As many of you will know, I am something of a lingerie connoisseur who spends large amounts of time perusing Internet purveyors of lingerie. A trend that I could not help but notice was the fact that all over my favorite lingerie sites is splashed the reminder that mother’s day is May 9th. I quickly realized that this was not merely a helpful public service being provided by these purveyors of lingerie, rather it was an encouragement for me to purchase my mother some lingerie.
