“You know, I used to look at all the flaws in the world and I’d think ‘if I could make one thing perfect…’ then I did: UNDERPANTS.” – Inspector 34
On Father’s day, I’ve been thinking about some of my favorite dads on TV shows and in movies over the years. I was a little Nickelodeon junkie back in the early nineties; and to this day Pete & Pete remains one of my all-time favorite shows. Their dad is without a doubt, one of my favorite TV dads. He’s an eccentic goofball, but at the end of every show you want him to give you a big hug.
For those of you who are not familiar with the show… Here’s the basic premise: it’s about two red-headed, quirky brothers, both named Pete, who live in “Wellsville” – a lovely suburb in anywhere, USA.
At first it seems like Pete and Pete have an ordinary suburban life, but throw in:
1) “mom’s metal plate,” a plate in their mother’s skull that can pick up radio stations and police signals 2) Petunia,a tattoo of a mermaid that little Pete has on his arm (note: it is never explained how a boy under the age of ten got such a tattoo, but that’s part of the beauty of the show) 3) Artie, a local superhero who wears clothes so tight he would never be allowed on a children’s network today and 4) occasional appearances by fellow Wellsville resident Iggy Pop
… and it’s not so ordinary anymore!!!
I put on an episode today called “Inspector 34″ – does anyone remember this fantastic storyline? Well, believe it or not it is all about, as the kids say, UNDERPANTS. And the importance of having perfectly crafted underpants. Little Pete notices that all the underpants he and his family have had his whole life come with a little tag that says:
Pete loves his perfect underpants: “Without binding, without chafing, in complete snugness, he finally understood… Inspector 34 was [his] guardian angel.” So he sets out to find Inspector 34, and, well, you have to watch to see what happens next to little Pete, his dad, and the rest of the family!
Watch Here!!!
This got me thinking… who inspects all the perfect “underpants” we have at Forty Winks? I’d like to meet whoever inspected these latest favorite pairs of mine!

Who it’s good for: A very close friend who will put it to good use (or at least have a good laugh about it at the shower…) The thong will fit women sizes 2-6 and the boyshort can be purchased in sizes small (sizes 2-4), medium (sizes 6-8), or large (10-12). 
Who it’s good for: just about anyone! Since it is not gathered, however, it can be slightly “unforgiving” in the tummy area. It looks great on women with evenly distributed weight. Is a great choice for a more conservative shower. 
Who it’s good for: Women sizes 2-6 who like thongs and appreciate a li’l bit of bling. Sexy, but not too “out there” for a more conservative bridal shower. 
Who it’s good for: a bride who has a more pragmatic outlook toward lingerie and is looking for gifts she can “get good use out of.” This set is pretty enough to make a great gift while also very functional. Can be worn as an everyday bra and/or for special occasions. Available in band sizes 30-38 and cup sizes A-F(DDD).
Who it’s good for: Women with larger cup sizes – from a C-F(DDD) and possibly even larger cup sizes depending on amount of support needed. Not too girly and not too sexy – a good choice for a woman with any style of dress. A lovely gift to open at any shower. 
Who it’s good for: the upper half of the jumper is rather long, so it tends to fit taller women (or shorter women with longer torsos) very well. Can fit over any bust size. Runs a tad small in the waist, so size up if the recipient is at the bigger end of a small, medium, or large. That being said, note that the tag with the size letter is easy to snip off, so if you give a large, she’ll never know!) Is particularly fun for a woman who likes to show off her back and legs.
