Bra Art
If you grew up in the last century like me, you probably thought a bra was a private thing. Well, not anymore. Last Friday night I went to an art exhibit called Bra Art at a local art gallery on Santa Fe in Denver. The idea was the brain child of Joni Goheen who has several young nieces with breast cancer. Joni was looking for a way to raise money for breast cancer research and to support her nieces when she had the idea to have people design "theme" bras and sell them at a silent auction. I saw a number of cleaver and cute bras. The first bra I saw was festooned with transistor parts including precisely placed little red lights (nipples) that was called the "Boob Tube". My favorite was actually designed by Ms. Goheen and was titled "Twin Peaks". It was a white bra lying flat with textured cups to look like snow. On the cups were tiny little skiers complete with poles!! Some of them were falling down and some were skiing down. It was very cute. Outside the street was hopping as people walked from gallery to gallery in what was called First Friday Open Galleries. There were street musicians and african dancers and lots of reveling. If you would like to make a contribution to support breast cancer research go to the local Susan G. Koman foundation website. Namaste, Diane
