Ancient Wonder Bra

[mol]

Not much on this, in fact, I pasted the whole story. Copyrights be damned...they need to give us more info!


Archaeologists have dug up a thousand-year-old padded bra in Inner Mongolia, China, a news report said on Thursday.
The gold-coloured bra was found in tomb in the province's Aohan region, according to the South China Morning Post.

Archeologist Shao Guotian said the bra dated back to China's Liao dynasty and described it as made of fine silk with shoulder and back straps.

"It is just like brassieres of today," he said. "It's a pity most of the cotton padding in the cups has already decayed." - Sapa-dpa

umm.. yeah... i edited.. then put my reason for a title... im gonna lay off the coffee now

[Avalon]

Mol, that's actually pretty interesting. I didn't think that women wore bras until fairly recently (historically speaking, of course).

And underwire is completely evil. Down with underwire! :lol:

[Jenne]

Wow...wonderbra for the ancients...guess big boobs were "in" back then too! :veryweird

[mol]

We probably shouldnt hijack the thread with smilies. :)

Avalon: I know! I was completely intrigued. I had no idea bras were used in that era. ;) My wife hates the wires, too. She rips 'em out. :p

[aluokaloo]

Thats hilarious! I didn't know they made wonder bras back then.

[aluokaloo]

[misschief]

:::::silently wondering, "am i part chinese?":::::
:lol:

[Jenne]

*speaking as a wonderbra user* You don't NEED a wonderbra if you are well-endowed. LOL Defeats the purpose! You need one if you ARE flat! Hence my comment--that certain women must've been "lacking" and so had to devise a way to make up for it! ;)

[ororo]

:lol:

lol. I'm Korean and I'm a 36DD. Only 118lbs. Go figure.

What a find.. and.. oooooooooh mol!

[Cinnamon Girl]

And here I thought that they were a fairly recent form of torture. I guess so much for my thought (hope) that in a hundred years these things would be obsolete, much like the corset. Sounds like these blasted things have staying power. :ugh:

[CirceAdonia]

Yeah they need to ban underwires forever!!!

[WrathofCirce]

I wonder if the underwire chafed at all like they do today?...
Druchii, how often do you wear a bra?:wtf: :huh:

Or it's just that men have always been obsessed by large breasts.

[Laurelei]

Wow, there IS hope for the human race!

I'm still slurping down the sdya milk though... must... keep... drinking... oestrogens!

I'm an anti-padding girl. I'm also 14 and an A cup. That's a really degrading combination, especially in PE lessons :(. Maybe the ancient Chinese women had the right idea after all...

[misschief]

lol.. im 24 and barely over an A cup *sigh* it doesnt get better... lol

[blugirrl1]

Avalon: I know! I was completely intrigued. I had no idea bras were used in that era. ;) My wife hates the wires, too. She rips 'em out. :p

don't worry, Laurelei. breasts & hips continue to grow until age 25. maybe you'll "catch up". :)

thinks to self......'hmm.. i'll be 25 in about a month and a half.....'

hahahaha

[boerbabe]

hee hee If my bras had no wire, there'd be no reason to wear them! I haven't been able to wear one without wire since I moved to a B cup- if I do, everytime I raise my arms, they just pop right off my boobs and render themselves useless...lol.

Before soemone (sorry, forgot who) posted they are Korean & a 36DD, I was thinking that my best friend is half Korean and a 36D...lol.

Wow. Mol, I am so impressed. :thumbsup: BTW... what other features? Just wondering if you are a Renaissance man, or a butt man, he he.

[misschief]

LMAO! Well, ok, I am a The-Whole-Package man, with the main concern of whats on the inside. My mom always told me some of the prettiest looking berries are poisonous. So, while I do *look* at women, my basis of beauty has always been personality comes first.

However, if we are just talking about seeing women on tv or glancing at the lady pumping gas at the gas station...I, well, I'm a butt guy!

That's why you take small bites and build up an immunity to the poison. :D
A butt guy huh? I could take it or leave it...
I prefer the area above, and unlike in France where supposedly the perfect breast should fit in a champagne glass, I believe it should clog a toilet.

[Druchii]

Druchii, how often do you wear a bra?:wtf: :huh:


Okay, a few years ago I performed at a Drag Club here in KC, called Tootsies on a dare with my freind Jesse ( a drag queen ). We sang "Turn the Beat Around" by Gloria Estafan and the Miami Sound Machine. Unbeknownst to me it was filmed, and I have seen it once, and I know that it is now somewhere in Colorado Springs is my best guess with my freind Chris Trotter ( the bastard cameraman ). So to answer you. Just once. ONLY once! :lol:!!!!

[LittlePerson]

I bet it was a man who designed that bra too.:razz:

Ok, if you say so, but I always loved a man in heels and a bra. Always does my heart good to see a man feeling my pain.

[misschief]

:stooges: hahahahahaha... yeah, there are a few pains i could stand to see on a mans face.:stooges:
