UNB Model Profile featuring Will Clark

Will Clark - Timoteo underwear 03

This week’s profile features Will Clark.  I stumbled across Mr. Clark and his shots wearing Timoteo for Armando Adajar and knew he would be the perfect addition to our growing profile series.  Will sat down with me to talk about his start into modeling, the breakthrough he is waiting for, and how he values his family.

UNB Kyle:  What was your first modeling gig and how did you come to get it?

Will:  The very first time I got in front of a camera was with my ex in a couples shoot. I had been going to several 1shoots with her over the course of a few months supporting her. After a while I began to get curious, and wanted to try and get in front of the camera myself. What better way to start out than with your experienced girl friend? 

Kyle:  I think that is a great start.  Being a good boyfriend and supporting and it probably helped you calm your nerves a little bit the first time in front of the camera, being with her.  What made you want to pursue modeling?

Will:  After my first solo shoot in San Diego with Armando Adajar, I realized all the work that goes into creating a vision in a single snap of a picture. The more I learned about the art and creativity that went into producing a single frame, the more I began to like process.

Kyle:  Sounds like someone has a creative side too.  Appreciating and learning everything that goes into what we see as the final product.  Perhaps down the road you will get to explore your creativity in shoots.  Which shoot do you consider your breakthrough in your career?

Will:  Unfortunately I do not believe I have had that shoot just yet. Although if I were to pick a favorite shoot, I would have to say the shoot with Armando. Mostly due to the fact that he knew I was just getting started so he took the time to walk through the process and teach me a lot pointers that I carry on to all of my current shoots. I’m very fortunate to have collaborated Armando. I am always open to new possibilities and opportunities.

Kyle:  It is nice to see a photographer willing to teach a new model instead of dwell on the fact that the shoot will not 1958334_785622801476575_7970032982493964602_nbe as straightforward as experienced models.  I am sure when you have that breakthrough moment, it will be an amazing feeling and we hope to hear about it!  Which shoot has been your most challenging and why do you think that?

Will:  Recently I worked with a more local photographer named Ross Haley. We were working together to get some catalog shots for a clothing line out of New York. I have been trying to explore and experience all aspects of modeling, and this one was more conservative posing than I have done in the past. The challenge was that I kept catching myself in a dominate stance that was more fitness oriented.

Kyle:  I like that you are exploring the different avenues that modeling has to offer.  You probably didn’t expect something so standard like catalog work to be as complicated as it was.  It just shows that every aspect has their quirks.  I am sure not every shoot goes according to plan.  Any embarrassing photo shoots you want to tell us about?

Will:  Hahaha! Armando and I did a scene with the same underwear from Timoteo on a hiking trail in San Diego. In just some shoes and a jock strap as some guy and his dog come strolling by.

Kyle:  I am sure he rounded the corner and was not expecting that but what great moments to laugh about together.  Are there any brands or photographers you would like to work with that you have not worked with yet?

Will:  Two of the photographers that I would really love to work with in the future would be Pat Lee and Wain Wright. These two fitness photographers produce absolutely great work!

Kyle:  We hope they are reading this and give you that opportunity!  Apart from modeling, what is something that WClark_RSH_6your fans don’t know about you that you want them to know?

Will:  Most people outside of close friends and family don’t really see the amount of time that I spend with my family. I have a large immediate family that is extremely close. Typically whenever I am balancing my schedule, regardless of time constraints, I am always making time to stop in and see my brothers and sister. Spending as much time as I can with my niece and nephew.

Kyle:  That is wonderful.  Family is important.  Sounds like they support you too.  We see your body and know that you are not eating too much junk food with the family, so what kind of diet and exercise do you do to prepare for shoots?

Will:  I am always structured when it comes to my dieting and exercise. This past season I decided to take an off season and really work on my weak points of my physique. So now coming into this season of competitions and photo shoots I will stay as lean as I can comfortably in between shoots. I prefer to plan as far out as possible for a shoot, I like to have at least 2 weeks to prepare for a shoot. Unfortunately that is not always the case which is why it’s photo (1)crucial to stay lean all the time. The last two weeks I really start to cut down on carbs, and increase my rep ranges. The last week before the shoot I like to cut cardio out of the regimen to prevent getting a “flat” look in the shots. The last couple days I cut carbs out virtually all together, and limit my water the day before. Spiking my carbs up the night before to fill out the muscle and give you the best look.

