Boys / Mens Bra - Big in Japan

So this is the new big thing in Japan, eh?  From a male Canadian point of view I just don’t get it, but to each-their-own!

Queen’s Fashion Designer in Trouble

Hardy Amies, the fashion house that dressed Britain’s Queen Elizabeth for more than 30 years, plans to file for bankruptcy after failing to find new sources of funding, though it added that talks continue. Hardy Amies’ shares were suspended on London’s junior Alternative Investment Market on Friday after it said major shareholder Arev Brands Ltd was unable to offer any more financial support.

A steady stream of Britain’s retailers have gone into administration, a form of creditor protection, this year as shoppers cut spending amid rising food, fuel and mortgage costs.

Hardy Amies was appointed official dressmaker to Queen Elizabeth II in 1955.

In a long career on London’s renowned tailoring thoroughfare, Savile Row, Amies dressed pop stars like the Beatles and Rolling Stones and designed suits for England’s winning 1966 World Cup soccer team, as well as costumes for films, including “2001: A Space Odyssey.”

He died in 2003 at the age of 93.

Hardy Amies shares closed at 1.25 pence on Thursday, valuing the business at about 2.8 million pounds ($5.2 million).

Bad Fashion is a Crime

Here is an intersting fashion statement from some crook.  Police in a Colorado town are searching for two robbers whose masks were constructed from women’s thong underwear.

A surveillance video released this week by police in Arvada, Colorado, shows two unarmed men inside the convenience store. They stole an undisclosed amount of cash and cigarettes in the May 16 robbery.

One man wore a green thong and the other wore blue.  Each thong barely covered the man’s nose, mouth and chin and left the rest of his face exposed. One also wore a pink backpack in which he stuffed the stolen items.

The suspects were described as being in their 20s. One had a left arm tattoo. Rumor has it the one with the green thong will go to jail for double the time because it clashed with his brown jacket.
