It’s Underwear Week! If Autostraddle owned an underwear store, it probably wouldn’t play the weirdo Top 40 that plays in Victoria’s Secret. And if I ran it (or Stef, probably even moreso with Stef), it would probably play a lot of Jock Jams.
Here’s the perfect soundtrack to eating cereal in your cotton briefs, straddling a hot girl in your boxers, or really just thinking about panties.
Autostraddle cannot exist without the generous support of our readers. We need to raise $175k in the next 2 weeks — or we won't make it to Pride. And a world without Autostraddle would be a loss on so many levels. Help us keep this indie queer media boat afloat! Every dollar helps.
