs to look at the wording in her article. Two male models were “wearing only the diamond thong”?

As several readers noticed, that sentence really needed editing. 

Some readers also noticed the model was called a brunette in the story but seemed to be a blond in the photo. She was indeed a brunette, but she wore a long blond wig to cover her parts that needed to be covered, so we probably shouldn’t have mentioned hair color at all: GBU Editor
