"If you have a dragon on your underpants you will be protected"
2005-02-08
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.

#11  What about a dragon tattoo on the butt?

Does THAT provide protection too?

As soon as I saw this I remembered that....

There was a "well proportioned" bikini (it was red) sort of attached to a girl (early 20's-I'm 51 so I can call her a girl) at the beach last summer, and a very obvious but petite snarling dragon peering out from... well... you know what I am getting at?

Is she peotected from the bad luck too?

#1  Ã¢Â€Â¦the coming 12 months are expected to [be] volatile.

This has less to do with twelve-year cycles and more to do with the terror groups.
