Panties, Boxers and Briefs, Oh My!

In case you didn't know, today is National Underwear Day.

The day of public parading in undies happens in New York and is sponsored by FreshPair.com. Yes, this is a soft-pitch publicity stunt for an online underpants retailer, but so what. They're providing an important public service: Celebrating underwear!

"Founded in August 2003, National Underwear Day is an event that evokes the care-free attitude of Sixties 'happenings', when free spirits took control of public spaces as venues for their art, their message. Our message at Freshpair is the belief that underwear deserves a lot more recognition than it gets. Americans spend more than $13 billion on intimate apparel each year and for that kind of money, we feel it is our duty to tell the world. With National Underwear Day, we've taken underwear out of the dresser drawer and into the streets - by sending twenty male and female models out clad only in our finest undergarments."

Vote for the sexiest model, learn fascinating statistics about underwear, or check out photos from last year.

I wouldn't suggest you dress down to your skivvies at work, but do try to celebrate this day, my favorite of all the August 9 holidays, in your own special way.
