YesButNotButYes has some photographs of National Underwear Day models flaunting, well, underwear and their stuff in Times Square. FreshPair is behind (ha!) the event and says that the models will be asking people to sign a petition for make National Underwear Day an official day: "National Underwear Day is the day when underwear becomes not just the first thing you put on and the last thing you take off, but the most important thing you wear all day."
