I Believe I Can Fly

Tomorrow, we are launching a brand new Aimee short called I Believe I can Fly. We've been calling it Elephant here and when we were playing with names it made us thing of Dumbo. We felt that there was an uplifting message to be found there.

This is one of our real Limited Pants - we found two smallish rolls of fabric, just enough to make about 80 pairs of these. And as we've been looking at ways of making our Limited Edition Pants available fairly, we thought we'd try something new with this. Another Pants experiment!

Based on feedback from supporters (thanks Hattie!), we're giving ten of our Year of Pants members these - and they don't know who they are yet! They've been picked at random and will be getting their Pants shortly. So there are around 70 pairs left for you.

We're launching these at 9am UK time - 33 hours from when this blog goes live. There isn't a time that will work for everyone but as most of our supporters are in the UK we hope that this gives everyone fair notice. We've bolstered the website, too...

Tomorrow and through the weekend if there are any left, they will be at launch pricing - £13 instead of £18 - and we hope the lucky ones of you who get them love them.

Whose skin are we talking about anyway?

We've written before about our reluctance to use the words 'nude' or 'skin tone' or even 'flesh' coloured.

And it's *shudders* flesh *under* the skin? And therefore...
