These will forever remind me of getting ready with my West Side LA Girlies in the mid 2000s on a Friday night, a bedroom strewn with mall clothes and cosmetics, all packing into one black JETTA. As we drive down Sunset Blvd. past the Jesus sculpture in front of our all-girls high school, the burned CD mix oscillates between Ludacris, Felix Da Housecat, and Britney Spears. We are all screaming. We get to house party of some kid in the valley that gets shut down by the cops, and back into the car we go, to a lookout on the bluffs where the city lights twinkle back at us.
Someone’s mom was onto something. To this day these are my favorite underwear. So comfortable and inspiring! When I do my hand wash they hang together like a rainbow mobile sculpture. Every morning to choose a color is to choose a mood, an aura imprimatura.
Hanky Panky was started when Gale Epstein made her best friend Lida Orzek a bra-and-bikini set for her birthday present in 1977 out of embroidered handkerchiefs. Everything is made in the USA and they are a green company. Long wear for a long life. Goddess bless!
