Victoria's Common Knowledge

Anyone out there have the new, revolutionary bra from Victoria's Secret: the Ipex?

Really, is that a proper name for a bra? Is it a PDA or is it a bra? Isn't there a fitness protein powder with that name? Or, doesn't it sound more like a revolutionary new blade from Gillette?

Ipex does not sound like a name I would give to an object whose function it is to support the soft handfuls of joy that is the woman's bossom.

And if I see an Ipex commercial followed by an Enzyte commercial, followed by the Hooty and the Burgerfish commercial, I'll burst into flames of bad commercial rage.

Here's the thing that gets me - that bra's tagline is "nothing this lightweight has ever delivered this much coverage," but I'm not looking for coverage so much as support. My girls need some serious support.

I saw a commercial the other day for breast implants. There was just so much wrong with it...seriously, breast implant commercials now??? FFS, what have we come to?!?!?!

Exactly. I'm not sure what the coverage issue is about, anyway. I thought that's what shirts were for.

Hooty and the Burgerfish

Okay, that made me laugh out loud. :-)

That commercial is freaky!

Sounds like a horned and hoofed African mammal.

Ipex? What the hell is that all about? I'd think they'd want a name like "Cloud 9" or something gentle and uplifting for a device that is supposed to support breasts. Of course, it's a moot point here at Chez Cross, since Grace almost never wears a bra and I'm not into dressing up like a dame:)

Makes me think of IMAX. But if you can FIT into Victoria's Secret bras (V's secret is that she's built like a 12-year-old boy playing with a pair of pork buns...) then you're likely not going to cover the big screen!

And I wouldn't expect to find a bra with any kind of support there either. Yes, I'm bitter. Then again, if I could fit into their lingerie I'd have to pay those prices, so I should feel lucky...

Hmmm.

Can it beam my number and email to cute boys I meet? Will Calvin Klein make a men's underwear compatible with it?

Because geeks everywhere are looking for that little gem.
