My wacky Aunt Arlie was reading (in the National Enquirer, yet) that lacy underwear for men is the latest rage. The Enquirer even gave a plug to a Website that sells some mighty peculiar his & hers dainties:
Hidden Vestments
Now Arlie has her mind set on buying a set of these slinky duds for her husband, Uncle Jack, as a birthday gift (Uncle Jack, incidentally, will be 70 years old and resembles a fatter version of Karl Malden.)
HELP! I know I am out of touch with pop culture, but are frilly camisoles and lace-trimmed boxers really being worn by regular guys these days? I would like to talk Aunt Arlie out of her obsession, particularly since the gift is going to be presented at a family get-together where everyone will get to see Uncle Jack opening his birthday presents, revealing these godawful leftovers from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Good Lord, the shock might kill him.
So I ask the younger, hipper contingent of this board (and I admit humbly that almost all of you are younger and hipper than I am,) is this sort of underwear actually "the thing", or is Aunt Arlie ready for the Rubber Room?
