"I found it uncomfortable and ridiculous. Believe me, he ( Howard Hughes ) could design planes, but a Mr. Playtex, he wasn’t.”
Jane Russell
When Howard Hughes was making The Outlaw, a film about Billy the Kid, Doc Holliday, and Pat Garrett, he decided Ms. Russell's breasts would be the star of the show. The movie was a massive hit as was Jane Russell.
Designers seem to love creating new bras. Consider this: A Pocket Bra. Since getting out your keys, spare change, credit cards, etc. is a trifle awkward, a pocket bra does eliminate the need for pockets or a purse. Lumpy but effective.
Ta da! Keep your hands free too with the wine bra. The idea is to fill the bra cups with wine and drink from the attached tubes. However, this bra does have two issues: You can see the tubes as they creep out of your neckline, and they drain one cup at a time, leaving a lopsided look.
Then there is the Fishbowl Bra. It's known as a "super-cool" design because its "gel material on the padding helps keep the wearer cool during extreme weather conditions."
The Concealed Carry Convertible Sports Bra (right hand draw only) has an interchangeable strap to customize the fit, and a concealed-carry holster which also has a zipper-close security pocket suitable for cash, credit cards, a passport plus a cell phone.
And finally, as promised in a previous blog, lingerie maker Triumph International Japan which "has regularly designed bras aimed at drawing attention to social issues (and to raise its own profile). . . unveiled three interesting concept bras: one that can be heated in a microwave so as to help save on indoor heating costs during cold water: two, the "Bra Rangers" — named in a nod to the television characters that morph into superheroes and [which] comes with matching underwear whose pocket has the inscribed message, "No more plastic bags!" and a bra-turned-bag [which] is made of polyester fiber created" from recycled plastic bottles. The cup padding pulls out and converts into a shopping bag, and the bra straps can be tied onto the bag as.
Right now, cleavage seems to be out, replaced by showing breasts' side tissue. And as for Jane Russell, she threw Hughes's design across her dressing trailer saying it was ridiculous. "I just padded my own bra with tissues and Hughes was none the wiser."
What a clever post. Enjoyed the imaginative bras.
ReplyDeleteAhaha who knew! Thanks for sharing, Karla :)
ReplyDeleteI just wish regular bras were more comfortable. Bring back stays! But don't lace them too tight... :)
