Sweet September Summer

Coming soon- join my Undies of the Month Club and get a fresh pair of skivvies for your underwear drawer monthly :)

Why is Labor Day the unofficial end of summer?  I feel like summer just got to Seattle and I sure-as-heck don’t want to say good-bye yet!  :)

It seems like a good time to reflect.  To look forward to what’s coming this fall and winter, and looking back on what has happened this summer, underwear-wise :).

Therefore, dear Reader, with many thanks for your devotion, I now share my Super Exciting Fall Preview:

  • Undies of the Month Club coming soon- in time for the holidays!
  • Female-to-male transgender undies coming super soon.  Prototyping and discovering packing as I type!  Ish.  :)  Hang tight for more on that in the coming weeks…
  • Men’s briefs before the end of the year.  Woo hoo!
  • I’m so looking forward to introducing you to my new flat-lock machine that I haven’t yet had time to conquer… Super scary and exciting and I’m so glad you’ll be with me when I sit down to finally give it a try!  :)
What about you?  What does your fall look like?  Anything you’re especially looking forward to from La Vie en Orange?  Please comment below!

Future clients?

Picture, if you will, my sister-in-law and I at a party on Saturday night. It was in a beautiful, I-swear-I-saw-it-on-Pinterest, super modern, yet way DIY loft in Portland, with 60+ gay men.  Did I mention there were only 2 other women in attendance?  A vision, right?  :)

This was my weekend.  But I had a wonderful time and learned so much over the course of several enthusiastic conversations even though they quickly turned into me being the person cornering my formerly enthusiastic conversation partner (Seriously.  At least 4 times during the night I realized I had trapped the person I was talking to.  I pretty much just looked at my partner and said, “Go.”  I couldn’t believe I’d become that person!  Part of my day job is saving our staff at social events when they get cornered…  Oh, how the mighty have fallen…  :)).

Anyway. Did you know that men (at least several in this group) have some of the same fit issues with their underwear as women?!?  I guess I thought that since they didn’t have birthing (or not-birthing) hips nothing would be out of proportion.  But alas, no such luck, and they face undies that fit in the bottom but bundle at the waist too.  No one is immune!

The men I talked to were floored about my passion for perfectly fitting undies (it knows no gender :)), and implored me to start making men’s underwear.  I’m feeling super energized and inspired.  So.  Stay tuned :)

Have you ever talked to someone about a passion or interest and been met with immediate excitement and acceptance?  I’d love to hear more about it- please comment below!  :)
