Remember that episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 when Brenda spilled everyone’s dirty little secrets to a seemingly legit reporter, only to have the network big-wigs turn her tales into a trashy tell-all?

In that same episode, Donna borrowed the anagram Steve had learned in his SAT cram course to totally ‘diss Brenda by coaxing everyone to “Scan, Discard, Select, and Move On” when Brenda - the poor, wounded bird - tried to explain.

Even though I’ve had to adopt this method myself when wading through the hundreds of potential directory members as editor of the Indie Collective, one Canadian shop put me in MY place with one little word – STALLION!

The Candi Factory’s cutesy-quaint underpants are undeniably adorable, with their two-toned hues, hand-sewn appliqués and felicitously named designs.  But it is their men’s briefs that got me all hot & bothered.

The equine-emblazoned microfibre Stallion boxer briefs made me hee-haw out loud, and their equally precocious Pirate Ship briefs are a bountiful blessing for all those guys out there who are hard pressed to find cool indie finds specifically geared toward the fashionable man-about-town.

The Candi Factory confectionary is located in Toronto’s King West, a mere stone’s throw from my house, meaning I can pop in, slow down, and spend some time picking out a gift for both myself and my beau at the same time. You’re jealous now, aren’t you?! Don’t hate!