Kyle:  Quite a process and regimen there but it definitely pays off.  But for fun, how about a favorite cheat meal?

Will:  Actually just today some of my friends, and I tried a new cheating method where you can eat as much as you want, but it has to be with in a 1 hour window. No exceptions after the timer goes off though. After eating all the food I could not move from the couch for almost 5 hours.

Kyle:  I can only imagine how you felt after that hour!  Ok, now we all want to know, open your drawer and tell us what is it made up of?  % boxer briefs, % briefs, % jocks, % thongs.

Will:  Honestly it has to be a 50/50 between Boxer briefs and Briefs.

Kyle:  And outside that drawer, how about the craziest pair of underwear you have ever worn?

Will:  Hands down it has to be some of the Timoteo underwear line out of Los Angeles.

Kyle:  Must have been that jock on the trail!  One last question.  You are at the shoot, in a jockstrap, about to start your day.  What goes through your mind right before you have to do these revealing shoots?

Will:  Well there are always questions of where will they be, what is the purpose of the use, and what is the selling point. However at that point I have completely collaborated with the photographer to put my mind at ease.

UNB Model Profile featuring Adam Phillips

IMG_8078

The model series here at Underwear News Briefs continues with the beautiful addition of Adam Phillips.  Adam sat down with us to talk about his start in the modeling world, how his career has been so far and where he hopes it will take him.

UNB Kyle:  What was your first modeling gig and how did you come to get it?

Adam:  My debut modeling gig was for a Plymouth-based underwear company. I was contacted by a friend who worked for the company. I was really excited to see the images since it was my first gig, only to find out that my head and most of my torso had been cut off!

Kyle:  Oh that is a shame!  I am sure that was a little disappointing but look where it got you!  What made you want to pursue modeling?10612574_300433813414385_3218347772675108625_n

Adam:  Being quite creative myself, I guess this was a big factor into why I pursued modeling. I think in a visual way and I enjoy seeing the final edits of my images as I have a real appreciation of color and composition. Having the opportunity of being able to travel the world and do something you love is very appealing too.  I enjoy meeting different people who also think in a creative way.

Kyle:  Being creative, have you been able to help plan or put your spin on any pictures yet?

Adam:  I tend not to get involved with what the photographer wants if I have only shot with them.  Sometimes I help with ideas and help creatively where I can.  A lot of the positions I pose in are freestyle.

Kyle:  I love that you are a creative person.  It is such an amazing gift to have that mind and to be able to take that vision and turn it into a reality.  Which shoot do you consider your breakthrough in your career?

Adam:  My shoot with Cal McDougall was definitely my break-through. I have had the pleasure of shooting with Cal on numerous occasions as we work well together. I recall one shoot, set in a cave, which was really fun to do and from that shoot I ended up on the front cover of DNA magazine, which is sold worldwide.

IMG_5697Kyle:  Sounds like a great pairing!  The cover of DNA magazine is quite an accomplishment too.  Congrats!  Which shoot has been your favorite? Why?

Adam:  If I am honest, I don’t have a favorite shoot. It would be too difficult to pick one as I have enjoyed so many for many different reasons.  They are all favorites because of the cool locations such as Istanbul and New York, the people I work with, and the clothes that I, ha, sometimes wear! At the end of most of my shoots, I am really buzzing and excited to see the final images. 

Kyle:  Haha I like that clothes comment.  That’s part of the job I would assume.  But the places it takes you and the people you meet you can’t put a price on.  With everywhere you have been and everything you have done, which shoot has been your most challenging and why?

Adam:  My most challenging shoots are definitely with Cal. Our shoots tend to last long and we often move around.  We end up either in the sea, scaling cliffs or trailing through forests. I usually end up wet during the shoots and often find myself in the sea, wishing we were shooting somewhere a whole lot hotter than the UK.

Kyle:  Yes.  I am sure a tropical location is the first thing that comes to your mind with that.  How about your most embarrassing photo shoot?

Adam:  My most embarrassing photo shoot I ever did was probably the first ever time I got in front of the camera. Plymouth Calender men test shoot! I was totally out of my comfort zone and had no idea what I was doing!   

Kyle:  I am sure that is normal in the beginning.  But you have come so far, with amazing shoots and probably a higher comfort level.  Are there any brands or photographers you would like to work with that you have not worked with yet?

