Lifesaving Lingerie

January 5th, 2007

In the news:

A woman watching New Year’s Eve fireworks from a picnic table found out that her bra can do more than lift and support: It also slowed a falling bullet.
The .45-caliber bullet struck Debbie Bingham, 46, after someone fired a gun into the air about 20 minutes before midnight. She still needed stitches, but the wound might have been much worse except for the bra strap, police spokesman George Kajtsa said.

Bingham, who was in town from Atlanta, said she is thankful for the undergarment, which she said was “very cheap.�

“I’d love to have a couple more of those bras,â€� she said.

Maybe Victoria’s Secret will launch a kevlar-based collection?
