Yes, today is the birthday of the BRA!
Invented today in 1889 to replace the Corset.

Well, I try to never miss a good revealing if possible.
And quit frankly, don't remember a bad revealing.

Terri, the truth is they weren't really popular when invented, and took several years to catch on, and that was with it's name change from bra to the fancier sounding brassiere, but when you consider the alternative of the time, and the uncomfortable factor of the corset, the bra won out in the area of comfort, and ease of installing and removing, and was quit revolutionary at the time.

I've always wondered after the famous bra burning's of the 60's, ( which I admit, I sure did a lot of cheer-leading at) why women started wearing them again. I could never understand why women continue to submit to fashion self-torture.

LOL! Given some of the mails we've shared I'd say you always enjoy a good revealing!

Let me guess who this one is......
Peace of mind, and serenity from a simple hide user button.
More peace and serenity happens with the delete user button.

This is not a current event. Please stop posting this over and over. Moderators and hosts on this site have the power to determine if a topic descends into the more contentious "current event" or "political rants" that are banned here. Your topics were both.

Move on.
