Protective parents, this is the technological breakthrough you’ve been waiting for: a bra with a Bluetooth device on the clasp that sends a tweet whenever a horny mook unhooks your daughter’s bra.

Amanté, a lingerie brand out of India, has a new campaign that's reminiscent of one for domestic violence. "Suffocation is the worst kind of abuse," the copy reads on the version above. The lingerie line's motto is "love yourself," the tagline for the ad campaign is "Break up with the wrong bra." Other headlines in the…
Apparently I missed a very exciting celebration earlier this week, and you likely did too: No bra day. The thought alone conjures up all sorts of images — was this a grand feminist statement rivaling the 1960s, did some college co-eds come up with this an excuse to walk around like Playboy models, and most importantly…
Good old unpredictable Kathy Griffin. There she was shooting the shit with her pal Anderson Cooper during his New Year's Eve coverage in Times Square, when suddenly she was down to just her bra and underwear. Though her behavior didn't seem to surprise Anderson in the least, it certainly did embarrass him.
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.

You probably heard that Kate Winslet managed to save her two children and Richard Branson's 90-year-old grandmother when a fire broke out on Branson's Caribbean island this summer.

Much unlike many a magazine editor who recommends you buy all sorts of crap that they most likely got for free, your Jezebel staff doesn't get jack shit (other than books, unsolicited). And that's how it should be. But on our own time, in our personal lives, we still buy stuff. So this is Worth It, our daily…
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.

At last! We finally have a bra designed to keep our breasts "in place" while we sleep. It's hard to believe that before today, women were forced to use all sorts of levers and pulleys to achieve this goal, but now there's a new bra that will finally spare us from the horrors of "cleavage wrinkles."
D.C.-based entrepreneur Rochelle Behrens has created "the Shirt," a button-down shirt that eliminates "blouse gape" by featuring stealth buttons placed between the other buttons. No more safety pins! No more embarrassing bra exposures! With Oprah on board, business is booming.
A curious thing about the Victoria's Secret commercials and fashion show: Despite the valiant efforts of everyone involved, the results are decidedly not sexy.

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…
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 …
