The Spaghetti Tank and its relative bra-ness
« on: November 08, 2004, 02:17:25 pm »
Dear Mistah Onstad

Does the spaghetti tank contain built-in bra-style support, or must one bring one's own? Sales (well, one sale, actually) depend on the answer to this question.

Thanking you, you most venerable of graphic artists and comedic authors, &c, &c,

[ Franz. ]

I understand what this post is about now, but I must say that at first it was invoking some interesting visuals.  A tank full of spaghetti, held up by support system composed of bras.

Do they usually?  That sounds deeply unpleasant.

They don't have underwires or anything, but they do often have padded cups built in.

I've only seen built-in "bra-style support" in, like, tank-style swimsuit tops; if they make regular tank tops that way, I haven't seen them, and I agree that it seems fairly pointless and uncomfortable in a garment where you could just wear a bra underneath (unlike swimsuits, where you can't). Man, make it strapless if you have to.

Obviously I don't have any personal wearing type of experience (and it wouldn't be helpful if I did) but my wife swears by these. So I guess it's maybe a case-by-case basis type thing.

My SO has camisoles that have built ins. And those look an awful lot like tank tops to my untrained eye.

The spaghetti tank does not have any interior lining or support. You can find more information at the manufacturer's website: http://www.americanapparelstore.com/4311.html

Thanks for asking.

Camisoles I guess I can also see, although my personal camisole experience has not involved such contraptions; speaking from my experience, this whole "built-in bra" thing only happens on clothes for which it would be impossible or pointless to wear an additional bra (swimwear, lingerie). Tank tops, for all of their difficulties in this regard, are bra-capable.

Has your lady friend considered strapless bras, Franz.? They do work wonders.

Well, this is a spaghetti-tank though. You would have to wear a strapless bra, although I have noticed also the young ladies now often wear these bras with clear straps that although shiny are a lot less noticeable.

Mostly, I'm just in this discussion because I dig boobs.

an unrelated, but personally hilarious story:

when i was a young lad, my friends and i would often travel to a movie theater some 30 minutes away in oak creek.

there, it seemed, the fashion was for young ladies to see how many spaghetti straps they could wear at any given time--five tank tops, three brightly colored bras, maybe some loose hanging straps just to make up numbers.

even though they were wearing more clothes than the ladies we usually hung out with, we found these strap-adorned harlots to be the bee's goddamned knees.

so don't knock the bestrapped. at one point in 1997, in oak creek, wisconsin, i wanted to go out with them.

Acknowledged -- the boobs won.  That doesn't make 'em right.  They're still boobs.
