Sisterhood of the Traveling Bra

Women
Chalk this up under, “stuff dudes would never do.” (Or Ang. Or Alie.)
An Australian woman blogger is sending a bra on an international tour where other women can take a picture of themselves wearing the bra, adding the photo to an online map, then mailing on to someone else.

Ish…

Okay. There are a lot of disgusting things I will do, some of them for money, but this is something I cannot support. (huh huh, get it? support? hoo boy)
Seriously. Gross.

Is this really just some guy who wants to get pictures of women in bras?

I was ‘moved’ enough to wonder that too Gabe, so I clicked the link, and found the original ‘photo’ is actually more of a sketch of a woman, and the bra is actually worn on the outside of her outfit (even in a sketch!)
So, as far as provocative statements go…it is pretty child-safe, which at some point, makes it pretty ho-hum. I mean, I suppose it is still ‘one for the sisterhood’ and at least does not break all rules of sensible hygiene, but ends up far enough on the milquetoast side of edginess as to be more a tease rather than a statement.
But, on the positive side, at least it is not mini-porn.

Alright, Ed, The Other Mike, Gabe, Kirk, Nathan, and you other lads: keep an eye on your mailbox. I’m sending one of you guys a nasty old, tight-fitting red t-shirt with honey stains.
What I want you to do is take a picture of you it “Pooh style” and send the pics too me, mail the shirt to another blogger and we’ll have our own “traveling bra’ show.”
Or maybe this is a bad idea.

Hmm, how about a little YouTube-ish video of me lifting this shirt out of the package with a stick, dipping it into a bonfire, and dancing around it until I fall down?
I’m thinking it is a traffic generating machine, viral even! It will become a Wiccan power ceremony or such, right?

It’s bad enough trying a bra on in the first place. I’m not going to put the girls in a bra that so many other people have handled! Over the clothes is not so bad, though. Still, eesh.
