Feb 10th, 2018: Lingerie

[xoxoxoBruce]

It’s almost Valentines day which means flowers, chocolates, and lingerie.
None of this is new, it’s traditional to give your sweetheart this crap.

Some vintage WWII Sweetheart Lingerie. Yes that’s right, World War II lingerie.
Soldiers abroad and in the States would also give their gal a pair of the saucy undergarments as a memento of their love, but also to make sure their girls stayed faithful while they were away. “Don’t Touch” and “Off-limits” were commonly embroidered into the crotch area of the lingerie alongside the name of the soldier’s naval base or fleet.

Don’t know if it worked or not because Rosie the Riveter was exploring new freedom.
