A Note From Our Sponsors

Guest post from AJ , friend o’ the Blogthing :

I saw this display at the Humboldt Sponsors rummage sale at Redwood Acres today. My daughter asked me, “Papa, why do those panties have a hole in them?”

The only thing worse than being asked that question is having women watch you take pictures of a panty display with your cell phone.

…panties? I thought that was a miniature gorilla suit.

underwear from a rummage sale? that is pretty bad unless it is not a true rummage sale (2nd hand sale). Maybe the hole was cut to make them sanitary.

So, why do they have a hole in them?

Okay, I’ll play Zeppo to your Groucho (or is it the other way around?). The purpose of the hole is to provide convenient access to the genitalia.

As Time Magazine reported in 1970, it was Frederick’s of Hollywood that brought us this innovation of women’s wear.
