Those of you who are new to More Cowbell might have missed The Undie Chronicles.
The regular posse here knows: When the Undie-verse speaks, we will always listen. If you’re keeping track, this is Volume 16.
On the photo for this post, I thought about putting up the Camouflage Mini-Scrunch Panty, but decided a camouflage thong was kind of an oxymoron. You ain’t hiding anything, if you know what I mean…
We talked about disaster preparedness a few months back here at More Cowbell, and no one I know is more prepped for the apocalypse than my pal, Piper Bayard.
Her character in FIRELANDS, Archer, subsists on the fringes of a burned-out society, risking violation and death daily as she scours the forest for game to feed her people.
Piper did a post on Supervolcano Apocalypse Fashion but you know me…I’m all about the nitty-gritty.
I wanted to know: What’s that gal wearing under her leather? What exactly do “apocalyptic undies” look like??
Her answer is a pretty hilarious read…

Everyone knows when the world is crumbling to ash, your looks matter. I refuse to mention feminine products – we’ll leave that to Kristen Lamb (see Kristen’s post on Panty Prose).
Piper’s 10 Must-Have Items for your Apocalyptic Undie Go-Bag
1. Camouflage Undies: So you’ll be able to hide from zombies while you’re making like a bear in the woods.
2. Silk Farmer Johns: Silk because it makes you feel pretty, and Farmer Johns because they’re efficient for rapid biological function when you’re evading aliens.
3. A Bra Holster: For quick draw when the cannibals come to get you.
4. Wine Flask Bra: You’re going to need all of the attitude adjustment you can get.
5. Birth control: So you’ll be prepared when you meet someone who you want to suck on your “wine flask.”
6. Panty O’s: To facilitate Kegel Meditations, which will help you stay happy and relaxed and ready to share your wine flask.
7. Tic Tacs: Nothing can ruin a good wine flask sharing like bad breath.
8. Tina Turner’s chain mail stockings from Beyond Thunderdome: Just because they’re so damn cool…
9. A really good razor: Because Tina’s stockings will seriously hurt if you don’t shave “everything below the eyebrows.”
10. Chocolate: You really need me to explain that?
Thanks, Piper for that stellar “Go Bag” illumination. I don’t know about the rest of you, but in the event of a super-volcanic eruption, I’m making a beeline for Piper’s porch.

I really need to rethink the plethora of pink my go bag. There must be pink camouflage though, right? 😉 At least I’m good-to-go with my wine flask bra, which pairs well with my wine purse. And because I’m all about minimalism, I’ll make sure my wine holders are filled with chocolate wine. 😀
