If you thought bullet proof boobs were something, wait until you get a load of the holster.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)– One woman discovered on New Year’s Eve that her bra could do more than lift and support when a falling bullet was halted by the bra strap on her left shoulder.

Debbie Bingham, 46, an Atlanta resident visiting family in St. Petersburg, said her gold bra slowed the falling bullet during the holiday celebrations.

Wonder Woman’s bracelets have nothing on bullet-deflecting underwear.

Her injuries may have been much more severe had it not been for her bra strap, said George Kajtsa, spokesman for the St. Petersburg Police Department.

The bullet was halfway inside of Bingham’s bra, and the other half barely breaking the skin, Bingham later told WTSP-TV.

As for the shooter, law enforcement is on the case.

St. Petersburg police are still searching for the shooter to determine if Bingham was the target of the gunfire or if she was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, Kajtsa said.

One can almost picture the gang member doing his trajectory calculations for firing that slug in a mile-high arc, only to have the bullet blocked by a bothersome ballistic bra.

He’s conducted restaurant reviews of HISD’s reduced-cost summer lunch program and infiltrated a Third Ward Get-Out-The-Vote fish fry hosted by Democrat Sheila Jackson-Lee.

But the question remains–can the prospect of a non-food related public display of gonzo-blogging idiocy still be delicious enough to tempt celebrity LST correspondent Matt Bramanti to participate?

This morning’s Houston Chronicle issues the siren song:
