"If you have a dragon on your underpants you will be protected"
From the ever-informative Khaleej Times. Hat tip to Beautiful Atrocities If your horoscope is looking a bit worrying for the coming Lunar New Year, a Hong Kong company has just the thing to put it right: feng shui underpants. "Our feng shui master says that having something lucky in contact with your skin would bring spiritual balance, so we thought lucky underpants would be ideal -- they are as intimate as you get," said Amy Law, a spokeswoman for the company.On Wednesday millions of Chinese around the world will welcome the new year of the rooster, the next in a recurring 12-year horological cycle, each of which is represented by a different animal of the zodiac. Ancient belief has it that each year reflects the character of its associated beast and as roosters are considered unpredictable, the coming 12 months are expected to [be] volatile. The underpants, which come in red, grey and white and in boxers for men and briefs for women, depict a dragon on the front in accordance with Chinese belief that the mythical creatures balance out the erratic nature of roosters. "If you have a dragon on your underpants, you will be protected," said Law. Posted by: Pappy 2005-02-08 |
