Thanks for your comment, Nicola. Yes, it does beggar belief why you’d want to go around looking like this when you could achieve a similar effect by wearing something that looks and feels gorgeous. It smacks of gimmecky marketing. It might get a few headlines, but I imagine trade will be slow after the initial buzz dies down.
Thanks,
Catherine

I keep looking at the picture attached to this article and can’t help think that whoever designed it hasn’t reveiwed the bra market first. There are so many brands who make the most incredible enhancing bras, Panache Atlantis and After Eden to name but two. I can not see there is any place for this contraption at all. The double gel or liquid options available make the thing useless as they enhance soooo much you couldn’t possibly push your assets any further! In answer to their question – NO you wouldn’t!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Claire. I have to say I’m totally in agreement: it’s so positive to hear that fake breasts are starting to lose their appeal. And if Hollywood says they’re “out”, you can bet there’ll be less young girls believing that the key to confidence is a boob job. Let’s hope that the pendulum starts to swing in favour of natural bodies — and that we see less unattainable figures held up as the ‘ideal’ in future.

It pleased me to see an article in the Daily Mail a few days ago, on the topic of fake breasts, that argues that even Hollywood- the home of plastic fantastic, is slowly turning its back on these giant watermelons plastered to women’s chests.
A recent advert calling for extras for the new Pirates of the Caribbean film stated that all girls must be natural- no implants. Well, if it’s true, it’s about time!
Having had images of the ‘perfect’ woman being thrust in my face and being made to feel like I could never be a proper woman because of my small chest- it is a breath of fresh air to see real women being loved for who they are!
