Today’s Brief Distraction is from Bon Bon Bodywear. Its not one we have featured. You can see the entire line at Wear it Out! Sorry for the delay today I was out late celebrating my pending birthday so today will have two updates!
Designer Andrew Christian Releases Two Limited Edition Holiday Underwear Styles on Black Friday…each for only $24.99
A few lucky people this holiday season will receive Limited Edition underwear from the Andrew Christian’s Design Studio in Los Angeles. Each holiday season Designer Andrew Christian creates a few hundred Limited Edition Underwear that are only available online or at one of the new Andrew Christian Boutiques in Los Angeles.
This season Andrew Christian is introducing two very different styles, the “Christmas 2010 Brief,” a fun playful brief that features traditional red, white and green holiday colors; and the “Holiday Noir 2010 Brief,” a more formal design featuring a hand-sewn silver colored metal charm on an all black body with contrasting stitching.
Both designs come in a see-through holiday tin can and a hand written holiday card from the designer himself to create the perfect gifting item. Gift wrapping is available as an additional option online and is free, upon request, at the boutiques.
R9245 Christmas 2010 Brief
Only 332 of the Christmas 2010 brief were produced!
The Christmas 2010 Brief features fun holiday colors and comes in a cute holiday gift tin along with a hand-signed card from Designer Andrew Christian. This brief is made from a soft cotton and spandex fiber blend for great stretch and recovery. This blended fabric keeps the underwear tight against your skin and helps eliminate drooping and sagging in the front and back. When you pull them on you will immediately notice the quality of the fabric and how much better it feels against your skin than regular cotton. The underwear also features multi-depth woven elastic with the Andrew Christian logo. This is a Limited Edition style and only around 332 were made…so when they are gone…they are gone forever.
R9244 Holiday Noir 2010 Brief
Holiday Noir 2010 Brief – Only 283 of the Holiday Noir Brief were produced!
The Holiday Noir Brief features a silver colored metal charm and comes in a holiday gift tin along with a hand-signed card from designer Andrew Christian. This brief is made from the softest fiber in our collection so it not only looks sophisticated, but is also super comfortable. When you pull them on you will immediately notice how much softer the bamboo fiber is against your skin than regular cotton. The underwear also features multi-depth woven elastic with the Andrew Christian logo. This is a Limited Edition style and only around 283 will ever be sold.
The Limited Edition Holiday underwear are only available at www.AndrewChristian.com and these locations:

Brand new on Jockstrap Central! JM is synonymous with quality and comfort creating jockstraps you’ll be happy wearing all day and night – and their latest Skinz jockstraps are no exception.
Sure JM may be tooting their own horn by describing these new jocks as “The ultimate in body-defining stretch and style – like a second skin” – but they can be forgiven as it’s the truth.
Here’s the details: The pouch is made of a microfibre and spandex blend that’s soft and silky, extremely lightweight and highly breathable, plus the hint of spandex means it has excellent shape retention even after frequent washings.
Finally, a 1.5 inch super plushed comfort waistband and matching 1 inch leg straps keep everything in place. Jockstrap Central has got them in three fabulous designer colors – charcoal, indigo and our personal favorite olive.”
The Brief Distraction for today is the UnderGear N Haven ® Retro Bikini. Its a retro look for a new line of undies. We hope you enjoy some of the new undies from UnderGear we are featuring

Finally an amazing men’s shoe and “fashion sport” boutique in the heart of West Hollywood.
After a hugely successful opening of the Flagship Boutique, Andrew Christian just opened another addition to his line of amazing boutiques with Andrew Christian Sport, just feet away from his Flagship Boutique. The Sport Boutique has an amazing indoor/outdoor space and an ultra modern look and feel with museum white wave walls that dominate the space.
Another difference of the Sport Boutique is the staff and product mix. The store has a huge selection of hard-to-find super cool shoes, at 
reasonable prices, and a wide selection of sporty t-shirts, workout pants, underwear, tanks, and swimwear that are perfect for the gym. The staff are dressed head-to-toe the latest Andrew Christian gym wear so if you need assistance in putting together your gym outfits, you can just say…”I want that one.” and be on your way.
The quality of the products are unmatched by any other company, the fabrics are soft and comfortable and the stitching and design fit your form perfectly…no wonder the Andrew Christian Boutique was featured in Los Angeles Magazine as one of the Best New Shops in L.A.

As you know we love underwear photography. Our Brief Distractions are proof of that, and now there is a book Just for underwear. The book is called Brief Encounters, which is filled with underwear inspired art. It’s one of the few books I’ve seen just for underwear. I ordered the book and look forward to getting it. One photographer we have profiled is in the book, Karim Konrad!
Here is some information about the book we got from the publisher!
Good packaging is half the battle … Well, that’s actually not a real saying, but it should be, when it comes to the most important part of the male body: Whoever dares to present himself in worn‐out underwear, is believed to be stuck in the 80ies. Back then those things were called panties and were mostly sold in fine rib with a fly. They weren’t promoted in ads, naturally, since everybody needed them anyway. Today nobody is surprised in the least, when David Beckham shows his adorable body on a 20 ft. high poster on Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles—dressed only in small briefs. Things have changed: It all began in the mid 90ies when Calvin Klein caused a real hype with his sexy advertising campaigns. Since then every designer who wants to be taken seriously has a line of lingerie; we don’t wear panties anymore, we wear briefs; they are “lifestyle” and an expression of our unique personality. Whether it’s the deliberately casual sex‐appeal of aussieBum or the colorful designs of Diesel printed with witty slogans; whether C‐IN2 modernizes the classic designs in a subtle way or XTG catches our attention with flashy colors and patterns—every label has its own special style.
Fashion editor Jason Salzenstein has gathered the best known brands and introduces them with short but informing texts; long disquisitions would be redundant, since the spectacular images of the advertising campaigns speak a clear language. If you are a fan of briefs already, you shouldn’t wait to get your copy of BRIEF ENCOUNTERS. But of course this book has plenty to offer for everybody else as well: Of course designers have long ago realized that gay men are a grateful target group—and they allure us with perfectly trained top models and fantastic campaigns. Well, not everything was better in former times.
You can order it from Amazon now!

Following in the footsteps of Activeman’s best selling Lycra Contour jock is their brand new Cotton Contour Jock offered exclusively on Jockstrap Central. Activeman designed this jock based on their suggestions – and the result was a comfortable ergonomic jockstrap that you’re going to want to wear day and night.
These fashion jockstraps all have white ultra-soft brushed cotton pouches with a hint of spandex for stretch and fit that’s contoured to comfortably hold your family jewels while still giving them lift and support.
Another subtle but welcome feature is Activeman’s unique solution on preventing twisted leg straps (one of Jockstrap Central’s pet peeves) that not only works, but helps provide an even better fit. Finally, a 2 inch plushed elastic waistband and matching 1 inch leg straps finish off this incredible jock.
These new jocks come in three delicious flavors – grey with white, black with white and solid white and you can get them now at Jockstrap Central.”

I got a whole bunch of Undergear.com undies
I got to meet with Undergear.com back in Aug while in Vegas. I am expecting some really great things from them. They are stepping up quality, have a great designer, and redoing the holiday catalog (as we have seen)! UnderGear is taking underwear seriously.
The pair I got to review was the Body Tech ® Solid Brief which is a mix of a brief and a boxer brief. The first thing I noticed was the covered waistband. I am typically not a fan of because I don’t think they fit as well as most. But, again, I was surprised. The waist band fit pretty well.
The Solid Pair, in general, really impressed me. I liked the fit and the pouch it created. More often then not, boxer briefs really don’t fit me well and bunch up and don’t have support in the pouch. These did and I was glad they did. I would suggest checking them out.
