Wall of boobs to help confused shoppers

by Matt Bramanti · 11/03/2005 12:25 pm

I just can’t resist a story containing the words "wall of fake breasts":

A Dutch designer has created a wall of fake breasts to help male shoppers buy bras that fit their wives or girlfriends.

Wendy Rameckers works at the Piet Zwart Institute for Retail and Design in Rotterdam, reports Het Nieuwsblad.

"Most men have a selective memory," she explained. "They know all about their car, but never seem to know their wife’s bra size.

"When trying to buy a sexy bra for their wife or girlfriend, usually they point to other women in the shop or, when asked about size, they say a ‘handful’."

The wall consists of rows of silicon breasts in all sizes. By look and touch, male shoppers can work out the right size, she says.

Huh huh. Huh huh huh.

I can just imagine the creepy men that will be hanging around that wall all day.

I heard this on the radio this morning. That’s just too funny.

Hmmm….

I wonder if, for the women, Walmart will have a similar wall near the condemns?

I don’t even like fake ones on a woman, let alone on a wall. I’ll take the real deal, thank you.

Are they calling the Chronicle staff a wall?

MMNI,
Sorry. Hey I got one. When my wife sends me out for pads or tampons I never know what size. Maybe have some vaginas on the wall.

Methinks someone has been visiting restricted sites.

I would never presume to buy my lady her underwear…Unless she needed my input for my
benefit (they all know what I like, I make sure!)

To avoid this whole issue…

I just buy my wife some thread…that should cover enough for my tastes.

:~D

Or you could just look in you wife/girlfriends panty/bra drawer and see what size she really is…but that’s not as fun is it?
