Pervs, rejoice!

We all have our own fetishes. Some people like feet, S&M or Brokeback Mountain role-play where you set up a tent in your lawn and rent some cowboy outfits, which by the way got some strange looks from the shop owner when you keep saying "I wish I could quit you" in front of the mirror (you don't? hmm). But the more enterprising of us them can make nice money out of it too. No, not by becoming a professional dominatrix.

Meet one Jerad Solomon, whose fingers got tired of the cold, hard surface of the number crunchers and decided that they should be treated to a more luxurious, sensuous sensation that is the lingerie. Although it has only been six months since he started the business, he seems like a seasoned veteran when he describes the intimates as "pretty, silky and soft".

Surprisingly, his customers are made up of equal numbers of both sexes. We were expecting the customer base to be more skewed towards the balding, middle-aged men demographic. Oh, we forgot the closeted cross-dressers. Now everything makes sense.

What gave him the idea to start a lingerie business? While "looking up business opportunities" on the Internet, of course. Well, when we surf for sexy lingeries on the interwebs, we don't exactly call it that. We just call it surfing pr0n.
