Thou Shalt Covet: underwear from Artificial Flavor

If there is one thing gay men obsess over, it's underwear. You just never know when you're going to get the opportunity to show it off and God knows you want to look good if and when it happens. We've all got the community favorites -- Calvin, 2(x)ist, Aussie Bum -- but these slick little numbers from Artificial Flavor recently caught our eye and we're eager to add them to our well-organized drawer of daily contenders.

Dark colors are always sexy, but the retro stripe of color across the top of the crotch is especially cute and even a little innocently suggestive. Plus they're constructed from 100 percent cotton, so your nether region won't have to suffer to look sexy. If you like the undies, note that Artificial Flavor -- which began as an intimate apparel company -- soon will be introducing a full men's line of relaxed sportswear featuring hoodies, cardigans and pants. Wearing next to nothing has never looked or felt so good!

Artifical Flavor is available at Neiman Marcus, Saks 5th Avenue and Urban Outfitters, and also online at www.aflavor. com
