I was never one to spend a lot of money on my under-layers. You know, those sexy little panties (worst word ever, by the way) and lacy/flowery bras. Yes, I liked to look sexy once my clothes were removed, but I always thought that matching my bra to my underwear was enough (black on black never got any complaints). But while perusing the lingerie section in Target last weekend, I found some very cute and super sexy lingerie…and it was cheap!

So I bought it. And, being one who needs instant gratification, I wore it out that night.

It was a hit. I didn’t even need to strip my clothes off (which would have been quite awkward in the middle of the bar) for my lingerie to work its magic. Simply wearing it gave me confidence and had me walking around the bar like I had the body of Tyra Banks (before she got “fat”). And in return the boys came a’runnin. Seriously. As I stood by the bar waiting for my vodka tonic, three guys approached me and began flirting. Cotton underwear never warranted that kind of a response!

And it got better once I chose one and headed home. But that is between me, him (I think his name was Mike?) and the lacy number that I found behind my bookshelf in the morning. I immediately returned to Target the next day and bought every piece of lingerie in the store.

Bye bye cotton.
