Dave Barry's Blog: TECHNOLOGY UPDATE

The question of the day from the women in the office is how do you wear a shirt with one of those. The men in the office responded - why wear a shirt, those are made to show off.

So, here in cube land the men loved it, the women, not so much.

At least they have an easy to access on/off switch.

If you've got to have your flashers on to make him pay attention, you're doing something very, very, wrong.

I bet one good hot flash would short-circuit the whole rig.

I'm not sure, but I think they've captured a UFO in their video.

And I want the "click for enlarged view" just for everday use on the local campus - though in my day I think that was known simply as using binoculars.

Posted by: john | March 31, 2006 at 02:55 PM

I want the one with the "scrolling message". I didn't click on the link but I hope it would say,
Was it good for you too?

And a "right on" to TRWC!

I wonder what L.E.D. Dave to post this one.

Posted by: The Sarcasticynic | March 31, 2006 at 03:06 PM

So this is where that old expression "her headlights are on" comes from....

SNORK @ Annie for the hot flash reference

The lights are on, but nobody's home.

Thanks for the mammaries.

Look out, Ipex! You've got some competition now!

Posted by: Suzy Q | March 31, 2006 at 03:16 PM

And I bet it isn't in my size...

Posted by: Kathy P. | March 31, 2006 at 03:16 PM

El - please don't take this the wrong way, but wouldn't you want a shorter message?

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 31, 2006 at 03:17 PM

...and if the message gave baseball scores, it would make it easier for me to think about baseball...

So, If a woman wears a lighted bra into outer space, & she has implants, & there is decompression, does the bra flash a distress signal? Or would the salt in the saline solution electrocute everyone?

And just what size are we talking about Kathy??

Posted by: john | March 31, 2006 at 03:37 PM

What the...?

This is off their web site, under "Bridal".

Posted by: Schadeboy | March 31, 2006 at 03:37 PM

HEY TRWCamera----

I think those would be great, I'm thinkin' about gettin' that one with the spirals - don't you think I'd look hypnotic???

LOLOL I cwack myself up!

I read this, thought of the American National anthem ("o'er the ramparts we watched" indeed) and started giggling like mad. Just thought I'd share.

Posted by: KOW | March 31, 2006 at 03:53 PM

Lab there that anniversary gift you have been looking for..*chuckle* Think the have over night delivery?

Posted by: insolentwench | March 31, 2006 at 03:58 PM

Desmond's just a zombie with a parking space
Life with Molly sure was getting bland
Desmond says to Molly , "Girl, I might be way off base."
"But here's some undies I hope that you can stand."

O-bla-di, o-bla-da the light-goes-on bra!
Lalala how that light goes on!

Molly wore her garment for a special fling
It didn't flatter her a single bit
Desmond saw the flashing, had an epileptic fit
and the EMT's all began to sing

(chorus)

Hey Random,

Check out this. Click on the bra.

snork @ insom.

(Now I'm singing stupid songs to myself.)

Posted by: daisymae | March 31, 2006 at 05:03 PM

My ex had the bra with the scrolling field. Took her top off one night, had my rapt attention, then the message comes on:

TAKE OUT THE TRASH

Posted by: MartiniShark | March 31, 2006 at 05:13 PM

Met a girl with the spiral one once. In a dark bar, you can see it through the shirt without much difficulty. Nice effect.

Posted by: D. Esker | March 31, 2006 at 05:21 PM

They also offer light-up thongs.

Wonder where you hide the battery on those???

Posted by: Betsy | March 31, 2006 at 05:56 PM

M-Shark, So,ummm, did you take her out to dinner after that?

Olo, thanks for the link, but USB connectors don't really "light my fire". I'm hoping for a remote that I can keep on the night stand. I want to be able to push a button to release the clasp so I don't have to spend 45 minutes fumbling with the damn thing.

Posted by: random thunking | March 31, 2006 at 05:57 PM

Annie, I don't understand what the "right" way to take your remark would be, OR the "wrong" way so - so - so I don't know what.

*becomes confused and zips out backwards*

Posted by: Eleanor | March 31, 2006 at 06:40 PM

Warning: Do not wear outside on rainy daZZZZZTTT *thud*

Posted by: Mike "Dr. Mad's" Weasel | March 31, 2006 at 06:46 PM

My vote goes to the Silver bra with 32 rainbow lights (in A circular pattern)So Christmassy!!

Posted by: MoFaux | March 31, 2006 at 07:32 PM

Oh please, this is so old. Doesn't anybody remember the song from "Gypsy", "You Gotta Have a Gimmick"?

Electra
She can uh... She can uh...
She can uh...uh...uh...
They'll never make her pitch.
Me, I uh... and I uh...
And I uh...uh...uh...
But I do it with a switch.
I'm electrifying
And I ain't even trying.
I never had to sweat to get paid
'Cause if you got a gimmick
Gypsy girl, you got it made.

In which Miss Electra takes it all off to reveal blinking bra and g-string?

Posted by: Guin | March 31, 2006 at 09:08 PM

All I know is that where I live the women would think nothing of wearing one of these neon nipple nudgers to a funeral or to Sunday School.

Posted by: Stupendous Man | March 31, 2006 at 10:39 PM

Hey, you could combine this with the site for man-boobs and... and... uh... urk... [posting interrupted by vomitting]

Posted by: gwangi | March 31, 2006 at 10:41 PM

The Bra of Tomorrow?

These have been around (around the round parts) for years ... wake up, marketing department ... at least get a different slogan ...

Unless you could put in a system so that if if blinks green, you could keep on going ... and if red, stop whut you're doin' ... oh ... wait ... THAT'S whut she meant ... um ... nevermind ...

Posted by: O. the U(manity) | March 31, 2006 at 11:00 PM

Another brilliant idea from the minds that brought us automotive undercarriage neon bulbs.

Posted by: The Sarcasticynic | March 31, 2006 at 11:00 PM

Frankly, I became a big hit with the girls in college when they discovered I could unsnap a bra with the cleft in my chin while steering the Stupendous Mobile with my feet. But I'm sure lights would have helped. Except at the drive-in movies where cries of "Put out those @#&%$ lights!!" would have rended the night.

Posted by: Stupendous Man | March 31, 2006 at 11:39 PM

El - when I said that perhaps you might want to pick a shorter scrolling message, I meant one that would fit on your ramparts all at one time.... because, you know, guys aren't going to remember much at that point.

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 01, 2006 at 04:05 AM

That's not the brassiere of tomorrow. That's the brassiere of tonight's nightmare!

Posted by: chumbucket | April 02, 2006 at 03:38 AM

I bet a bra with Firewire instead of USB would...well, I don't know; my brain just got clogged with internet porn jokes.

Posted by: Phunknerd | April 02, 2006 at 11:09 PM

Yes, nothing says "class" like a light-up bra. Sure to be a big hit with the trailer park set.

Posted by: darkicered | April 03, 2006 at 03:44 PM

I'll betcha Brittany has one!

Posted by: BillyJoeJimBob | April 04, 2006 at 09:46 AM
