Hi Everybody, I hope that this week-end is going OK for all of my friends in Bloggerville! Last night, as I do every Saturday OR Sunday evening in the Summer time, My best friend Alex, aka Ajax and I, went on our usual road trip. We usually get started about 7:30 or so by getting a hot, fresh, and delicious cup of Tim Horton's coffee. We usually have a pre-roll of some sort of Herbal Extract on hand, and we head for the country...Let's see, from where we live, that usually takes about 5 minutes. We have no specific route, we just cruise, sip, puff, dodge deer, and listen to the Oldies station. Last night we ended up in a very small rural town called Bancroft. This is a typical little Berg, but it does have a great Biker Bar there called Pirates Cove. They have a great menu, and their beer is ice cold. On the week-ends they usually have a band, and the people are friendly. Last night was the owner of the bars birthday, his name is Scott Wilson, he has 2 great looking Harley's, and he supports all local Biking events. I don't know where I'm really going with this ramble, but please bear with me for a minute..
As I was sipping an Ice-Cold Budweiser for 2.25 each, I casually glanced up on the wall and noticed a line of bra's along the top of the ceiling. Now I've been to many bars in my life, and I've seen the same line of bra's on many bars ceiling's...But I have NEVER been there while one was being taken off for the collection. Maybe I don't stay late enough, maybe I don't buy the right Bimbo her Cold Bud, Maybe they buy them at the Goodwill and put them up in the daytime, I don't know, all I know is that I've never seen a removal of this private piece of wearing apparel in a bar. Well well, doesn't that sound like a segue'?????????
Mary Phelps Jacob, a teenage debutante in 1913, wanted to wear a Rose-Garland dress to a party one evening, but her corset cover kept peeping through the Roses around her bosom. So she took off the corset, pinned 2 handkerchiefs together, and tied them behind her back with some ribbon. "The result was delicious", she later recalled, "I could move about much more freely, a nearly naked feeling"..The contraption eventually became known as a "Brassiere"-
A name borrowed from the corset cover it replaced..( Jacob later became famous for riding naked through the streets of Paris.....on an elephant!!)
Have a great Sunday everyone..... Peace

I never heard that story of the origin of the bra before, but I can see why the sheer freedom of that first effort was enough to make Miss Mary want to get naked and ride elephants.:-)
How long before you stay 'til closing at the Pirates Cove, just to find out once and for all?:)
SERENA JOY.....
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
On being #1
(in more ways than 1)
I can't close a bar down anymore, I haven't done that crap since College days..But maybe if you were there, I could be coerced???
Thanks for stopping by on a lazy Sunday afternoon BG..xoxoxox
Woo-hoo! I'll take #1. I wouldn't mind helping you close down the bar, but you have to promise to protect my brassiere from those rowdy pirates, BD.:-)
Maybe those rowdy Pirates should be protecting you from ME???
Galen? is there another undergarment raid in your region? My father used to boast of a panty raid by him with the boys at the hostel in Michigan. They all raided the Girl's hostel & ran way with their panties. The panites were later displayed in their rooms,all framed up, as trophies!
Galen,
When putting on my bra, I shall think of you.
Do you think they could? They look like some pretty scrawny pirates to me.:-)
Mona..?
I don't think they have had a panty raid since the 30's....
Strumpet,
You wear a bra?
xoxox
Serena..?
I don't think that anyone could protect you from me...
( boy that sounds creepy )
just don't worry about a thing..OK? xoxoxox
Okey-dokey.:)
xox
i've worn many a bra and i've worn a corset too.....may i just say ....bless the inventor of a bra!
i wanna make a contribution to the biker wall!
So..what? I don't go to bars much--chicks just take off their bras and pin them on the wall? How curious...

Now I loveeee that kind of information. Fashion tawk with the gman, who knew?
You have inspired me, I am going to do a post on Amelia Bloomer....
Um, I think Lime has my extra bra!
He he....Pats Snowelf on the head gently...
Noo, honey, the women get really sauced, the men buy them lots of drinks, then they do a little strip for the men.
The "pulling the bra out through the shirt armholes" is also acceptable provided you do it sexily. No, no, no! I never, ever have.
And sometimes, said friend will accidentally drunk/high dial you :)
You saved me from adding my bra to a famous wall with that call.
Serena..xox
Limey..
Honey, is there a wall big enough for your bra?
I mean...WOW!!!
Yes SnowElf,
Susi..er some chicks do!!
Susie-Cue!!!!
Baby I love you,
Sue-Zay-Que!!
Amelia Bloomer.....
How about Joyce G-String?
( yes Susie, you need to have a little talk with Snow)
xoxox
Jenn?
I GOT A BIIIIIIIIG MOUTH!!
xoxoxoxoxox
Pirates Cove, huh? I always wanted to be a pirate's wench! And though I can't recall where right this second, I have just recently ready that Mary Phelps Jacob story! xoxoxox
SnowWhite Baby!!
Thanks for the validation sweetie.
Sometimes I think that no one believes me!!!
So they DID have a panty raid there. I was always skeptical about that.& I guess my father was boasting of what he had heard about!!
in 30s!! that is ancient.. that is pre WW 2 !!
They did that in those times too!!!
Jesus!! (I'm still catholic, but not practicing... ) what those crazy American girls aren't doing to get some attention!!!!
I did many, many bars downtown Montreal, and never came across something like that... And 'they' say we are wild in Quebec????
Wait a minute.... We may be wild, but we don't go crazy for a few drinks... ;-)))...lolololol...
Mona I think that is a college thing and it has been a while since I have heard someone bring that up. Of course I rarely find myself on a college campus these days.
I could not help but think about tie-dye when Lime mentioned making a contribution to the lineup.
Sounds like a good time G.
Pirates Cove, I like the name!
Buy them at Goodwill and put them up in the daytime??????
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
I would much rather ride thru the streets of Paris naked on my harley than an elephant, but hey, to each their own!
Peace!
Mona,
Yes It's an old custom
Searabbit,
No hanging bra's in Quebec? Sacre Bleu!!!!!
xoxox
Thats right Barman,
I'll now be looking for a Tie-Dye bra...
JD,
I would much rather have that too...YOWZER!!!!!
