March 25th, 2018: Pigeon Bras
During the Big One, WWII, rationing reminded everyone to conserve and make do because materiel and manufacturing
ability was all dedicated to the war effort. Some companies went under, some converted entirely to materials, some produced materials for the military along side the minimum required stuff for civilians. One company was Maidenform, best known for supporting breasts, to support pigeons. But they weren’t called bras, they were called vests, I suppose to avoid embarrassment among the boy pigeons. Paratroopers jumped with a carrier pigeon as it was the most secure and reliable system of sending messages back to the boss. Quote:
Pigeon vest blueprint states: "Important: Do not retain pigeon in vest in excess of six hours." I know you ladies know the pleasure of shedding that bra. Quote:
