1. I was under the impression that Bill Blass didn't actually like women.

2. That disco underwear ad actually makes sense. Lots of gay clubs do underwear nights where you just wear underwear in the club and a lot of the underwear is very much like that pair and designed to show off the goods.

He didn't - I actually know a lot more about this - I could tell you but would have to kill you.

The velvet mafia is real.

This ad makes me all kinds of angry or would if it weren't so old!

Yeah. It's such a thing now that the expensive underwear shops now sell boxers that have pockets in them for phone and wallet. (My assumption is that these nights are the only possible reason anyone would need pockets for their phone and wallet in their boxers.)
