Thanks for this go to Franklin. Although once you read it, you will perhaps NOT thank Franklin for calling this to our attention. Whenever a craft project starts out with a used bra, you're in big trouble.
Oh Lord, another Breast Cancer Awareness piece o' crap (using the polite term here). I'll take the pink needles over this any day. And that's saying a lot ...
Today I was at my favorite thrift shop and I saw a purse that was shaped like a miniature bustier! I kid you not. I didn't have the camera with me and I sure as shit wasn't going to buy it, but I did a big double-take. Bright red. With little underwire cups sewn in. What is the world coming to?
Ted, I am perfectly content to fantasize about Franklin's undergarments (and let me assure you, in my fantasies he is more likely to be wearing a glistening coat of baby oil and some Calvin Kleins) but I feel no desire to hear about whether he, in fact, owns a man-ssiere.
P.S. Don't you love the part where it tells you that the bigger the cup, the more room you'll have in the "purse"?
Why was Franklin looking for projects using bras?
ReplyDeleteI mean, if he wasn't looking for them, how would he have found that in the first place?
I'm speechless.
ReplyDeleteTell me again how making a heinous bra-purse helps women with breast cancer?

ReplyDeleteCrafting and BCA have now reached a new level of WTF Dumb. I am (strangley) not surprised or moved. Am I now as jaded as Marilyn or Twisty ? Cripes!

ReplyDeleteSo that's why there's an upsurge in implant surgeries. Otherwise, how in hell are you going to fit your wallet in there, eh?

ah, reminds me of the dearly departed YKW website...
ReplyDeletenot that this monstrosity is knitted, mind you...
the lengths to which some people will go...
there MUST be a better way to fund breast cancer research...
(I feel like larry king tonight)
i think it'd make a great gag gift...
ReplyDeleteand when i make one, i'll know i really have too much time on my hands...
I was speechless, but snorted coffee when I read that you could use tassles to decorate your bra purse.
ReplyDeleteUmmm...just kinda shaking my head in wonder...What kind of a thought process led to that????
