Contemplating Bra Names

October 29, 2008 2 comments

Today I bought a couple bras, one at Aerie and the other at Kohls.  I find it very bizarre that they are assigning names to styles of bras now.   I don’t mean normal style names like “Midnight Magic” or something like that, but actual human female names.  Today I bought “Katie” at Aerie and “Haylie” at Kohls (Candie’s brand).

Aerie was giving out $5 coupons to anyone who tried on a bra, so I humored the salesgirl as she explained to another customer and me the different bras– “Katie,” “Paige,” and “Sasha.”  (The one with the hooker name was the deep-plunge push-up, of course.)  As she was talking, using words like “dramatic” to describe the styles, I couldn’t help but imagine an animated series with characters consisting solely of anthropomorphic bras.

I actually own two “Katies” now and one of them is black.
