Bras Across the Cuyahoga

(Cleveland, Ohio) It's certain that the Northern Ohio Breast Cancer Coalition Fund enjoys all the publicity about its latest project. Women were encouraged to give up a bra with a donation pinned to it.

After the fund-raising stunt, the bras are said to be destined for a cleaning and then given to area women's shelters.

"Blanche, my dear. You do look fetching in your unmentionables."

"Oh, Stanley. You noticed. It's the Cuyahoga River look. Imported from Cleveland, where I always can rely upon the kindness of strangers."

Cleaned or not, I can't imagine that many women would be interested in a bra that's been stretched across, and possibly submerged at least once, in the Cuyahoga River.
