"THE BRA SINGER" - Songs For Bras and Breast Cancer
Singing for Bras and Breast Cancer Survivors
In Burbank, California there is a "Bra Whisperer" named, Susan Nethero. Her title is "Chief Bra Stylist" and she's the founder of a "string" of lingerie boutiques. With cred's like hers, we are most impressed, she was trained by the Queen of England's Royal Bra Fitter (what size is the Queen now, anyway, I've often wondered). She's worked on Oprah, as well, who hasn't?
She puts her eager staff through "Bra Fit Boot Camp" and they are all friendly, warm and utterly enthusiastic about their Playtex. I love her mission to "lift up" women, it's a mission shared by "The Bra Singer", Melody Swink.
Swink doesn't sell the fabulous figure fixtures, but she does talk, chat, whisper and sing about them. Her fresh, new "breastcentric" comedy, The D-Cup Diatribes is all about breasts and our relationship with them - and the mirror that beholds them.
From an 11-year old girls' anxious ruminations about her growth and the slowness, thereof. To a single mother who is making ends meet at a "breastcentric" male eating establishment called Honkers (ala Hooters). The former is being pulled in two directions, one to "honor her natural gymnasts" build", and the other, her mother admonishing her that "cleavage is more important than college", beauty being of paramount concern.
The "Honkers" girl is undergoing a serious bra malfunction and is exhorting help from heaven to repair her woes, and her broken bra. These are hilarious takes on the real-life stories of a woman and her bra. Hence, the title, The D-Cup Diatribes... the tata's are talking. This breast-conscious comedy examines the lives of 8 feisty females, and how each character internally struggles and externally compensates or copes with her relationship with her body... in a Cleavage Culture Society.
Take for instance the African-American police offices who laments that her bullet-proof vest doesn't sit completely flat because of her 42E - sized mammaries. Contemplating a breast reduction to "take away some of the bountifulness." She's a warm, likable character that every woman can relate to. Whether coping with a tad smaller than I'd like to see in a tight dress... or a little more than my back can (without strain) hold up.
We are proud to be in partnership with The American Cancer Society raising funds for breast cancer awareness and breast cancer prevention. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - stay tuned for D-Cups events, the Breast Cancer Walk and more. Bring a new bra (D and plus sizes) to the show and help Support... UPLIFT women in need. Bras will be distributed to women's shelters across the country and in your community. A hilarious, comedy night out for Everyone!
The D-Cup Diatribes is heading out on National Tour in mid-September just in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. See the show and make new "Breastfriends" with yourself - and your mirror.

Women's Bras
Shopping for the perfect bra for everyday wear, a special occasion, or a new outfit? With so many selections available it is sometimes hard to know where to start. This simple guide will introduce you to six outstanding brands of women's bras, including high-end and average-priced lines. All of these brands have been around for several decades and are on the leading edge of modern fabrics, bra manufacturing technologies, and current fashion trends. They all offer women a comfortable, flattering fit.
Wacoal
Wacoal women's bras originated many years ago in Japan. Now they are in demand, not only in Japan, but also in Europe and the United States. They are known for their light, technologically advanced fabrics and well-fitting, beautiful designs. Wacoal is so committed to fit that it has developed special collections for petite and full figured women. Wacoal also excels at producing popular styles such as T-backs, push-ups, strapless bras, and sports bras.
Playtex
Playtex is a very well-known line that is part of American undergarment and bra-making history. It originated in 1932 and has become one of the Hanesbrand apparel lines. Comfort, support, and fit are qualities valued and promoted by Playtex in its well-known bra collections such as Cross Your Heart Bras, Playtex 18 Hour and Playtex Secrets. Playtex has selections to fit every figure, including plus size styles, half sizes, and nursing bras. Their collections are available for browsing and fitting in major department stores.
Bali
Hanesbrand Inc. also acquired Bali, another well-established brand of women's bras. The founders of Bali were pioneers in the development of women's undergarments. Who would have imagined in 1927 that the hand-sewn creations of an entrepreneurial couple, Sara and Sam Stein, would eventually be sold in major department stores across the United States? Among recent inventions are the S-shaped gel strap and the "no-poke wire" technology for underwires. Bali collections offer a one-stop option to women, young and old, with classic and modern tastes; full and average figures.
Chantelle
If you are looking for French lingerie, Chantelle may be your answer. Chantelle undergarments are available globally. Originating over 100 years ago, Chantelle has kept up with the times, offering styles for older and younger women with diverse tastes and fitting needs. Chantelle has an impressive range of sizes, with some collections including G and H cups. For modern casual and business wear there is a wide range of smooth, seamless selections that can be worn under any outfit.
Maidenform
Maidenform is one of the first American bra designs, originating in New York in the 1920's. Maidenform garments have evolved over the years, with steady improvements and new styles. Maidenform prides itself in producing intimate wear that is attractive and well-fitting. The Maidenform Lilyette line caters specifically to women who need plus sizes. All bra variations are available from Maidenform-including backless, strapless convertibles, nursing bras, push-ups, sports styles, and back smoothers.
Vanity Fair
Vanity Fair has been in the business of clothing manufacturing for over 70 years, and has been making women's bras for over half of this time. Perfect fit is a value reflected in corporate goals. This goal is echoed in the name of one of its leading bra collections called "Fits you Perfectly". Other bra collection titles reflect the importance of beauty and comfort, such as "Beautiful Benefits", "Enhance Your Looks", "Smooth Moves" and "My Satin Fantasy". Beautiful and trendy selections are made to fit all sizes of women with petite, average, and full figures.
