"Bra on the outside of your clothes"....

Or, perchance, why not just wear a bra and nothing else??

I'm not talking about businesswomen cavorting down the street in lacy solar Frederick's bras (somewhat similar to the plot of a classic Seinfeld episode), but rather sports bras. Many women wear only a sports bra when jogging in the summer, while listening to an MP3 player or radio on their armband.

Seems like this would be a perfect application for a solar bra! (Well, this and maybe a solar-powered Wonderbra that made you look a full cup size bigger whenever the Sun was out. =)

Photo volcanic bra maybe better idea...

Solar panel is too big for bra and is locate underneath so that woman look like robot with very large computer chip for operate extreme complex female system. No sexy one bit this and no functional either.

Photo-voltaic bra--bad idea, bad implements.

Solar bra for who?

Is there a greater to meaning to the fact that the linked ad for a women's apparel product starts with the phrases "Most men" or that the model is pictured between two like dressed manequins. Is she real or is she fem-bot?
