Playboy unveils men's underwear range

LOS ANGELES, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Seeking new worlds to conquer, Playboy Enterprises Inc. (NYSE:PLA - news) on Thursday launched a line of men's underwear and loungewear, ranging from silk pajamas like the kind Hef wears to glow in the dark shorts ``so you never lose your boyfriend when the lights are out.''

Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner, possibly the most famous pajama wearer in the world, was on hand to unveil the range of boxers, briefs, robes and sleepwear in fabrics ranging from sensible cotton to shiny lame.

The range is designed to appeal to men (and their women) aged between 15 and 60, and runs the gamut of basic plain underwear to novelty items, geometric prints and lips and hearts designs -- all bearing the famous bunny logo.

``In today's world, after Sept. 11, people want something that brings a smile to their face,'' said marketing director Ian Miller, referring to the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

``Some of the items glow in the dark so you'll never lose your boyfriend when the lights go out,'' Miller said.

The Playboy line will be available in Bloomingdale's stores throughout the United States and joins other Playboy retail products such as swimwear, footwear, jewelry and small leather goods.

Bloomingdale's is owned by Federated Department Stores Inc.

How about glow-in-the-dark porcelain so we'll know when the seat has been left up?

Not the pictures you want, I'm sure.

Why don't women just assume the seat is up, or turn on the light?

Barefoot, when I'm stumbling around at three am, I am slightly less intelligent than a bannana slug. I can't *find* the bathroom switch, let alone figure out whether the seat is up or down.

I solved this problem by putting in an extra toilet in the laundry room, which is the same distance from the bed as the toilet in the bathroom. Guys use the laundry room toilet -- one of my few house rules. I haven't had a wet bottom since.

My "X" Mother-in-law (Thank goodness that's history!) installed a peculiar device on her toilet seats. It was a 'musical' device that played an annoying little song ("How dry I am"? I blessedly can not remember) whenever the toilet seat was left in the "UP" position for more than 2 or 3 minutes.

Glow in the dark condoms are a lot more fun... trying to remember the name of the movie (comedy of course) where two guys sneak into this bedroom from opposite doors, one wearing a red one, another wearing a blue one... hilarious watching as they spotted each other and then started fighting....

We have separate bathrooms. But Sweetie is a seat-putter-downer anyway. I sometimes forget and leave up the seat after I've done a cleaning job. Aaargh! I always find out in the middle of the night. I do have a nightlight in the bathroom (they're all over the house to help prevent falling over no-fear-of-crushing-death sleeping cats), but I just don't remember the damn thing is up.

I couldn't stand the music. Did her husband kill her?

Unfortunately, no.
