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.
