I see Belgium, I see France, I see lots of underpants

Wouldn’t you love to see underwear from the very most famous person in Belgium?

Well no, I don’t actually know who that is. I was hoping you would.

Anyway, an artist in Brussels has just opened the Musee du Slip, featuring framed underwear donated by mostly Belgian artists, singers and politicians.

Each pair must have been worn at least once by the donor.  I’m hoping it’s been washed, too.

Not just content to display the underpants of famous Belgians, the artist hopes to get underwear from France’s first lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. Cripes, I have restraining orders to show that isn’t as easy as it sounds.

The artist says he would also like some undies from the pope, “Or the Iranian president. People would queue to see that.”

Maybe they would, but only in Belgium.

All righty, then!

I am convinced a tad bit of bikini waxing would do wonders!

We need to get to the bottom of this. Either that, or butt out. How derriere you expose this moon to the public?

I wonder if the Taft museum has any of the old guy’s naughty bits around…I wonder if they’d accept the donation…
