American Apparel Cotton Spandex Jersey Boy Brief
Sometimes I will buy things that I love and they go bad. This happened to my favorite underwear, the Target modal thongs. Target doesn't sell them anymore, and this past month I've noticed that when I was taking off a pair, they were so stretched out and unwieldly, it looked like when Jack Black held up a pair of enormous knickers in "Shallow Hal".
Not sexy. No thank you, modal thongs. So, with great respect and lots of great memories, RIP Old Cheap Underwear. And enter New Cheap Underwear from American Apparel!
Listen, I think we all know where I stand on the infantillization. I feel like I want to throw up when I see anyone over the age of 12 wearing a girls school kilt and patent Mary Janes or whatever. I have huge issues with grown women looking like little girls. However, I really fucking dig when grown women look like little boys. The "boyification" of women is pretty great. I recently bought a bunch of these American Apparel boy briefs and they are great.
These underwear play an important role in my Sunday Morning Fantasy #27 (most women I know ages 21-31 have several dozen Sunday Morning Fantasies. I have discovered an extremely vulnerable and weirdly creative side of most women I know, that plan, cast, and set design how our Sunday mornings look in our futures. Like, somehow if a photographer where to surprise me at my house Sunday morning, I am doing something completely cool and photographable.)
Sunday Morning Fantasy #27 looks like this: Park Slope, Brooklyn. I am reading the Times Book Review and eating granola and fruit in these underwear and a tank top at my kitchen table with Pharell, my boyfriend.
We argue whether George Saunders is funnier in fiction or non-fiction (I say fiction, by a factor of 10. Pharrell disagrees, he loves his journalism.). The arguing really begins to escalate until our good friend Ryan McGinley arrives and persuades us to go to BAM with him.
Both Ryan and Pharrell agree that my underwear is adorable.
Price: $13
