Over the shoulder bazoonga holders

As someone with what some refer to as a 'generous pair' my sympathy was captured by the uplift bras project. The programs accepts donations of used or unwanted bras and sends them to Pacific Island countries where a bra might cost as much as a weeks wages and are quite important for women to feel comfortable in Western clothes in work environments or more secure working on farms etc.

I have some spares from the days that I still believed I could squeeze into a D Cup (oh, those were the days) and I'm collecting from my mother and her friends and will send them off in a few weeks. So c'mon ladies and drag queens - pitch in!

Our reward is free license to ogle Gisele Bunchen's rack. For research purposes obviously.

Le 80s Wheels Fest

The French indulged today in one of their favourite pastimes: a strike. Well, that's not entirely accurate; the metro staff had a strike (struck?) and the rest of the population walked to work pretending that it was a pain to be out in the light early Autumn breeze with the sun gently blazing and lighting up all the Haussmann buildings and the over-prevalent architectural wonders with that magnificent Parisian glow.

But not everyone walked, I was passed by more than 5 men in business suits roller blading. There were also 2 roller-skating. In the absence of public transport this was apparently the logical alternative, tremendous!

French police also indulge:

Time Machine

The Business Council of Australia warned, "You cannot support productivity growth in the 21st century while turning back the clock to a 1990s or 1980s workplace relations system." (West Australian 18/4/07)

Instead we propose going back to the early industrial revolution era before minimum hour weeks and penalty wages...

Just like fashion, politics has it's own retro movements, the nostalgic nod back to Whitlam or Keating. The fond recollections of Menzies and Joh. Just like fashion it will also continue to keep reviving moments from it's past sometimes because they are classics (the LBD/enterprise bargaining), because they are reminiscent of a more wholesome era (twin sets & pearls/hardcore censorship laws) or because they appeal to the elites (Haute couture/tax breaks for bussiness). Everyone's got to heark back to some era, i'll take the 80s and 90s ideas of workers rights and Salt n' Pepa over the alternative proposal of economic policies from the 19th Century and social mores from the 1950s.