Adam:  I am still pretty new to the modeling industry so would love to shoot some clothing lines or model for a swimwear/underwear campaign. I love my fashion, so anything from Calvin Klein to Zara would be a dream. There are so many talented photographers I still would love to work with but have been fortunate to collaborate with some of the best photographers already, such as Rick Day and Greg Vaughan.10649732_295641643893602_2927584222330448162_n

Kyle:  I am sure you will have that opportunity in your future.  Apart from modeling, what is something that your fans don’t know about you outside of modeling that you want them to know?

Adam:  Before modeling, I studied at university and received a degree in graphic communication and typography.

Kyle:  Good to have that degree in your back pocket.  What kind of diet and exercise do you do to prepare for shoots?

Adam:  Prior to a shoot, I would usually try to stick to a protein diet. So a week before, I maybe would have 2 meals of carbs and the rest of my diet would be protein-based. I aim to go to the gym at least four times a week, and I avoid alcohol and unhealthy food, although having a sweet tooth can sometimes lead me into a little sugary temptation!

Kyle:  But when you are not preparing for a shoot and you get to sneak that cheat food in, what is it?

Adam:  Easy!  Favorite cheat meal is probably an English breakfast.  Fry it up!

Kyle:  Now, we are an underwear blog so we all want to know what is really your taste, not just what we see in shoots.  So, looking at your underwear drawer, what is it made up of? % boxer briefs, % briefs, % jocks, % thongs.

Adam:  50% boxers and 50% briefs.  

Kyle:  Equal love for both.  But we know there have been others on you.  How about the craziest pair of underwear you have ever worn?

Adam:  The answer to that Kyle is no underwear, however, I do have a pair of wild things silk boxers.

6a00e54ecca8b9883301a73db4b710970d

Kyle:  Good answer.  Nothing is definitely crazy to some!  So I leave you with one last question to set the scene for us.  The photographer is set up, you are wearing nothing or just a pair of underwear, people standing around waiting for you, what goes through your mind right before you have to do these revealing shoots? 

Adam:  I don’t dwell on a photo shoot before.  I find I get caught up in the moment and just try to produce the best image I possibly can.  If the photographer is happy, then I am happy.

cheapundies_0008_layer26_1024x1024
I have been very interested in the Cheap Undies website lately because it is amazing to find such great underwear at such unbelievable prices.  I also love the fact that this business has been able to develop their own brand on top of selling so many other wonderful brands.  Everyday at 12:00pm I wonder what the new special will be.  I decided to experience another personal selection of theirs and purchased the Cheap Undies Bulge Brief.  For underwear so cheap, you have to wonder if the quality is going to be there.  What I can say about this pair, is the price is the only thing that is cheap about them!

First impressions, whether we like it or not, are a big deal.  If you look at the picture on their site for this pair of underwear, you CHEAPUNDIES_0006_Layer28_1024x1024immediately notice how fantastic they look on this man’s body.  When I received the pair in the mail, the first impressions kept on coming.  I loved the sexy black waistband, with black piping, against a neon green vibrant color.  The Cheap Undies logo on the waistband is in a fun yet sophisticated font.  Finally the touch.  Holding this cotton/elastane mix in my hand had my excited for what I could only imagine would be a comfortable fit.

I slipped the pair on and prepared myself for a busy work day.  I wear a medium and the sizing was great.  It fit everywhere it needed to with no problems or discomfort.  Being called a bulge brief you know there will be extra room and support in the front.  I am your basic average guy in that department but the bigger men should have no problem.  This pair felt amazing all day long.  I can honestly say that I NEVER had a problem of discomfort with this pair for the entire day.  From sitting to standing to working out, this pair held up great.

As I said before, the price may be cheap but there is nothing cheap about the quality of this brief.  This is what a basic brief in any collection should be and Cheap Undies nailed it!  I feel like a really good pair of underwear can get a steady 9 in a review.  But this pair, deserves a 10!  Now I need to go buy the other colors!

Pros:

  • Very soft and comfortable
  • Appealing design
  • Amazing price

Cons:

  • Larger selection to load up on!

