Ok, believe it or not there is more underwear in the news this month. This one is pretty amazing:
BERCHTESGADEN, Germany, June 23 (UPI) – An American woman was rescued from a mountain in Germany after she used her size DD bra to get the attention of nearby loggers, officials said.
The 24-year-old Colorado woman had been missing for three days before a helicopter crew spotted her colorful sports bra, the Daily Mail reported Monday.
The woman said she attached the bra to a cable used for moving logs down the mountain.
I mean no disrespect to this woman or her rescuers but this report begs the following question. However indelicate, and certainly not politically correct, do you think if she were just a B that she still would have been saved? Was the size of the cup a motivator for the rescuers? (“Hey guys, there is a woman with huge boobs up there with no bra on, let’s go find her!”) If not, why did they bother to report the cup size? Kind of absurd, no?
I heard this on a promo for the 11:00PM news so I googled it and you would never believe this but I found ANOTHER story about life saving bras:
May 17,2006 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – A 44-year-old woman escaped serious injury from a gunshot Sunday thanks to her seat belt and a thick bra strap, authorities said.
That must have been one hell of a bra strap!
Wait, did I miss something? Is this National Foundation Garment week?

This stresses me out, as my bras are small and not substantial. I guess I’m going to have to stay away from mountain climbing and guns.
no worries, wendy. i am sure your survival skills are great no matter what size bras you were.
I’m wondering why MaidenForm isn’t seizing these stories for their next campaign. Copy line: Defy Gravity.
great line Liz. ahhh, maidenform. that was my first job out of college. designing bra tags! very uplifting. ; )
