This year, among events planned for the day, Freshpair models will be in midtown New York clad - you guessed it - in their undies and soliciting signatures for a petition to win official recognition for National Underwear Day. Americans alone spend nearly $13 billion on intimate apparel each year, according to a press release (in France, lingerie takes up 20 percent of the average woman's annual clothing budget.) Here are some other tidbits about underwear (go to www.freshpair.com for these and other nuggets of information): • Married men change their underwear twice as often as single men • Eight out of 10 women wear the wrong size bra. Eight-two percent of women have tried on men's underwear. • Thirty-one percent of men have tried on women's underwear. Go figure A new book written for plus-size women by the editors of "figure" magazine is getting positive reviews for its fun format and straight-forward advice. "Figure It Out: The Real Woman's Guide to Great Style" by Geri Brin and Tish Jett (Sixth & Spring Books, $17.95), features eight models "with the body characteristics of real women everywhere" and shows "before" (what not to do) and "after" (what to do) looks for work, play, a night on the town, a day at the beach and more. As the introduction points out: "Each chapter opens with a perfect look and ends with appropriate and inappropriate ways to dress." Special attention also is paid to various body types, and what wardrobe choices do and do not work for each. And finally . . . "Maybe the naked truth is glorious, but I like a bit of chiffon here and there." Elsie Janis, late stage and film actress | |||||
