Feminist Says “Don’t Burn Bras, Create Them!”

Clever and attention-grabbing, U.K.-based artist Laura Ann Jacobs is unleashing her feminist anger through her new collection of underwear sculptures. The different pieces, over 100 in the series, display some seriously outrageous bras with names like bras that pinch, garden of eatin’ and would he or woody knot.

Some of her styles, which may be purchased from her website www.laurasaura.com, (send her an email) are described as Dali-inspired to antique glass. They are purposely designed to bring attention to the fact that feminism has been countered by, in Jacobs' words, “today’s ever-present porn industry and freaky surgery makeovers.”

Jacobs continues, “Today's self-assertive, self-reliant, independent modern woman is more man made than ever before, still shaped by man's DIC-tates.”

Power to the sista! Would you buy one of these?

The collection also includes corsets and shoes - they must be pricey!

The Winkee Has You Covered – Literally!

Long ago were the days when a plunging neckline was frowned upon in society. Today, many of us make a living out of flaunting the girls, and some of us may even resort to paying for the extra cleavage - just look at Pamela Anderson and all of Hugh Hefner’s lovely ladies.

But, if you are one of those ladies who likes to avoid tops that are too revealing or needs to cover up in a professional work environment, a new product called The Winkee may be a good solution. This mock cami is a stylish, light-weight bra accessory that can help cover cleavage without added bulk. And if you’re thinking “my girls are just too big,” you are wrong. one Winkee size fits all, and for curvier ladies, make sure to request the long-tab Winkee which has more fabric.

Although I haven’t sampled one yet, this bosom buddy seems like a great alternative to wearing a bando top underneath a low cut blouse or using a safety pin to prevent cleavage exposure – yes I have done this numerous times and ruined many expensive tops.

So what exactly is the Winkee? The Winkee combines the concept of a tank top layer with the added benefit of being removable, allowing women to cover cleavage when they need to and giving the option to switch from a day-to-night look without changing outfits. The Winkee kit comes with 10 Winkeedots, disposable double-sided adhesives securing fabric-to-fabric, that are good for 3-6 uses...I would stock up on these.

All you have to do is stick the Winkeedots on the inside of each of the three Winkee tabs, wrap the top side tabs around straps of the bra and wrap the bottom tab under the middle of the front of the bra – and now you are Winkafied!

Colors: Try ivory or black if you are looking for something simple and if you want to dress it up, Winkees new line includes fun styles and colors like aqua lace, sugar coral and café au lait.

Cost: $17-20 and can be purchased online at thewinkee.com; a pack of 50 extra winkeedots is $8.

China reports: Female Infants are Growing Breasts

The fourth largest country in the world is reporting even bigger news, and people are not happy.

The official Chinese Daily Newspaper reports that female infants in China who have been fed milk formula by baby formula company Synutra are growing breasts. Call it another hormone disaster, but medical tests performed on babies being fed Synutra formula found levels of estrogens circulating in their bloodstreams that are as high as those found in most adult women. These babies are just between four and 15 months old.

Synutra denies being the faulty party, and perhaps the hormones that somehow entered the food chain root back to the farmers who reared the cows - they currently use growth hormones to promote greater milk production (source: Chinese Dairy Association).

So who is responsible? It hasn't been determined, but fears are escalating that some of this tainted formula could make its way to the U.S. - after all, a surprising number of food products sold in the U.S. come from China. And what's worse, at this point it's impossible to detect if the infant formula you purchase has been made with milk products from China. Makes me think about all the food we consume and where it really comes from...

Can New Drug Stop Spread of Breast Cancer?

Whether it be family or a close friend, we have all in one way or another been exposed to the inevitable effects of breast cancer. Though the horrible disease has plagued millions, it's comforting to read that researchers continue to work steadfastly at finding a cure.

