an idea I tossed off

[redbird]

Last week, a user who will not be identified here (because it was in a locked post) asked, offhandedly. for someone to write 800 words about bras. I replied as follows:

I see the one about bras as a madcap comedy/chase, with dark undertones.

A woman is dashing frantically about, trying to find her missing bra. Hilarity ensues, as she bemoans its absence and her inability to do various important things without it. Cut to the person who took it home from the laundry by accident, then to her eight-year-old who is enchanted because it's purple...

In the denouement, we discover that this bra is special not because it's purple but because it's the magic Bra That Always Fits.

Zie didn't take me up on that, but I may play with it anyhow.

Mmmm... magic bra that always fits... Have you read the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants? It's about four very different girls who find a magic pair of jeans that looks awesome on all of them... I would love to read your bra story! I hope you decide to write it!

I used to know some folks who owned a Magic Dress. It looked good on everyone, including men.
