Underwear is king. I mean from a purely monetization standpoint. Forget Facebook buy stock in underwear. Literally and literally. I mean buy both - the actual wearable kind and the company's shares. One to keep you cool - looking cool and the other to make money so you can buy actual clothes to wear over your underwear. Although looking at the crowds these days the latter may be optional. In that case the profits from the stock can be spent on more underwear or some other addictions.
Everyone is getting in on that act. From famous music and filmi personalities to even tennis stars. Recently I read that some ex communist bloc country's rising female tennis phenom has gone into business to sell eponymous brand of women's racy undergarments. Lesser the material used the more the profits. Literally and imaginatively.
Even Seinfeld (one of my heroes) turned down a $100M gig to do another show for NBC it appears - I read between the lines that the undie business which his wife started some years back must be going gangbusters - so nah there is no need to burn the midnight oil other than for certain pleasurable pursuits.
When Gandhi took out his loom to crank out handmade fabric he never dreamt that the looming future would hold so much promise...fruits of the loom have indeed come a long way today where twenty something upstarts have found new business opportunities again to help gullibles part with their cash.
I guess certain branded undergarments can no longer claim exclusive access to their Secret?
Here is another essay on the subject of first names. As in birth names. Or names provided to an offspring at birth. While the developed world tends to shy away from the exotic like Refrigerator or Coca Cola for their new production there is a plethora of Jims and Johns and Bobs or Robs. Speaking of which I do not think there is a categoric decision point at the time of birth if a child will be hereafter called as Bob. I mean have not yet met a toddler called Bob or Rob for that matter. At some point though the parental instinct to mouth out multiple syllables runs out and they switch from calling the crawler Robert to simply Robbie to Rob. Now speaking of - it is strange that the name sounds like something you would not want Rob to do - i.e. Rob anyone. Then why call someone that? After all Rob Peter to Pay Paul is not exactly a maxim to live a young life? Is it? Perhaps Peter or Paul might want to have a say in it? Then there is this matter of going to the John. Why degrad...
Are we sure that people are not going fruity, or going bananas here with an over dose of under garment brands? How much underwear can one wear?
