You Can Have Underwear Models Deliver Alcohol & Undies To Your House
As technology advances, we find ourselves in a brave new world. We put a man on the moon, we have a video-sharing platform where we can upload ourselves saying that putting a man on the moon was actually a giant conspiracy, and we no longer have to leave the house for food, booze or weed. You can even GPS track a pizza's trajectory from the oven to your front door using your phone. And starting on Friday, for one blessed week only, you have the chance to get alcohol and underwear delivered to you by a real, live skivvies model wearing only their underwear. This could be awkward for your neighbors, but hopefully they'll understand.
MeUndies bills themselves as having the "world's most comfortable underwear." Saucey delivers alcohol via their app, matching a delivery driver to a store near you who brings your boozy selections straight to your door.
This upcoming week's partnership allows customers to order a 'Sleepover Pack' via the Saucy app, L.A. Times reports. Ranging from $40 to $100 depending on the number of people involved, you'll get a handy overnight kit delivered within 20 minutes or so. It will contain a pair of MeUndies underwear, socks, a T-shirt, sunglasses, alcohol, mixers and a vitamin pack from Drinkwel that supposedly fights off a hangover.
Perusing the Saucey catalogue reveals a fair amount of options. Beer (domestics, imports and some craft), mid- to top-shelf liquors, cordials, sodas, ice, cups and wines. You can also order cigarettes and, if you're feeling celebratory, a cigar.

Delivery service with models runs from 4 to 9 p.m., but the standard alcohol delivery goes until last call—1:45 a.m.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
