Contest #30: Knickergate
Remember when you were a kid and you wanted to be an underwear designer?
You: Mom, can I be an underwear designer when I grow up?
Your Mom: No, sorry, only the children of the extremely wealthy and powerful can be underwear designers.
Well, no offense, but your Mom was wrong. For Contest #30, an underwear designer is exactly what you’re going to get to be.
The challenge this week is to design some underwear based around the theme of American Presidents. The two types of underwear for which you can design are boxers and thongs. You can simply describe the underwear, upload images of it (images must include only non-copyrighted art), or a combination. When we say “around the theme of American Presidents”, we mean the undies could have Presidential quotes, images, involve iconic objects (like the Oval Office), etc.; this is probably the most open design contest we’ve had. Just take the theme and design some awesome underwear.
Standard contest timeline and contest rules apply this week. By leaving an entry you are agreeing to those rules. The entry voted the favorite by MM users will earn its author their choice of a $40 Amazon.com gift certificate OR a $80 gift certificate to the MM Online Store.

Ask not what your count(ry) can do for you, ask what you can do for your count(ry).
It might be nice to divide the phrase and further enhance the “set” quality of the garments.
