Yeah, it’s been around for a few years. Still good for a laugh though. (Yes it’s real and it *did* run in the papers in 2005. The mind boggles.)… Read more

It’s a bra! It’s red! It’s sexy! It’s a sexy red bra! That doubles as a face mask. Clever, especially given the times we live in today.

Luckily, the wonderful design of the bra is already in the shape of a face mask and so with the addition of a few design features, the Emergency Bra enhances the efficiency of minimizing contaminated bypass air flow. – Emergency bra shoulder straps which easily convert into adjustable head straps, providing firm fixation of the mask – Flex inserts along the top rim of the bra caps which allow to shape the masks tightly around the nose bridge area – Inner cap liner/filter which acts like a butterfly valve during inhale cycles Erm.

So…here’s a mini recap of what we did. 1) Bolt Bus from Philly to NY – only $11 a person and 2 hours…very hard to beat. Bus had Wi-Fi and I was easily able to finish up the last of my first-pass-pages, so excellent resource. 2) Library Hotel – cute little boutique hotel, not too far away from Times Square. Had a tiny rooftop bar on the 14th floor along with a greenhouse and a reading room. Which is where we hung out for a bit after we checked in. (Along with a very taste cheese and fruit plate and wine.) 3) Basso56 – Killer hole-in-the-wall Italian food for dinner. Not cheap but not super expensive, and a lot of bang… Read more
