My first foray into authentic vintage lingerie.
[[MORE]]
I recently rediscovered an old nightgown of my mothers - I salvaged it from my father’s purging before he moved from our old home a few years after Mom died.

Panties for geek girls!
I just came across BunnyJump, a crafter in Bath, England, who makes some really great, nerdy panties.
(Price range ~$25 USD)
Scrabble panties!
Gryffindor panties! (For the lioness in all of us)
Pride and Prejudice panties!
I can’t get over how cute it all is, and I’ll definitely be looking to buy a pair or two in the near future.
P.S. She has a tumblr!
I need new "Period Panties,"
halizanderthegreat:
you know, the cheap, durable kind that you don’t mind getting stained.
Any suggestions?

Almost a year after purchase, this is what it looks like in person:

Incidentally, the uterus...

So what are tap pants and why am I in love with...
