Let's Talk About Underwear

Rate: 1 Flag
Now this is some fashion I don't mind discussing.

I feel you can tell a lot about a person by what they wear underneath all their other clothes.

That being said, I wasn't aware there were actual rules for buying underwear.

GQ feels differently:

It only took them one slide in the slideshow before they busted out the meat reference.

Personally, I think these boxer briefs look a little bland. I feel that if you're going to go for the BB's, you need to liven it up a little. Cartoons, phrases, strategically placed arrows, etc.

Just because you want to be well-covered doesn't mean you can't have a little fun.

Yawn, yawn, yawn. How disappointed would you be if someone removed their pants and THESE were hiding underneath?

And the colors--blue and gray? What look are you going for? Prisoner? Mormon?

"Sit a fly?" "Berries?" Are we not allowed to say "hang" and "testicles" anymore?

I like the third pair--they're a little on the Wonder Woman side.

This really isn't all that innovative. Forget girdles. When I was in high school, there was a brand of ribbed sweaters that could suck in the top half of a guy's body so that it looked like he had pecs, and go loose at the bottom to hide any extra stomach action.

I remember the first time this guy in my drama club took off his shirt backstage. All the girls looked like they were watching an avalanche--because they essentially were.

Moral of the story: No point to an illusion if eventually everyone's going to see where you're hiding your white tigers.

Just a thought.

So, do you ask "boxers or briefs" before you enter into social/business interactions with people? And, may I ask, what is your preference? (joking)
