Super Terrific Japanese Thing: Nice Cup
?Reiko Aoyama, who is lingerie maker Triumph’s image girl for 2010,
holds the new Nice Cup in Bra, designed to appeal to Japan’s busy
golfing women. The green corset-style garment can be removed and
unrolled to create a 1.5-meter-long putting mat. When the user sinks a
putt into one of the cups, a built-in speaker pumps out a
congratulatory “Nice shot!” The bra also features pockets for extra
golf balls and tees, and a detachable flag pin that serves as a score
pencil. The bra set comes with a skirt with the words “Be Quiet”
printed on the rear, which doubles up as a flag for use on the course.
Well. this seems incredibly practical. Because I can’t even tell you how many women I know who love golf, and would love to have some kind of portable putting device that they could wear. And then play on. Naked, because they’ve had to take off their clothes to use it. What a wonderful device for women. Thanks to John OD for the tip.
