Swedish Lingerie Chain Invites Employees To Advertise Their Bra Size

Cassie Murdoch — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 12:05:00 EST

A Swedish lingerie chain called Change has landed itself in some serious hot water for suggesting—or requiring, depending on whom you ask—that its saleswomen display their bra cup sizes on their name tags. The company claims that this practice was "designed to help customers see what size might be right for what body type." That makes almost no sense!

These are the things we buy regularly or really like, things we'd actually tell our friends about. And now we're telling you. More »

School Official Pretends To Remove Woman's Bra During Meeting

Margaret Hartmann — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 22:43:00 EDT

A school committee chairman in Abington, Massachusetts — let's just call him Michael Scott — likes to open meetings with a magic trick, but now he's in trouble for a mildly risqué prank. Without consulting them beforehand, he had school committee member Ellen Killian and teacher Steven Shannon participate in trick that made it look like Killian's bra had been removed with the pull of a handkerchief. The committee chairman has apologized, and luckily the trick was only seen by about a dozen people who were at the meeting ... and whoever was watching the broadcast on cable TV (i.e. no one).

Cleavage At Work: Yay Or Nay?

Dodai Stewart — Thu, 08 May 2008 13:30:00 EDT

Can we talk about cleavage? Specifically in a work-related context? A piece by Christina Brinkley in today's Wall Street Journal has a quote from Gail Graham, executive vice president of marketing for Fidelity Investments, who recounts how respected co-worker showed up at a business dinner in a "practically" backless dress that showed cleavage. Male colleagues were talking about it days later. Graham states: "It became the story about her. You want the story to be about you and your accomplishments. There's no greater crime [for a businesswoman] than to show cleavage." Surely Angela Merkel would disagree! But seriously: Is it possible to maintain an air of professionalism and earn respect at work when your boobs are on display? More »

There's a new strapless bra called Faveo...

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 18:45:00 EDT

There's a new strapless bra called Faveo Freedom and it's probably the most retarded undergarment we've ever seen in our entire lives. The fucked up thing about it is that it was actually invented by a woman looking for an alternative to a typical bra. Honestly, we don't even know how this helps with support at all. We imagine it would cut off circulation, thus giving new meaning to "purple nurple." (Click on tag for larger image.) [Faveo Freedom via Dlisted] More »
