The collection was named for tech pioneer, Ada Lovelace and it features real women in tech.\u00a0I absolutely loved the pictures. Some people love them, and others believe that the pictures are sexist and set women back several years back.

I thought, my God, my God, where was I when they picked the tech women to pose in their underwears? Why wasn&#8217;t I chosen? Is it yansh (booty) they want? I have it. Is it someone who is all too happy to pose in an underwear? That&#8217;s me. And women in tech? I am one in more ways than you know. Still, that&#8217;s not what pained me most.<\/p>\n<p>The part that is giving me sleepless nights is how many underwears they have that are called Vera.

No, seriously, they have an entire collection called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dearkates.com\/pages\/lookbook-the-vera-collection\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Vera Collection<\/strong><\/a>. Yet, this photoshoot has happened without me. How did this happen? Why am I paying someone to be my manager if they can&#8217;t get me deals and opportunities like this one? Oh, wait, I don&#8217;t have a manager. Still, what does a Vera have to do to wear a Vera underwear? What better way to enter the fashion industry than with no pants while blogging &#8212; which by the way is how I usually blog anyway. Like right now.<\/p>\n<p>Dear Kate, I am not ashamed to ask.
