She’s Electric
May 15, 2008 — dionysianprincessBesides wanting to title a blog post after my personal favorite 1995 Oasis Song “She’s Electric” - I also want to bring your attention to the latest invention in the world of environmentally sustainable fashion:
Yes, that’s right. You can now feel good about saving the environment in places you never thought possible. By using your bust to build energy, you can generate enough electricity to charge a mobile phone or an iPod. You can be a portable battery in sizes A-D.
Obviously, this absurd invention was created in Japan - where the limited space for power plants has made the island pay serious homage to the sun by using solar power wherever and whenever possible.
Now the bra has yet to hit stores as it requires light to generate electricity. (And well, walking around in your underwear has yet to take off in Japan - we won’t count Sumo wrestlers).
But, according to the Lingerie maker Triumph International, the idea that “lingerie could possibly save the planet” is something worth thinking about. In my mind, solar powered bras create just the sort of sex appeal that the Green Movement might be looking for, but as far as logistics go - bikini’s might be more appropriate.

I expect more from the country that gave us fuel efficient cars, the walkman, and popularized sushi and the samurai warrior.
Then again, they also gave the world a giant lizard in Godzilla and anime porn!
The new solar bras the Japanese have invented give new meaning to the term, “Land of the rising sun”!

Thank you. In a world that’s filled with absurdities, sometime interjecting a little humor is necessary to keep us sane.

and japanese women have such small boobs — they’re not going to generate much electricity with those 31AA cups, are they?