The Daily Express, Daily Telegraph and BBC News recently reported that British scientists from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and other research centers in the UK and US are developing a new drug that could stop the spread of breast cancer in a fifth of sufferers; the research is being funded by the Scottish Funding Council and Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

The drug is based on a genetic “breakthrough” that identified how cells break away from highly aggressive HER2 breast cancers. If you’re like me and wondering what HER2 stands for, its "Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2" and is a part of a family of genes that play roles in regulating cell growth...basically a gene that contributes to higher aggressiveness in breast cancers.

Although it’s too early to confirm anything, researchers are hoping to one day determine if these chemicals are safe and effective for testing in humans so we could have a new drug on the market to stop the spread of breast cancer. Click here to read more about the story.

Kathy Griffin Looking Hot on Lopez Tonight

Whether she's talking about "Gaytinos" or her love affair with "The Situation," Kathy Griffin always knows how to shock an audience with her blunt yet hysterical personality. But on July 12th, the two-time Emmy winner took her performance on Lopez Tonight to a new level by stripping off her black boyfriend jacket to show off her new vagazzled va-jay-jay and spray tan; though I suspect she wanted to show of her fab body.

I was totally digging her bra - looked like it gave great full coverage - and I'd love to know who makes it. Never been a huge fan of her clothing choices, though...she's made quite a few "worst dressed" lists in her day.

Go Kathy...I totally love her!

From Booty to Boobs - Kim Kardashian unveils her fake body

Reality starlet and sought-after endorser Kim Kardashian may have a banging body and boobs to boot, but her newly unveiled wax figure certainly received some alternations. The big time celebrity (who's website is rumored to be the top celebrity site on the internet) just got her very own wax figure at Madame Tussauds, revealed on July 1st. Although her boobs are still looking large and luscious, they do look a bit fake...at least that's what some of her fans are saying. (Let's not forget that the wax figure is fake itself people!)

The Los Angeles Times "Ministry of Gossip" blog led its post with "Yes, Kim Kardashian -- hers will stay perky longer than yours."

Kim's thoughts on her wax figure? "It's weird," she comments. "It's like she's prettier than I am. It's so weird, like, my arms and the hands..."

Kim, if you'r reading this...I think you're forgetting to mention the breast lift your wax figure received.

Others worthy of their own Madame Tussauds wax figures include Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez and more. Check out all the wax figures here.

Who do you think is next - my vote goes to Justin Beber!

Stage 5 Flasher!

Whether the cameras are flashing or a sexy celebrity is giving a quick peekaboo, there is always some sort of naughty flashing going on. And the fact that Mardi Gras makes flashing a part of its lifestyle to win some cheap plastic beads says a lot about our society.

Now Magazine is reporting that Katie Perry likes to get “saucy” and recently flashed her BB’s to a gal pal. Is this really so shocking? I mean, I flash my friends from time to time just to be silly, don't you? (please say yes).

Other celeb BB flashers include Khloe and Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Lil Kim and Paris Hilton...and let's not forget the infamous Janet Jackson flashing at the 2004 Super Bowl XXXVIII.

Would you give a quick flash to the paparazzi to get some attention?

Amy Winehouse Boob Troubles!

Tabloid star and acclaimed singer/songwriter Amy Winehouse has been admitted to the hospital due to reported chest pains stemming from her 2009 breast augmentation. This isn't the first time the damaged singer has gone to the hospital - most recently she was admitted to the ER because of a bad reaction of mixing over-the-counter drugs with prescriptions.

Last year when Winehouse got the implants, her father was quoted saying that Amy is doing fantastic and that "her boobs are great as well." I think I am starting to see why Winehouse has so many issues.

It's also being reported that the doctors are considering removing the singer's implants if the pain continues.

BB advice: Get them removed! Having larger breasts is not worth a lifetime of pain. The surgery isn't even a year old and you are already in the hospital - the pain will probably remain throughout your life and possibly get worse.

This just in: boobs almost kill?

My best friend Amanda (you can check out her blog premiumgradehair) so graciously sent me this story...always thinking about Boobie Bible! So this email pops up in my inbox - subject line: "Woman's Giant Breasts Nearly Kill Boyfriend."

