Check Your Underwear

Life is just too short to wear boring underwear. What are you wearing right now? If you forgot, you can take a peak right now and refresh your memory. If it’s some plain colored, bore-me-to-tears pair of underwear, you go ahead and slap yourself right now.

Come on now. You may have to wear this or that specific type of outfit for work or for function, but you should be having some fun with your underwear. Your underwear should inspire you, make you laugh, turn somebody on, and just make life more fun in general.

Did you know there is a day dedicated to underwear? Well there is and it’s tomorrow, August 5th. National Underwear Day is devoted to honoring “the first thing you put on and the last thing you take off every day.” Undies, panties, chonies, skivvies . . . whatever you want to call them, have been so under-appreciated. They provide comfort, protection from unwanted friction, shape, separation, lift, and support day in and day out. And what do they get for it? Thrown on the floor, chewed up by the dog, and never any real acknowledgement.

They have to sit down there quietly on your nether-regions and listen as all the other articles clothing gets noticed, accesorized, primped and praised. Well here’s the chance for underwear of all styles - their one day of the year to become the most important thing you wear.

Some areas go big with their celebrations of our faithful undergarments. If you happen to live in New York, the origin of this fine, fine event, you will be treated to underwear giveaways on the streets of the Big Apple and underwear fashion shows. Brazil has even gotten into this life-changing event. They celebrated in a big way in March of this year. I feel an “International Underwear Day” coming soon, don’t you? Underwear are on their way to being truly appreciated, one butt at a time.

Here are some ideas on how you can join the celebration.

~Wear your favorite pair of underwear - and make them fun. Don’t be throwin on your plain white, decades old, “but-they’re-so-comfortable,” nasties.
~Buy a new pair – if you don’t have a fun pair of undies, it’s mandatory that you get out there and buy a fun pair. The rest of us, go buy a new pair just because it’s the thing to do. Make them sexy, stylish, or fun. Maybe a new style. This would be an appropriate time of year to try something new.
~ Give underwear as gifts to your family and friends - everyone needs a new pair of underwear at least once a year. Make someone one smile with a fun new pair of undies.
~ Donate underwear to people in need - first let me say that you should really only donate new underwear! Used ones would be just plain wrong. Give them to the homeless, to a thrift store, to an orphanage, or to a shelter.
~Treat your other to a new sexy pair – get your special someone in on the celebration and give them a sexy pair as a gift. (Then have them wear them for you.)
~Put on a fashion show for an audience of one – a private fashion show for your special someone of all your sexiest, hottest, most irresistible undies. See how many pairs of super sexy undies you can get through before the show is stopped short because the audience member stormed the walkway.
~Wear your undies outside you clothes for all or part of the day – don’t be shy or feel awkward about this. Just think about how many superheroes do this! You’ll be feeling quite super yourself, I’m sure of it.
~Wear only your undies for all or part of the day - hopefully you live in a nice tolerant area. This choice is only for those with a truly brave and daring spirit. I’ve done this before because of . . . “clothing malfunctions” and, I’ll tell you, it made me glad that I only wear fun underwear. It also made me glad it was summer time and I was in a beach community. I think everyone thought they were my bathing suit bottoms.

Sexy, stylish and fun – this is what your underwear should be. Again, take a peak down your pants or skirt right now. How do your undies match up in those three categories??? If you are falling short, don’t worry, it’s never too late to change. Start on National Underwear Day and see how powerful the your underwear can be!
