Sometimes good girls show their bras, but only for charity

Usually we encourage ladies to keep their bra straps -- not to mention their bra cups -- well covered. But in this case, we are asking you to do the opposite. Even the rules of decorum can be lifted for a good cause.

In the Creative Cups™ Design Contest participants transform a padded 36C bra into a work of art. The contest is a fund raising event to benefit the 28 year old Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program.

This sexy lingerie costs MILLIONS of dollars!

(click thumbnails to view gallery)

  • Heidi Klum models $11 million bra (it's encrusted with diamonds)
  • Gisele models a $15 million bra (it's encrusted with jewels)
  • This bra is spun with gold thread, worth $1.9 million
  • Tyra Banks models a $3 million bra (it's encrusted with diamonds)
  • This bra is studded with pearls, worth $115,000

Even if you live in a different part of the country, this is a great way for aspiring designers, or anyone whose life has been touched by breast cancer, to creatively express your feelings about the disease and support a great program. Get out your Bedazzler and the big bag of sequins because one of the requirements is that you cover every inch of fabric. Think big, in every sense.

For information on the contest, including submission guidelines, visit the Adelphi University events page.

That sounds very clever; and the cause is certainly worthwhile.

Hit me up when they come out with some nice, non-granny looking 34FF's that are for REAL breasts, not something out the local K-mart! 36C's are so dang common now-a-days! It's like that's all they make at the production factory!

Padded bra?
How about padding them with something we like?
Like padding them with breasts of a REAL woman.

I think that they should take women with small busts into consideration, some people like their breasts perky or small....36C isnt a normal breast size, every size is normal