Ratings:

  • Daily Fit = 10
  • Sizing = 10
  • Construction/Materials = 9.5
  • Styling = 9.5
  • Daily Performance = 10
  • Overall =10

This pair is available at Cheap Undies for $8.95

 

 

UNB Model Profile featuring Cody Johnvin

image (7)

It’s great to sit down with some of the newer models on the block to see how their career has taken off.  Cody Johnvin tells us about his desire to start modeling, who his biggest target is in the photography industry, and how important the gym and a healthy lifestyle is to his being.

UNBKyle:  Thanks for taking the time to speak with me.  Let’s start from your beginning.  What was your first imagemodeling gig and how did you come to get it?

Cody:  I guess my first real photo shoot was a few days after my birthday down in Chicago, Il for Jr Nationals. A friend of mine had put me into contact with Golden Czermark aka: Furious Fotog. Golden had a lot of shoots already lined up, but said he could fit me in, so I scraped up every penny and made the journey down there. At the time I was working night shift, so I left home late that night, headed down to Chicago, slept for about an hour in a parking garage and then went and did the photo shoot with Golden. From then on, I guess I was hooked!

Kyle:  That is a great beginning.  Saving every penny and taking a chance, sleeping in the car, and shooting after barely any sleep.  What made you want to pursue modeling?

Cody:  I guess I would have to say that it is extremely self-rewarding when something you have worked on your entire life begins to unfold. At this point, I don’t have college wrestling or other sports to train for (with the exception of men’s physique bodybuilding), so it has become another thing to keep me driven with my type of lifestyle in the gym.

Kyle:  Well, we can tell the gym is definitely paying off.  Which shoot do you consider your breakthrough in your career?

Cody:  Well, that’s a bit of a toss-up. What ended up happening was, that night after the shoot with Golden, Allan Spiers contacted me and wanted to shoot with me while I was still in Chicago. I shot with Allan the very next morning and he recommended me to start up an athlete page on Facebook. After the first couple shots from Golden and Allan were posted, I couldn’t believe the opportunities that opened up for me. At times it was a bit overwhelming for a small town guy like myself!

image (4)Kyle:  Wow.  That ended up being quite a few days for you!  I am sure that can be very overwhelming and feels like a dream.  Which shoot has been your favorite? Why?

Cody:  That is a difficult question because every photographer has different styles, looks, and ideas. I don’t know if I have a favorite, but I really enjoyed shooting with Golden because he answered so many of my questions and really made me feel comfortable for my first big shoot.

Kyle:  Sounds like he was a good initial mentor.  Hopefully that relationship has continued to grow.  Which shoot has been your most challenging? Why?

Cody:  I would have to say shooting for the cover of “Awakening the Willow’s Heart” was the most difficult because I really wanted to capture the image/moment the author had envisioned. I’ve also known Photography by Jane since I was a young boy, so it made for a lot of fun and some good laughs!image (1)

Kyle:  I can see that challenge since you are turning a story into a vision.  Are there any brands or photographers you would like to work with that you have not worked with yet?

Cody:  One of my goals has always been to do a shoot with Pat Lee, so hopefully some doors with that will open up at some point. Otherwise, I think it would be a huge honor to be in Men’s Health Magazine someday. Dream big, achieve big.

Kyle:  Well hopefully those big things will come your way!  We can’t wait to see more from you!  What is something that your fans don’t know about you outside of modeling that you want them to know?

Cody:  I’m not a certified dietitian or trainer although it may be something I will work into in the future. As far as diet and exercise goes, I have taken bits and pieces from nutritionists, coaches, athletes, etc. and used them to find out what works best for my body. What I really love doing is motivating and inspiring people to show that anything can be achieved with the right mindset.

Kyle:  I can see your passion in that.  What kind of diet and exercise do you do to prepare for shoots?

Cody:  I typically add an hour of fasted cardio sometime in the morning which usually involves a bit of interval training. I also begin to super-set more when lifting to increase the intensity of my workout. With my diet, I typically eat pretty healthy year round, so when it comes to prepping for a shoot or show, I break up my meals into smaller portions (6-8 per day) and increase my water intake even more until a few days before.

UNB Model Profile featuring Bentley Hudson

IMG_3879

We love finding newer talent on Twitter and when we saw Bentley Hudson we knew we had to sit down with him and take a look at his portfolio.

UNB Kyle:  What was your first modeling gig and how did you come to get it?