How do I even tackle this one? I've heard of many ways to kill someone - weapons, poison, assassination, even the old Brazen Bull trick. But I can surely tell you that this is a new one to me. if the boobs kill someone, do they sit on trial? How does this work? What if one boob is the cause - does the other get to go home free of charge? Below is a shortened version of the story, but click here to read the real deal.

A British woman nearly suffocated her boyfriend with her gargantuan 40LL breasts. Her boytoy stopped breathing, regained consciousness a few seconds later and soon broke up with aforementioned British woman because he was turned off from sex following the "rack of doom" incident.Dying to hear your thoughts and, perhaps, similar experiences?

Top Heavy Mannequins

I was walking down the historic Lincoln Road (South Beach) with my parents this past weekend enjoying some people watching (saw oddball Dennis Rodman), and my dad pointed out something very interesting – "Do you notice these mannequins in the store window," he asked? After taking a hard look, I realized that these mannequins all had one interesting characteristic that stood out, beside the plastic coating and ridiculously trashy outfits….they were festooned with ENORMOUS breasts. Does this paint a clear view into the future of where the retail industry is headed, or are boobs just getting bigger and the world is accepting it?

Sun Sentinel writer Rod Hagwood just wrote a story about this very same topic and credits the influx of top-heavy mannequins to the fact that breasts are getting bigger in the U.S.

According to Rod’s research, “The median bra size a decade ago was 36C. In the '70s and '80s it was 34B. But now lingerie, foundation and undergarment manufacturers and retailers report there is a demand for DD, DDD and G cups, according to Fashion Gossip Weekly. Some bra builders are going for a K cup.”

A K cup!?

2010 Oscars Boob Faux Pas

Another year, another Oscars, but this year was surprising...

Sandra Bullock, who always looks great, appeared strikingly beautiful this year in a gold beaded Marchesa gown and red painted lips that perfectly accented her porcelain skin. I also thought Demi Moore looked unbelievably gorgeous in Atelier Versace and I happened to love Zoe Zaldana's ruffled purple gown by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy Haute couture.

Kate Winslet (another looker) took it easy this year in YSL and Kristen Stewart stuck with her dark side in a navy Monique Lhuillier number.

Wasn't a big fan of JLo's dress choice (Armani Prive), and nominated Penelope Cruz's sculptured Donna Karan Couture didn't wow me either. Diane Kruger gave no surprises as she often sports Chanel HC. Vera Farmiga's dress went a little too wild on the ruffles side for me in a Marchesa gown (Sandra beat her out with the best Marchesa this year).

Topping the worst dressed chart? Our beloved fashion icon SJP, who originally began earning her fashion cred from SATC, wore a very unflattering pale yellow Chanel Haute Couture number.

And the worst...and the reason why boobie bible had to make a post...Charlize Theron. She honestly couldn't have called more attention to her BBs in this John Galliano, boobie rose-ornated dress.

bando or strapless?

Bando or a strapless? That is the question.

Forget strapless for me...they just aren't working. From Vicky's to department store brands, they just don't stay in place despite the sticky lining of the bra. So, my new obsession is the bando bra, but not just any bando bra. I have tried many, including Victoria Secret, GAP and Macy's, but my favorite by far is American Apparel. And have you checked out their selections? They stay in place, they minimize the BBs (because the material is thin) and they are packaged in a variety of colors...I mean more than you can count on both hands.

The downside? They aren't as supportive as your typical strapless, and after one wear, they stretch out. That means, you actually have to wash the bando after one use...and you know we all wear our bras a couple of times before washing...just like your favorite pair of jeans.

As American Apparel says: "The perfect bra for strapless tops or layer under our Deep V's for a ruched peek-a-boo effect."

At just a $11 a pop, they are well worth the investment. Buy here:

I'll have a merlot with a side of boobs please

Calling all ladies looking for a quick boob job, sans surgery:

Just when we thought things couldn't get any wackier (re: ringtones that can increase boob size), a new inventor (Cooler Fun) yet again surprises us with the winerack bra.

