Happy Hump Day - One & All
Wednesdays -- always a good day to celebrate. Let's see what's on the celebration calendar for this Hump Day. Ut oh. Today is Headache Day - a day celebrated during the feast of the patron saint of headache sufferers. Hmmm - that's a good cause but let's do something totally wild and wacky. Let's celebrate a day we missed - a very important day - a day to celebrate the garment that men and women alike can't wait to take off ... November 2nd was BRA DAY! With Halloween being celebrated just couple of days before we totally missed Bra Day.
According to an inventive history of the undergarment that is now widely believed, Titzling came to invent the item while living in a New York boardinghouse in 1912. One of his neighbors was a buxom opera singer named Swanhilda Olafson, and the structural engineering problems she presented inspired Titzling to create a contraption to uphold this lady's ample bosom. In the early 1930s, a French fellow named Phillip de Brassiere began producing a similar undergarment. Titzling sued, but Brassiere won in court, and that is why today we call a lady's frontal uplifter a brassiere instead of a titzling. There is absolutely no evidence to support this urban myth. *titter* (all puns intended - lol)
Let's have some fun -- let's warm up by fabricating our own factoids about the bra. First, tell us some of the crazy things you've heard a bra called such as a double slingshot. Second, tell us what other things a bra might be useful for. Example: a double winter cap for couple. Or the wire in the underwire bra can be used to pick a lock. Get the idea?
I have heard bras called many different things. Double barrelled slingshots, over the shoulder boulder holders, booby traps, and tit slings, to name a few. I prefer to call them medieval torture devices, because that is what I believe that they really are!
Bras are very useful things to toss at The Moody Blues. Go ahead and try it. The Music Whore and I have!
It's great fun. John really enjoys it!
Some day Lady Starlight hopes to be able to toss her bra at Matthias Jabs in the hope that his face will look something like this!
