HNT Present:s: New Underwear Days!

I was chatting with [livejournal.com profile] eposia the other day about how this has been a New Underwear Week for me - toss the old drawers, in with the new!

Or something like that. Anyway, we were talking about how we should promote it, like a "Going back to school? get a whole new wardrobe, people!" sort of thing. International New Underwear Week! (Think it'll catch on?)

One of my new pairs of underwear is patterned which, as anyone who took my underwear poll may remember, I don't usually like at all. Well, I have decided this pair is fun. And since [livejournal.com profile] renniekins is too busy off in Italy to give us a half-naked Thursday, I thought I would flash a few polka-dots at you all to encourage you to get silly and get yourself something fun and fresh. (go on, now! )


I feel very silly, and it's ok

Wooo!! Very nice :)

I don't generally like patterns either, but if I could find superhero patterned underwear in like womens bikini underwear I'd be all over it....

That reminds me that I need new skivvies before I flee the country!

Actually, I just did buy all new underwear. I had no idea I was so trendy.

Being a guy, I only just got into the colored underwear thing. It'll be a while before I get as far as patterned.

Though as far as boxers (which I wear to sleep as overshorts, since the fronts gap way too much/often to wear just them around my mother in law, and I don't want to wear just undies either) we have a couple patterned ones of those...they might count as underwear to some, just not to me.

I bought a couple of pairs of new boxers; my old ones were falling off me. That's what happens when you go from a 38" waist to a 33". Weird, I tell ya.

Nice panties, Anne. :)

That was actually part of what motivated this.. I have some "boy shorts" that I rather like but that are now too big for me. I went from a 33" waist to a 30" one.

(go us!)

Nice panties, Anne. :)
Thanks!

These are at least in superhero colors, which helps, I think.

Very nice. Oh, wait, I'm supposed to be looking at the underwear. ;)

I recently purchased new underwear too! I'm in da club!

I went shopping last week for some, but I didn't find anything I liked enough to actually buy on the spot.

Well get back out there, boy!

I got new underwear recently myself... and some of it is even patterned.

Two thoughts, though:

1. Anyone who makes a weight loss post on LJ should be required to post NSFW pics documenting it; and

2. That wasn't NSFW enough. ;-)

I bought iron-on transfers on eBay. The "batkini" is infinitely preferable to Paxil, as antidepressants go. I wonder how one goes about marketing such things?

International New Underwear Week is the best idea ever.

Very cute!

I was just pondering whether I should do an underwear turnover soon myself. A fair amount of my underwear is actually too small for me (damn inconsistent sizing standards) and plus, you know, polka dots are indeed awesome.

Anytime I can start a trend that culminates in a picture like that, I have done a good thing for the world.

OOO LA LA!

[identity profile] tlatoani.livejournal.com 2007-08-24 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Seconded. It's a great picture.

Very cute!

I do need new underwear...

[identity profile] rbradakis.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Hooray! I'm encouraged!

[identity profile] brendand.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
I totally lied! I happened to find a pair that I bought on clearance and had left out in the car with some other things I got last week. I hadn't even been looking for underwear at that store!

ooooh, lovely! And I'm delighted to have helped, even somewhat, with the inspiration.
