More Underwear that's Fun to Wear

[RSS]

I wouldn't be a good seventies orientated blogger if I didn't address Underoos every so often. I think I saw my first commercial for these probably during the Superfriends and like a lot of kids, demanded them on the next shopping trip. Of course, they were no where to be found in my area. At least my kids have them now.

This ad features my favourite 70s Marvel Character Spider-Woman, I really wish Mego had made a figure of her....

good ol' underoos ... my reward for being potty trained was a set of Batman underoos ... I was 2 1/2 to 3 years old ... I remember stars on a chart and getting my underoos after not crapping myself for like a month (prob. a week but seemed like a month to me at the time) ... TMI i know, but damnit I wanted my Batman underoos and I worked hard to get them

I think the shirt might still be around here somewhere.

I never got any underoos as a kid 'cause my mother was afraid I'd just go running around the neighborhood in my underwear playing superhero...and her point was?......

Never had the "long-johns" type seen here. Just the T-shirt and briefs. I hope they made a Shazam, because the yellow piping on that girls red outfit screams...well...SHAZAM!

Spider-Woman has one of the best visuals in comics. Plus she was drawn very...curvy.

I had several pair. Lasted til, I think, fifth or sixth grade, when we started playing basketball and had to change in the locker room. Then suddenly, I was catching all kinds of static for wearing Underoos.

I don't remember ever having underoos, probably because I'm one of the older ones here. I am surpirsed at how much packaged ones can go for at times.

'Course if they made a pair of MAN-THING underoos, that would have rocked in my high school Gym class..

I was definitely at that age where I really wanted them, but would have NEVER admitted it. I think I was trying to convince myself I was too old for such amazingly cool, fun things.
