Musician/Artist Unveils Apparel to Express Gratitude for Temporary Hook-Ups; For Sale Online.

"Happy Anniversary." "Sorry I missed your birthday." "You're the world's best dad."

Consumer culture offers us myriad ways to deliver all kinds of personal messages – whether printed on cards, frosted onto cakes, emblazoned on coffee mugs or written in the sky by airplane. But what on earth can we purchase to express our gratitude for a night of anonymous, commitment-free pleasure?

Never fear; capitalism is riding to the rescue once again, this time in the form of shirts, hats and other items bearing the slogan "THANK YOU FOR YOUR SEX."

Created by alt-pop musician/cultural provocateuse Lena and available at ThankYouForYourSex.com and CafePress.com/lenashop, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SEX apparel is the perfect way to say, "I appreciate the fact that you shared your body with me, although there's no need whatsoever for it to happen again."

With a stylish graphic trumpeting its message, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SEX attire is the perfect gift for that random hook-up, drunken one-night stand, bridesmaid's wedding-weekend mistake or friend who became a lover and probably shouldn't have. But it's just as suitable for one's partner in a night of fabulously guilt-free fornication. The important thing is: It's polite to say thank you.

The Russian-born Potapova (now a fixture on New York's music and culture scene) launched the THANK YOU FOR YOUR SEX line and simultaneously celebrated the release of her new identically named EP (out now on Fa Records), at New York's Knitting Factory in May of 2008. And speaking of temporary love, those shirts would make a perfect V-day gift!
