Bra and Gas Mask in One

I think that this is a really brilliant invention. Who would have thought that you can use our bras for something else too?
Dr. Elena Bodnar won for her bra that converts into a pair of gas masks – one for the wearer, the other for a friend.
It sounds silly, but Bodnar, a Ukraine native who now lives in Chicago, started her medical career studying the effects of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster.
If people had had cheap, readily available gas masks in the first hours after the disaster, she said, they may have avoided breathing in Iodine-131, which causes radiation sickness.
The bra-turned-gas masks could have also been useful during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and for women caught outside during the dust storms that recently enveloped Sydney, she said.
‘You have to be prepared all the time, at any place, at any moment, and practically every woman wears a bra,’ she said, noting that a bra cup, no matter what size, is the perfect shape to fit over the human mouth and nose.
Her patented devices also look pretty, no different from a conventional bra, she added.

Bras for all occassions!
Bras have been around in one form or another since the ancient Greeks. They were originally designed to support the breasts for the woman’s comfort, but now they come in various designs to provide breast shaping. Breast shaping bras include cleavage enhancing bras or push up bras.
Even as recently as 35 years ago nuns forbade girls attending Catholic schools from wearing bras, instead they had to use strips of material tied tightly around the breasts to try to make them smaller! Nowadays, even nuns wear bras.
Bras come in all shapes and sizes; from tiny soft bras for girls of 10 to very supportive under-wired bras designed for the fuller figure.
Did you know that 90% of women find their bras to be uncomfortable? This may be because research has shown that a similar percentage have poorly fitting bras, because they have never been properly measured.
Bras come in a very wide range of designs. Large breasted women find it difficult to buy attractive and feminine bras because manufacturers have been slow to provide a wide range of bras for this market.
Many sexy bra designs are primarily designed to be attractive to men. You can now buy translucent and transparent bras, wet-look bras and bras that are hardly there at all. Peephole bras allow the nipples to stick out.
Bra design has also changed to accommodate strapless and backless dresses and tops. After all it is pointless buying a low cut evening gown, with no back, and then spoiling the appearance with bra straps on shoulders and back.
Sports bras are basically highly elasticized skimpy tops, with no seams to rub. They are designed to provide support and stop the breasts bouncing around during exercise. They come in the various degrees of support necessary for different activity levels.
Prom Night Questions
Prom night is one of the nerve wrecking occasions in a girl’s life. Aside from the anxiety provoking “what ifs” the night of the prom, you have to avoid all of the potential problems leading up to the prom. Whether you’re going with the date of your dreams or you’re planning to attend the prom with a group of girlfriends, there’s no getting around the issue of prom dresses. I know finding the right evening wear such a formal occasion can seem like an impossible challenge. Here, then, are answers to common questions that relate to prom dresses, homecoming dresses, and quinceanera dresses.
1. I’m short and want to look taller for my prom. What should I do?
There are three elements that can help you appear taller on your special night: the right heels, the right prom dress, and the right hairstyle. First, plan on wearing high heels. Whether you add one inch or three with high heels, it’s important that you look for prom dresses that will accommodate the heels. You might want to go with a cocktail length dress, but a floor length dress will add length to your body – and an illusion of height. Look for floor length prom dresses that have side slits for better maneuverability. Finally, take care in selecting your hairstyle. Go with an updo to add height – even if you need to add extensions or a hairpiece.
2. I’m a senior in high school, but I look like an eighth grader. How do I look older for prom?
When it comes to maturity, keep two things in mind: bearing and appearance. Body language is important, in that how you move your body, how you tilt your head, the timber of your voice, and the way you walk all speak volumes about your perceived age. While you definitely don’t want to pretend you’re someone you’re not, this might be a good opportunity to practice skills that will help you evolve into the person you want to be. Practice walking in your prom shoes, watch your facial expressions in the mirror, record your voice to hear how it sounds, and so forth. Make any adjustments (and practice) so that your mannerisms reflect what you feel inside.
When you look for prom dresses, look for those that are more formal. Formal clothing makes women appear older, as do colors that are dark and rich. Depending on your coloring, you might want to go with jewel tones, black, or chocolate brown.
3. How do I know how to have my hair styled for prom?
How you fashion your hair greatly depends upon the style of your prom dress. If your dress has a high collar or a busy neckline, an updo is the only way to go. On the other hand, if your prom dress is sleeveless, strapless, or has spaghetti straps, you can wear your hair long or short, full or sleek. The one caveat is to make sure your hair doesn’t cover up an important feature of your prom dress. That gorgeous keyhole back, for example, will be invisible if you have hair down to your waist!

L'oreal's Long Lasting Lipstick
I’m very cautious about buying lipstick brands that claim to last the whole night. In my experience, most of these lipsticks become dry and uncomfortable to wear as the evening progresses. Sure, the color might stay, but what’s the use of wearing lipstick if you cannot smile properly because your lips are too stiff? Here’s a quick fix for this common problem: lip gloss and lip balm. Just dab on your lips when the layer of ‘long lasting’ lipstick starts to solidify.
Am I still going to buy all-nighter lipsticks? Absolutely. At the end of the day, these types of lipsticks make it easier for women to work or play without having to worry about being too pale. With these long-lasting types, at least you know you will still have some lipstick on even if you don’t visit the powder room for a few hours.
If you’re willing to spend a few dollars for the sake of vanity, here’s a worthy investment for you. Buy this lip gloss: Infallible by L’Oreal . Now, before you start fantasizing about going to parties with this matte-shine lipstick, you must understand that this stays on longer if you don’t eat fried finger food. The oil will affect any make up on your skin.
