Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

This is so out of the area of what I normally blog (read: bitch and complain) about, what with it being a good cause and helping and all that baloney (who me, cynical? never), but this really is a good cause and anything involving fun with bras and boobs, and I'm in.

The Quilters of South Carolina created the Arfull Bras Project, where members designed bras in the name of Breast Cancer Awareness, and they're really like mini works of art involving feathers (good), sequins (awesome) and all sorts of other random crap (and who doesn't love random crap?) The exhibit is traveling all over the state of SC until October after which the bras will be auctioned off and the proceeds going to the Best Chance Network, an organisation that provides care and treatment of uninsured women across the state who are diagnosed with breast and cervical cancer. And not to be all Debbie Downer or anything, but most of us know someone who has battled breast cancer. (Check out the schedule for the exhibit here.)

PSA over. Lets look at some over the shoulder boulder holders already! (yeah, maybe I am 12.) Here's a sample of some of my favorites:

For your inner Fembot.

Get a load of them melons!

Underwires are from hell.

I have nothing witty to say about this. Just that it's almost unhealthy how much I really, really want to wear this one.

Rump Steak Serenade

Continuing on with more culinary monstrosities from the 50's! If you haven't eaten yet, you probably shouldn't look at these pictures. But if you have eaten, you probably shouldn't look at these pictures. No one in good conscience should make any of these recipes. In fact, no one should even look in their general vicinity. I cannot be held responsible for any suicidal tendencies or mental anguish the following foodstuffs may cause.

And now, from 1959's "Knudsen Recipes: The Very Best", I bring you the very worst:

These 2 pages are apparently from the "Popular Dishes From 3rd World Countries: Leave No Part of the Animal Behind. Now with More Hooves & Retinas!" section of the cookbook. I've never seen more pure white cream sauce all over the place in my life. (...that's what she said. Hey-yo!...) Which of course brings me to:

The Chamber Pot & Dirty Sock Special: For cooking in the bathroom. Easy come, easy go. Ahem.

Meat and balls. That's all I'm gonna say. Use your imagination.
