I know it seems like we just put away our decorations, but down in Brazil it’s National Underwear Day again. I know, it really came around fast this year!
And where do you go to find folks wearing almost nothing when it’s not carnival time? It’s just a wild guess, but I’d try the downtown bus station. Some things are the same everyplace you go.
I honestly worry that amid all the commercial aspects of this holiday, the true meaning is getting lost. Like, is the basic point of the day to buy new underwear, change our underwear, wash our underwear or what? I suppose until I find out for sure, I should generally avoid other people.
