For Sale: 100-Year-Old Crotchless Knickers (Just $9,000… Cheap)

List this under queer, but not gay…
Queen Victoria’s a pretty groovy chick, for a dead monarch. She became Queen of England at 18, married her cousin, Prince Albert (genital piercing, anyone?), and had men repeatedly try to shoot their loads onto her and accost her with sticks. Apparently, she also had a taste for crotchless underwear (as was the style in 1890).
Queeny’s 50-inch waist bloomers (she was 5 feet tall) sold for $9,000 to a Canadian this Wednesday. The 1890 pair of handmade knickers have the queen’s monogram on them&mdash “VR” or Victoria Regina&mdash and an open-crotch style with separate legs joined by a drawstring at the waist. They belonged to a family in western England whose ancestor was a lady-in-waiting for the queen.
Why anyone would pay $9000 for an old queen’s knickers is beyond us. We know some old queens who’d give theirs up for free.
