Japanese Lingerie Maker Unveils Heated Bra For Winter (http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/irresistible/5295129/detail.html)

TOKYO -- The Japanese government wants workers to dress warmly this winter and save energy. And a Japanese company is giving an unusual lift to that campaign.

Government leaders have been promoting their "Warm Biz" drive nationwide. Now Triumph International is offering the Warm Biz Bra that the company said will add "a little fun and chic to office wear."

The bra has removable pads that can be heated in a microwave or hot water. It also features long, furry straps that wrap around the neck, like a scarf. There also are matching shorts.

The company said the material helps save warmth, thus cutting down on the need to turn up the heat.

What an idea! Give a whole new meaning to the word "hot."

LOL

[Sharon Isley]

Seems to me that only helps 1/2 of the population...

And I think I'll stick to my electric blanket!

Hmmmm...furry strapped bras with matching shorts as "office wear".

I think my husband would prefer that I wear it at home :-)

Whatever happened to long underwear and an extra sweater and thick socks? But then I live in Arizona and right now its 84 degrees outside. I guess I am not one to ask about the cold.

Office conversation:

Manager: Where's Ms. Smith?

Clerk: Oh, she's down in the breakroom, sir.

Manager: Is she taking a break or what?

Clerk: Oh, no, she'll be right back. She's just microwaving her bra, sir.


Yep, I can see it now.


Oh brother.

LOL
