Ladies, What if Your Panties Could Change the World?

Ladies, correct me if I’m wrong but some of the reasons you wear lingerie are to feel confident about yourself, to show off your assets and to please the insatiable desire of your partner, right?

But what if one of the reasons you wore lingerie was to help starving children in Africa? How sexy would that be? Well, one woman, University of Texas graduate Tara Smith thinks it would be very sexy so she set out to launch a line of lingerie that will donate 100 percent of its profits to the antipoverty cause.

To get things off the ground, Smith, who spent two years as a Peace Corp volunteer, has placed a video on startup funding site Indiegogo with the intention of raising $15,000 to fund the operation. If the funds are raised by August 31, Smith will begin production and shoot for completion in time for holiday season shopping.

Smith’s company will be known as Cherie Amie and will have operations in Cameroon.

The video promoting the intended launch was shot in Dallas and can be viewed below.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
