Bra Required.

Women the world over strap on the old over the shoulder boulder holders every morning.  And these bras come in many sizes, shapes, colors, designs, blah, blah.  But the common denominator in these bras is that they keep a woman from bouncing around - and as uncomfortable as many bras are - daily activities without a bra for those who don't pass the "pencil test" are much more comfortable with a bra on than without.

But, wearing a bra has never been a federally mandated law - unlike the whole no shirt, no shoes, no service thing.  But now, a court in Germany has ruled that bosses have the right to order female employees to wear bras in the workplace.  Ohh, AND the length of her fingernails can be determined by her immediate supervisors.  Oh, and there is more... immediate supervisors can also demand that hair must be clean and groomed.  Although, the men haven't escaped..  men can wear beards - but supervisors can request employees to keep it well trimmed. 

You think that those requirements are enough?  Oh no!  Guess what... Bras must only be white or flesh colored because the court is concerned that bright colors and patterns might "shine through" and cannot be concealed with an undershirt.  But those English women are allowed to go crazy!  The court didn't make a ruling to ban certain shades of hair color or nail polish!  Lucky girls.

Now, personally...  I'm a fan of workplace decorum and decency.  Wear your bras!  Cover up your womanly assets in the office.  But damn it you stupid British courts - don't tell women what COLOR bra to wear.  My mom once told me that even under the most conservative business suit, wear sexy underwear that makes you feel good!  Now, I've posted before how bras for girls with big boobs aren't all that cute - but that's a problem with the industry - not a legal mandate.  You can still find sexy bras in black **gasp** red, or animal print!  So wear that sexy underwear under your conservative business attire and walk around like a sexy woman you are - knowing that you are hiding a bit of a secret diva under your suit.  And the Brits can kiss our American ass :)
