Hottest trend in underwear since Obama - Palin panties

Filed under: Style in the News, Swimwear and Lingerie, Daily Obsession

We've got to admit, it sometimes blows our mind how quickly designers seize on the news of the day and creates literally thousands of goofy, politically-themed shirts, hats, and yes -- underwear. A couple of months ago, we came across news that underwear designer Andrew Christian was hocking Obama-themed undies. Well, as of last Friday, there's a new face being plastered across the crotch of thousands of pairs of underwear: Sarah Palin's.

Just as in the case with the Obama boxer briefs, we're left wondering: why would women want to wear governor Palin's face on their crotch -- AND, is that meant to signify support or disdain? Anyway, searching on Cafe Press' website alone, there are at least 767 variations of Palin undies available, from simple slogans to designs featuring a gun-toting silhouette á la Charlies Angels.

As Obama was three months ago, Palin is right now. She's the political flavor of the month, and retailers are cashing in big. What a circus.