Bentley:  My first gig was a Ralph Lauren Polo presentation. I got it with my agency, soulartistmgmt, right when I was first signed with them. IMG_3875

Kyle:  Polo.  Nice gig to start with.  What made you want to pursue modeling?

Bentley:  I  thought it would be so cool to travel and see the world as I work and shoot for companies. 

Kyle: Definitely a good way to travel.  I am sure you get to go to all kinds of different locations.  Which shoot has been your favorite? Why?

Bentley:  Dujour magazine editorial with Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner and Kris Jenner shot by Bruce Weber.  That shoot was my favorite for sure so far.  I really enjoyed the chance to talk to Bruce Weber, eat lunch with him, and to meet the Jenners. 

Kyle: Which shoot has been your most challenging? Why?

Bentley:  Tough shoot.
I shot with Kat Morgan for Schon magazine.  It was a nude shoot.  There were girls in some of the pictures so it was a little uncomfortable for all of us. 

Kyle:  I guess that is one way to get comfortable with someone very quickly.  Are there any brands or photographers you would like to work with that you have not worked with yet?

Bentley:  I would love to work with Steven Klein, Mario Testino and would love to work with Bruce Weber again. I would love to walk for or shoot for Versace, Givenchy, Ralph Lauren, and John Varvatos. 

IMG_3906Kyle:  Great goals there.  What is something that your fans don’t know about you outside of modeling that you want them to know?

Bentley:  I play high caliber ice hockey all over the United States and out of the states.  I had some great opportunities to go to good colleges to play.  Unfortunately, I broke my back when I was 21. I’m a very athletic guy who loves to surf, skateboard, play soccer, run, workout, and so on.   

Kyle:  Ice hockey?!? How exciting!  Tragic accident for such a young athlete though.  What kind of diet and exercise do you do to prepare for shoots?

Bentley:  I eat extremely clean, consisting of mostly raw vegetables and a lot of fish.  I also run everyday 5+miles to shred as much as I can. 

Kyle:  We have see you in briefs for some shoots.  On the personal side, looking at your underwear drawer, what is it made up of? % boxer briefs, % briefs, % jocks, % thongs.

Bentley:  Boxer briefs 30%, briefs 20%, workout wear 50%, thong 0% 

Kyle:  The craziest pair of underwear you have ever worn?

Bentley:  I haven’t worn anything too crazy yet in underwear 

Kyle:  Yet is the key word there!  You have already done nude shoots so revealing underwear wouldn’t be so difficult for you.  And the most embarrassing photo shoot situation?IMG_3902

Bentley:  Shooting with Kat Morgan definitely.  The nude shoot because it was a mixture of guys and girls in some of the pictures. 

Kyle:  When you are not clean eating for a shoot, what is your favorite cheat meal?

Bentley:  My fave cheat meal would be any kind of dips; cheese dip, crab dip.  I also love pizza, wings, and you know, anything fried!

Kyle:  There you go!  Finally, since you have done some nude shoots, what goes through your mind right before you have to do these revealing shoots?

Bentley:  I hope my mom, dad and grandmom don’t see them hahaha. But honestly, they understand what I have to do for some of the shoots and that’s the industry sometimes.  In the end, I just focus on the shoot and to do my best.

UNB Model Profile featuring Philip Fusco

Phil-Fusco-by-Gregg-Homme-Underwear-and-Swimwear-02

Well known male model and entrepreneur Philip Fusco sat down with Kyle at Underwear News Briefs to discuss how this successful model has mixed business and pleasure in his life with Philcity.  

UNBKyle:  What was your first modeling gig and how did you come to get it?

Philip:  My first modeling gig was for this company called absolute muscle. And I got it through MYSPACE actually lolphilip fusco picture

Kyle:  Myspace?!?! There is a blast from the past!  You would have made it in everyone’s top 8!  What made you want to pursue modeling?

Philip:  The main photographer for that company, Bill Terry kept hounding me until I eventually did it. He really was the one that pushed me.

Kyle:  Bill, if you are reading this, Thank you!  He clearly saw a talent in you.  Which shoot do you consider your breakthrough in your career?

Philip:  The shoot that broke me through my career was probably for my first magazine cover for men’s exercise shot by HANS F.

Kyle:  I am sure that you saw yourself on the cover and just thought “wow is this really happening?”  Which shoot has been your favorite? Why?

Philip:  I don’t have any one favorite but my favorite perks of a good shoot are tons of food and usually outside of my home state.

