Soy is in the clear


I don't know if you remember but a few weeks ago I blogged about recent studies linking soy to Breast Cancer. In yesterday's Miami Herald, dietitian and Univ. Of Miami faculty member Shea Rarback brings this topic to light.

The article states that "two symposiums addressed the use of soy protein in preventing the reoccurrence of breast cancer. A five-year data analysis of breast cancer survivors associated soy intake with a better outcome, and the National Cancer Institute states that for breast cancer survivors, soy foods, as part of a healthy diet and in moderate amounts, are safe to consume.
This is great news to read. Click here to read the story.

HuffPost blogs political news in form of boobs


The controversial Huffington Post , an online news source that lately has become the US Weekly of politics (reminds me of American Idol getting more votes than the President), recently posted "Guess the Celebrity Breast Implants."

Can you guess who this BBG is? Click here for the answers.

High divorce rate = bizarre marriage hunting bra



As if women weren't portrayed as being desperate enough in the media, enter the marriage hunting bra (or the...uh...Konkatsu bra). Leave it to some crazy Japanese man (or woman) to come up with this ridiculous invention that is said to have been invented as a ploy to help stop Japan's failing marriage rate.


Lingerie company and Marriage Hunting Bra creator Triumph comments on the complicated and intelligent invention: "Once you find your life partner and get engaged, you have to insert the engagement ring into the slot and the clock stops and The Wedding March begins." Triumph comess up with a new concept bra every 6 months...in case you were interested.

WOW.



VH1's best week ever (love this show) commented "Finally, a designer has created a piece of clothing that will both hold up your breasts while simultaneously reminding you of the paralizing loneliness you live and breathe: The Husband Hunting Bra, also known as the 'Man Touching Your Breasts Minimizer'"

I of course prefer the conventional method of meeting a random dude at a bar at 3am. Just kidding...

Bra with a Brain


Imagine a bra that reshapes itself as your body temperature gets hotter and hotter. Drum rollll...introducing The Smart Memory Bra . Lisca, a Slovenian lingerie brand formed in 1955, just unveiled the Smart Bra at this week's Paris lingerie show and it's making news all over the world.


It's designed with heat-sensitive foam so when ladies become aroused and their body temperature rises, the bra pushes their boobs up. When they cool off, the foam relaxes and boobs retire to their normal resting place...says NY Magazine's blog The Cut.


According to Lisca, “As a woman’s body changes, so the size of the bra changes. That’s the advantage of this bra.”


What do you guys think?

Spanx a girl's best friend


Who doesn't like Spanx? I mean seriously. You wake up feeling extra bloated and Spanx will smooth out those problem areas and make you feel like a new woman. And the best part?comfort is the key component.


Bra-llelujah! Yes, that's the name of Spanx awesome line of bras, and they come in three styles - wireless, underwire contour and my favorite...the racerback - the solution to half the tanks in my closet. As their Web site says, Bra-llelujah was originally created as an all-hosiery design and is now a complete collection of supportive bras. BBGS's should feel the love.



If you have any of those unwanted back rolls, this praiseworthy bra will cut the fat and leave you feeling goooood. If you are dressing to impress in a skimpy little number like Malin Akerman on the cover of Women's Health, pair the Bra-llelujah with the slim cognito shaping body suit and you will feel more confident than ever...that's the BoobieBible word.


And, I must commend their web site and branding people because the image is sleek, sexy and fun. The Bra-llelujahs range from $36-62. The body suit is from $62-$66. http://www.spanx.com/.

Bra pocket


Every day there is a new wacky invention...sometimes an overnight success, other times quickly forgotten. Take the snuggy for instance (a backwards robe really) or the purse hook. Well, a new item that has been getting some press is the racktrap.
The Racktrap is a perfect gift for a BBG. I admit it - there have been times where I slip some money, a credit card, or a pen in my cleav, so this invention could actually be the answer to your next drunken night out. Instead of bringing a clutch which ends up being lost by the end of the night, buy a racktrap (clever name, I know) which acts as an undetectable personal bra pocket that can hold your license, cash and credit cards in your bra. Let's just hope the bra stays on all night, right ladies?

How to get one:

They are sold individually or in sets of 4 for $19.95 which includes white lace, black lace, nude lace plus a water-resistant sport version for the woman who loves to work out! You can also buy the limited edition gold racktrap for $7.95. If you order from the racktrap Web site, they include free shipping & handling.
Visit RackTrap.com to learn more about the product and possibly order one for yourself.

Victoria Beckham's Emporio Armani campaign


The 35-year old fashion icon Victoria Beckham will be making an appearance on May 6th at the Macy's in Herald Square NY. Remember the steamy Armani ads with David? And what about the Marc Jacobs’ ad campaign? I can't wait to see the new ads!

According to WWD, The fashion designer will make a personal appearance to unveil the latest Armani Underwear campaign for the fall.

When asked about choosing Victoria Beckham for the campaign, the Italian designer said:

"Who better than Victoria Beckham to launch our new global Emporio Armani underwear campaign? Victoria is a style icon, a dynamic lady whose influence and recognition will add great excitement to the continued international growth of our Emporio Armani women’s underwear business.”
