Some people say farewell to their dearly departed with tears and flowers. Others, of course, give the deceased a sexy boost with some revealing lingerie.
Yes, sexy lingerie sets have reportedly become a hit among Malaysia’s ethnic Chinese, who are buying them for their dead relatives at the Qingming Festival this Friday.
To mark the day, Chinese traditionally tend the graves of their departed loved ones and often burn paper money, model houses, cars, cell phones and other goods as offerings to honor them and keep them comfortable in the afterlife.
However, paper lingerie has become an increasingly popular offering for dead female relatives. The owner of a paper model shop reveals:
“Most customers find them cute and would usually add a few sets to go with other paper clothing and items such as dresses, bags and shoes for their female family members to use in the other world.”
A matching set of floral underwear trimmed with gold-colored studs costs four ringgit ($1.25). The same would cost — and this is a conservative estimate — about 113 million times more in an American lingerie store.
All of which explains why Victoria’s Secret has launched their own line for the skeleton set:

I think that boycott is working–VS is in the toilet. The company is revamping everything. Their image has killed them–not to mention their prices.