Kyle:  They probably tease you with the food and make you wait until after the shoot to indulge in the deliciousness!  Which shoot has been your most challenging? Why?

Philip:  I shot with Michael Thomas up in the woods in New Hampshire. I had to pose in the middle of a freezing lake, getting stung by a ton of mosquitoes and bugs.  I also encountered a snake I had to avoid.

Kyle:  NO!  A snake?  I would run!  What goes through your mind right before you have to do these revealing shoots?

Philip:  It is not as intimidating as one would think.  I just enjoy the shoot and have fun.


largeKyle:  You have to be comfortable and looks like you have a great attitude to make the most of any shoot situation.  With that, you know we want to know.  Most embarrassing photo shoot situation?

Philip:  I forgot to eat and got so hungry I started shaking.

Kyle:  And with that food you mentioned as a perk, it was probably torture.  Are there any brands or photographers you would like to work with that you have not worked with yet?

Philip:  I always wanted to do Calvin Klein.

Kyle:  I could see you on a big billboard.  What is something that your fans don’t know about you outside of modeling that you want them to know?

Philip:  I can be very goofy at times.  

Kyle:  What kind of diet and exercise do you do to prepare for shoots?

Philip:  Before the shot is taken, sometimes I will do push-ups. I am an avid almond eater during shoots though.

Kyle:  And when the shoot is done and you can have whatever you want…..Favorite cheat meal?

Philip:  MAC AND CHEESE!gregghommephilipfusco002

Kyle:  So we are an underwear site and you have worn a bunch for shoots so let’s see what your style is.  Looking at your underwear drawer, what is it made up of?  % boxer briefs, % briefs, % jocks, % thongs.

Philip:  50% briefs and 50% boxer briefs

Kyle:  And outside of the drawer, what is the craziest pair of underwear you have ever worn?

Philip:  Definitely by Gregg Homme. I think it was called the jewels or something.

 

 

 

 

Kyle:  Now I know that you have been working hard on your own brand, Philcity.  What can you share with us about this new endeavor of yours?

The review process for 2015 is starting for me and as I mentioned at the new year, my goal for 2015 is to try 15 new brands.  I start my 15 in 2015 with a pair of Cheap Undies.  Cheap Undies is a great website because they bring you exceptional underwear at unbelievable prices daily.  There is a new deal everyday at 12:00pm.  On top of all of the great brands they feature, they also develop their own line.  I decided to give the Bulge Brief a try from Cheap Undies.  I was first drawn to this pair by the design that they did on the brief, noting the bulge support as well as the design on the sides of the brief.  The brief has a great runner style to its design which is appealing to any man looking for a little thinner sides, going away from a trunk style.  I personally like smaller briefs so this is the type of style I go for.  After I opened the pair and slid them on, I immediately noticed how comfortable the material was.  It felt like the most comfortable t-shirt you would slide on to lay on the couch for a lazy “me” day.  Cheap Undies nailed it with this!

I wore the underwear throughout a busy day at work.  The pouch has a built in support system which allows you to place everything up and away from the body.  I like how more underwear companies are finding ways to lift the package and offer ways to dodge uncomfortable pouches.  Enhancement is always a good thing as well.  I felt 100% comfortable throughout the front of the underwear all day long.  Occasionally throughout the day I felt that the back of the underwear was riding up a little bit.  I found myself adjusting the back of the underwear a few times in the morning.  Luckily it was early on in my day and the afternoon felt comfortable all around the underwear.   When I got home, I looked at the back of the underwear and felt that the back piping was a little looser than some of my other underwear.  At the end of the day, I was much more comfortable than uncomfortable in this underwear!

I wear a medium and feel as though this brand is very true to its sizing.  The front of the underwear fit perfectly, with plenty of room, and I felt comfortable all day.  As I mentioned, I had a few issues in the back early on but I do not think that is a sizing issue.  In my opinion, the front of underwear matters more in comfort than the back.  When you wear a variety of underwear such as briefs, jocks, or thongs, you learn to expect many different fits in the back.  The front is where the most comfort and support is needed.  I would also not let that stop me from purchasing more Cheap Undies or wearing this pair again!  Thank you Cheap Undies for starting my 2015 reviews off on a positive note!  Let’s see what you have at 12:00pm tomorrow!
