HONORING THE SPORTS BRA

by DCScrap, on 205th magazine

Remember the first time you saw a woman wearing a sports bra for a shirt? Remember how astounded you were? You wondered whether this new trend would stick. Well it has and oh how we have taken it for granted. Sports bras have long been ignored, abused and just come to be expected to be seen in this fast-paced, dog-eat-dog world of ours. Well, no more! Not only is the sports bra fashionable, utilitarian, and sexy, it saves lives.

An American hiker stranded in the Bavarian Alps for nearly three days was rescued after using her sports bra as a signal, police in southern Germany said Monday.

Berchtesgaden police officer Lorenz Rasp said that he helped lift 24-year-old Jessica Bruinsma of Colorado state to safety by helicopter on Thursday after she attracted the attention of lumberjacks by attaching her sports bra to a cable used to move timber down the mountain.

"She's a very smart girl, and she acted very resourcefully," said Rasp. "She kept her shirt and jacket for warmth, but thought the sports bra could work as a signal."

Yes! Finally some respect for the sports bra. Has it really been so long since we marveled at this?



We're sorry we have neglected you sports bra. No more.

UPDATE: Per reader request, more sports bra pictures... the respect is already beginning to rebuild...

This is the kind of hard hitting stuff we need more from at EC

thegasman said...

this was a compelling story up until the point that we found out that she kept her shirt on.

if her swollen and erect nipples were what attracted the rescuers.....THAT would be a badazz story.

(am i allowed to say nipples on EC?)

DCScrap said...

yes, but you can't say erect

The EC Police said...

Nipples is ok to say...


For future reference, silver dollar nips will also fly

so will cow udders

and contrary to what DC scrap said, semi-erect areolas is also acceptable

Did the police show up in time to save her from being gang raped by a posse of horny German lumberjacks?

Is 'fun bags' ok?

DCScrap said...

when are fun bags not ok?

MoonDog said...

Chicks never take their shirts off for me, even if they need rescuing. In fact, they add layers.

Story of my life.

World of Isaac said...
