I figure that this is a perfectly apt subject for a post, especially considering the mood in the rest of the fandom right now thanks to the spoilers. You have to go look for them elsewhere on this journal - I don't want any accidents. For those of you who've read the spoilers, THIS IS A SPOILER FREE POST. Do not post them in the comments. For those ( Read more... )

Some Aussie company had started making male panties with laces and what not and it made the news here. I asked my husband what he thought and I`ve rarely seen him this negative. Why can`t men wear laces on their panties ( ... )
