more on bras.....

ok, so this from salon.com......Hong Kong's Polytechnic University has a new degree..... in "bra studies." What work awaits China's underwear engineers? According to the AP, Top Form, China's biggest lingerie manufacturer, employs a crack team of bra-smiths who push the cutting edge of tit-padding technology. The Wall Street Journal reports that in their quest to "give busts a boost," Top Form has tried pumping pads with air -- but met disappointment when the bras deflated like old balloons. Then the company's oil-filled pads proved prohibitively expensive and bulky. Now they're betting on fiberfill, a fluffy insulating material usually used in ski clothes -- and not something you'd normally find in Victoria's Secret products.

Back in the U.S., a woman has been accused of using bra padding not to enhance her décolletage, but to commit a crime. The AP reports that Jill Knispel, a 35-year-old from Florida, was arrested after stuffing her bra with a stolen parrot she hoped to trade for a 1964 vintage Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. "The circumstances of [this] case are the most bizarre I've ever encountered," veteran wildlife investigator Lenny Barshinger told reporters. Funny, sounds like a classic case of grand-theft Audubon to us. ......'i have had a long frustrating day......the notion of a woman traveling with a parrot in her bra has raised my spirits......
