ABOUT THIS BLOG

The news can get a little heavy sometimes, with debt crises, vicious markets and crappy earnings reports. So, we dispatched our crack reporters, Cindy Perman and Jane Wells, to find some levity amid all this seriousness. May we offer you a Keynesian cocktail with a side of bacon?

Why a Pony? To be clear, there were no ponies harmed in the making of this blog. The blog’s name, “There Must Be a Pony In Here Somewhere,” comes from an old joke, a favorite of Ronald Reagan’s, that essentially means, with a pile of you-know-what this big, there MUST be a pony—a bright side—in here somewhere!

The Bra That Doubles as a Putting Green

It’s hard to stand out in this economy but one Japanese lingerie maker has managed to do just that: It created a bra that also doubles as a putting green.

It's a bra! It's a golf course! It's a ... Hey, I think you know what it is.

Here’s how it works: If you unfurl the corset-like bra, it’s a five-foot putting mat with two holes — yep, exactly where you think they’d be. A built-in speaker will pipe “Nice shot!” if you make it in, Japan Today reports.

It comes with a skirt that doubles as a flag for the course that says “Quiet, please” across the back, to ensure some shred of civility is kept on this titillating course.

Hey, just because you’ve unfurled the garment for other purposes, doesn’t mean you can act like an animal!

This isn’t the first gimmicky garment from lingerie maker Triumph. If you read The Lingerie Post, like I do, you’d know that they’ve already done the solar-powered bra, the shopping-bag bra and the marriage-hunting bra.

Bra-vo!
