From Corsets to Bacon:A Breastacular History of the Bra
"Considering how many different roles the bra has played throughout history, I think we need to hold a BrOscars ceremony and give it a Best Supporting Backtress Award. Adapting and evolving to suit the ever-changing views of women, their bodies, their sexual and social status, the bra has been at times friend, other times foe. It has been there to support, lift and flaunt. It has also been there to hide, constrict and restrain. Bras have been rejoiced; they've been revolted against They have even been constructed out of bacon!
"Here's a history lesson you probably weren't taught in school but surely would have signed up for if it was being offered.

This is actually a very interesting article.
Actually, surprised that bras were invented only what, a hundred and fifty years or so ago? I would have thought they would have been around for a long, long time.
Terry,
The bra was to liberate woman from thecorsets. Up till that point, woman where still being tied and bound to get not just a lifted bosom, but also a tiny waist.
Got it, just thought it would have been earlier!
No.. woman were always into torturing themselves to look good!
Now they put waterballoonsinto their boobs. Really, how much has changed?
The funny thing is that most men aren't into such bizarre things, though some, of course are.
I have often wondered why this is so, women acting in this way.
Maybe you should research it, write an article. Seems to me it should be the other way, given that women actually bear the kids!
Isn't it about time we liberate women's breasts from their confines and give them the same rights as men to go topless ?
