The only reason I was aware of this "happening" was because Cameron and a few of her friends decided that this sounded like a hysterical thing to do. They went to Macy's last week to purchase matching boxers. Since the girls were buying boxers I assumed that everyone on the subway would be wearing similarly modest undies. Not so...(see photos below)





For the most part wearing boxer shorts or boy short undies is no more revealing than what you see on the subway on a summer afternoon. But some of these boys and girls were pushing the word "briefs". Anyone who has ever ridden a subway understands that a "sub"way is underground meaning that you will need to walk up stairs to reach the outside or to transfer to another platform to another train. I don't think that I need to go any further with the visual.
The best sighting I had was early on in the afternoon. The doors opened to an Express #2 train and a very beautiful woman wearing a parka, a hat, boots, and boy shorts was standing reading a magazine and next to her was a very good looking man wearing a leather jacket, boxers, black socks and dress shoes, and sunglasses. They looked like a Calvin Klein print ad. Oh, if only a fraction of the participants had been half as good looking.
Jeff and I met Cam and her merry band at the Starbucks off of Union Square. They looked a little tired and sun deprived from spending the day underground, but they were no worse for the wear. Actually, I want to send a very special shout out to the mom who chaperoned the girls and for them taking them for an afternoon of fun on the #1 and L trains. Making sure four lovely teenage girls stayed away from groping hands on those crowded trains took vigilance and a great sense of humor.
Why didn't I do it? I don't have the legs for it when they are sun kissed in the summer, a lot less when they are the color of uncooked biscuits in January.
"Uncooked biscuits in January" - awesome.
