Eurotrash V: Gaultier edition

::blank stare::

Champion works just as well for me...

But I hope that works out for you..

 

Is it good then? Are they a European brand/make or pan-global?
If we get to the stage - any time soon - where a GB based player is being used for such promotional stuff then I shall be a happy bunny (and not just occasional Nike photos and pics of them in natioal team kit but with no actual mention of WHO THEY ARE)!

 

I've been thinking about this... but I'm not going to ask. My mind is boggling, though.

 

After a game, on a hot summer's day, I saw Atlanta Beat here (visiting Sky Blue, near NYC) sit down in the semi-circle, and noticed almost all then reached in and took one bra off and threw it down in the grass. I asssume that "better fit" was not the purpose.

 

Moving Comfort is American company based in WA, I believe. For that kind of price, I'd be curious to know where this bra is manufactured and at what cost..

 

I was going to say that they need to contact the Swedes for real scaffolding, then I saw that the very product I would have recommended is being phased out. Bastards. Good grief, how can you call this a sports bra? What sports would you be able to do in this? Tai chi? Tiddlywinks?

*grump grump*

 

I don't know whether this is related to Linda Bresonik's bra adverts, but Duisburg are looking for an intern* to do marketing/public relations. So if anyone is looking for a new challenge...

*internship = we need the work done, but we can't afford to pay anyone for it

 

Wait a minute

I am one of those entitled to ask, but not answer, the ancient gender-secret here.....

 

I have it on good authority that Ms. Birgit Prinz wore nothing but La Perla's Dangereux Push-Up Bras. Hard to believe, I know.

 

A variety of folks thought Garefrekes wasn't wearing a bra at all during the WWC. I didn't think that likely and I'm not sure why they thought it.

 

You would think with Garefrekes running around looking like she's a DIY extra from Madonna's Blonde Ambition tour from the 90's, would leave no doubt on the question of her use of any extra support.

Seeing the rather sharp frontage of Garefrekes pre watershed, was the most surprisingly dangerous thing she contributed all tournament .

 

As one of those who might be expected to answer 'the ancient gender secret', I surely am glad that others took care of it (because I have no idea what 'the ancient gender secret' is and I don't have a decoder ring). Take it away, Bonnie:

Thanks for the clarification; I had thought that maybe the 'two-bra' thing meant that some people needed such wildly different sizes for their lefts and rights that they would buy two separate items and stitch together the appropriate areas of the garment. (Remember Columbia from Rocky Horror?)

Well, sure... with the amount of playing time she got at the WWC, why not? And who could tell? And I don't know about midfield hacks like Garefrekes, but goalkeepers of course prefer not to wear bras, as they only reduce one's sensitivity.

 

Sorry to break up the 'over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder' chat but didn't know where else to put this link:

Sorry to read such a thing. She's definitely not the only player to have experienced and be battling with such eating issues/self doubt and I think it's brave and worth listening to, when they do.

It's in Eurotrash because she escaped to Europe and I'm now left wondering if she ever served any of us (OK, me) with a beer and I didn't recognise her without a gold or navy jersey on and her hair tied back (that's what it was like when she 'disappeared').

I am sensitive to such things, even if I did describe, in print, Charlyn Corral as 'chubby but super skilful'. Eeek.

 

Hope Solo tweets:

That's why she enjoys tweeting so much, right?

Happy Imbolc, everyone, or Joyous Brigid's Day, or là fhèill Brìghde if you prefer. Everyone remember to light candles and burn things to help the sun come back for the rest of this Year of the Dragon, and someone in North America please let us poor folks across the pond know what Punxsutawney Phil (or the ground-dwelling squirrel/rodent/badger/bear of your choice) says will happen this spring.

If we had such a critter 'round these parts ('Uppsala Ulrika'? 'Svealand Sven'?) it would most certainly have headed back inside at dawn, which was bright, sunny, and a balmy -14C.

 

I believe the marmot said 6 more weeks of winter. But it is supposed to be 69 F here today and will prolly be even warmer than that.
