Re: The Secret History of Bras....

It was a really interesting show... The amount of time and people involved in designing one new bra was just hard to believe.. 15 people and 7 departments over 6 months to design a new one... And I was wondering how old being a bra cup model would be .... Might be fun for a while.... but then again being the perfect 34B would me nice.. Lol

I need to send Victoria Secret my resume!!

Re: The Secret History of Bras....

i love lingerie ! although each time i see an old pic with a woman wearing a bra, i can't help but go eek! and wonder how they could breathe.

When I ws in the 7th grade we had to do a 15 minute informative speech, and I did mine on the history of the brassiere, and brought in lingerie catalogs and my mom's bras as visual aides.

And all this time, I thought the movie Beaches explained it all when Bette Midler sang that song "Otto Titsling"

I love that, Jen... Show and tell would never be the same... I should have thought of something like that instead of rocket ships or submarines!!
