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.

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?

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.

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.
