A Christmas Underwear Conundrum

A few weeks ago, I mentioned to UMan that I thought it would be cool for the staff of the blog to submit a picture of pieces of their underwear collection hung upon their Christmas tree. Apparently he thought I was joking, because when I sent the picture to him, he said, "Haha wow. You did do it! Post please!" So here I am, posting the picture of my "Underwear Tree" for your enjoyment. (I apologize for the picture not being the best quality. My good camera is out of commission, so my iPhone camera has to suffice for now). 

"The undies were hung on the tree with great care."

And in keeping with the Christmas theme, I would like to discuss the Christmas underwear gifting concept. We are, after all, in the season of giving. I, for one, find underwear gifting to be a very intimate situation. I wouldn't buy underwear for just anyone. Nor would I accept underwear from just anyone. It is highly likely that my association of underwear being an intimate is because it's one of the last things that separates us from being in our most vulnerable state. I mean, if I'm in a state of dress in anything less than my undies (naked), then I really trust the person who is with me. Not to mention, very few people even get to see me in my underwear, especially my more exotic pairs (the bikinis, jocks, and thongs, of course). 

For most of my life, my grandmother has given all of us underwear for Christmas. Normally, they are those tacky seasonal boxers from Old Navy or someplace similar. Now, I side with UMan on the boxers situation - I find them tacky and completely atrocious and furthermore will not wear them. Needless to say, my grandmother giving me the holiday boxers is far from the intimate underwear exchange that I have in my mind. So this year, I told her, "Please don't give me underwear this year. I'm way to picky with my underwear." 

Were I to do an underwear exchange, I would hope it would be with one of two groups: either a bud with whom I have shared the fact that I have an underwear obsession or a significant other in which case the underwear exchange could turn into something even more intimate and exciting. 

So what say you? What are the readers' perspectives on the underwear gifting conundrum? Also, feel free to post pictures of your "Underwear Trees." Oh, and if anyone cares to send me a Christmas underwear package, I like anything other than boxers ;-)

Merry Christmas

'Tis Almost The Season

It's starting to get to be that time of year again where all the holidays fall one after another.  Thanksgiving is next week, and before you know it BAM it will be the end of the year.  So why not start getting ready a little early with these Christmas undies from Unico.  They are available exclusively through Dead Good Undies and come in red mesh for a festive look.  The waistband, instead of saying Unico, says "Merry Christmas".  They come in both brief and trunk styles.  And cost about $20 USD.  So get your holiday underwear shopping done a little early this year, it will be one less thing you'll have to worry about later. 

Merry Christmas - Eye Candy Part 3

Holiday Eye Candy Part 2

Here's to hoping that you find some great packages under the tree this year :) Art by Paul Richmond. I'm really loving the holly and polka dot briefs here, I wish that you could actually buy them. You can, however, buy his art in greeting card form and prints here.

Holiday Eye Candy Part 1

Here's a little Christmas eye candy from artist Paul Richmond. Paul Richmond uses his paintings as a way of exploring his own sexuality and life, often depicting cute pin-up boys like the one above. His paintings have been displayed at venues including the World of Wonder Gallery, A Bitchin' Space, Gallery Arcane, the Columbus Museum of Art, and OAL Gallery, and have been licensed for concert merchandise, novel cover publication, and a greeting card line. Richmond's work can be seen in the gay erotic art anthology Stripped Uncensored, published by Bruno Gmünder, as well as on novel covers by MLR Press and Dreamspinner. He is currently preparing for a solo exhibition, Gay Day at Paulyworld, scheduled for June 2010 at the Center on Halsted Gallery in Chicago. Be sure to check out Paul's website and shop where you can get prints of his wonderful work, and stay tuned for more Christmas-themed eye candy from Paul Richmond.

Above is artist Paul Richmond caught in pin-up boy style.
