KUALA LUMPUR — Sexy lingerie sets have reportedly become a hit among Malaysia’s ethnic Chinese, who buy them to offer to their dead relatives on the Qingming Festival this Friday.

To mark the day, Chinese traditionally tend the graves of their departed loved ones and often burn paper money, model houses, cars, mobile phones and other goods as offerings to honor them and keep them comfortable in the afterlife.

But paper lingerie has become an increasingly popular offering for dead female relatives, Tan Lay Nah, owner of a paper model shop in the northern island state of Penang, told the Star daily.

“Most customers find them cute and would usually add a few sets to go with other paper clothing and items such as dresses, bags and shoes for their female family members to use in the other world,” she said.

A matching set of floral underwear trimmed with gold-colored studs costs four ringgit ($1.25).

“They also come in more creative designs…sweet flowery prints and sophisticated monogram designs to cater to different tastes,” she said.

Malaysia’s Chinese will observe the Qingming Festival on April 4 where people will tend to the graves of their departed loved ones.

She said many of the popular designs had already been sold out ahead of Friday’s festival.

Since the U.S. always seems to be behind certain fashion trends, I have decided to open up my very own lingerie store for the dead only. You need to prove that you are buying for a deceased loved one by bringing in either a death certificate or a picture of the you at the grave. On a more serious note….. what the hell is wrong with these people? Seriously. I know it’s nice to visit a loved one, maybe bring some flowers and a flag or something like that, but to be burning cars and mobile phones??? So if you start see people in cemeteries torching cars, don’t worry, they are honoring their lost loved one….. really. And what does the above picture have to do with this article? Absolutely nothing.
