Going ape for monkey undies
January 14, 2004 - 2:16PM
Red and pink underpants emblazoned with monkey images are the rage in
Singapore for the Chinese New Year, shop owners said.
More than 1,000 pairs of panties with cheerful primate faces have been
snapped up since late December in the hope of an auspicious Year of the
Monkey starting January 22.
"According to Chinese belief, wearing red underwear, especially in the Year
of the Monkey, will bring you luck because some monkeys have red butts,"
Jeanette Chong of ButtOn Trendy Undies told The Straits Times.
The designs also include the Chinese words for "luck" and "prosperity".
The top price is 12.88 Singapore dollars ($A9.75).