No, I didn't stuttttter. It's like nursing...yourself into a drunken blitz, and getting the cleavage, then losing the cleavage, and then getting confused why you lost the cleavage since you're now intoxicated...a vicious cycle I tell you.

Seeing as this combines two of my loves, wine and boobs, I am more than intrigued. Okay, here's the scoop:

The winerack bra is a sports bra that offers to not only give your boobs a boost, but also totes 25 ounces of your favorite beverage. This means it has to be pretty supportive if it can hold that much liquid.

Think of it as a sophisticated keg! The winerack bra is connected to a drinking tube (with a DIY on/off valve) that can literally be connected straight from your sports bra to your lips. Can I get a "hell no?" This feels wrong on many levels.

Here are some classic comments from various site/blog readers. Fill up your winerack bra and guzzle down for added pleasure:

"Drinking out of boobs is not so weird"

"I don't understand why anyone would want their boobs to get smaller throughout a night of drinking"

"Female alcoholics rejoice everywhere…"

"That's awesome"

Tagline: Juice up your rack for only $29.95. If you want to buy one as a gag gift or maybe because you actually want one (I urge you to get help if this is the case), you can go to baronbob.com.

A new sports bra...avoid the uniboob look!

I have been saying for many moons how being big-breasted and wearing a sports bra to the gym is as fabulous as waking up at 3am with a UTI. After a great workout, the boobs are not in such great shape, and may even start joining together and become the dreaded uniboob that is sooo NOT attractive. Sometimes they get very sore (even worse if Aunt Flo pays a visit) and some chafing action may occur. Although I had breast reduction surgery in 2008, at times I still double up on sports bras which causes a lot of shoulder aches and pains. Bottom line: NOT FUN.

Well, a new bra has come out that I am dying to give a try. The name? HANDFUL. It's purpose? "Designed to flatter, not flatten." I like it!

Cost is $40 and is said to flesh the girls out farther with removable inserts that can make sure no one's merely an A (not a problem for me...) Straps are slim and the bra is more revealing than the typical racer-back bra, If you are daring enough, you could even sport it shirtless as it's not too revealing. It also comes packaged with a mesh bag to maintain the fabric and longevity when tossing it in the washing machine.

Check out the story in the Miami Herald here:

Also, here's a great article about how to find the best sports bra for you, if the "handle" doesn't work.

If you have purchased this sports bra, or know anything about it, send me an email or leave a comment. Thanks! I'll give more details on where to buy it soon...looks like it hasn't been picked up by many stores yet.

Undercover at Hooters

I recently started watching this show called Undercover Boss, and last week the head honcho of Hooters, Coby Brooks, went undercover in some of the Dallas Hooters stores.

I have never been opposed to Hooters. I don't love the food, but the wings are decent and I do fancy the curly fries. And, well, the Hooters girls are Hooters girls. The orange hot pants, tight white shirts...i'd say your average guy wouldn't mind getting served a beer by a girl dressed like that. Would I have picked that path for myself? Probably not. But, I wouldn't put them in the same category as strippers. I know that many people think the chain exploits women. What do you think?

On another note, Entertainment Weekly said it best, when describing a bean eating contest orchestrated by a Hooters' manager named Jimbo. Basically, he made his employees eat plates of beans without using their hands to get off their shifts early. Now that's degrading!! check out the story here.

Super Bowl Saints Parade

As we all know, the Saints won the big game on Sunday, and you know what that means??
Nawlins is known for their "breast-happy parade-goers" (as said by TMZ.com), so a special message was delivered to the nearly 600 5-0's who monitored the big Saints parade yesterday. They were told, although mardi Gras is just a few days away (don't worry, we will blog about that more), that this parade is very much so G-rated. Must I remind you all of the Janet/Justin incident at the 2004 Super Bowl?

So ladies, save the boobie flashing for Mardi Gras, coming your way on February 16, 2010.
