BEAUTY AND THE BRA: GET REAL!

``You'll feel self-confident, in control, sexy and beautiful. It works wonders.'' All this from a $26 bra that has wires and ``cookies''? Get real!

It sounds as comfortable as the corset must have been. Beauty comes from within ourselves, not from a bra.

Our men friends are walking around confident, in control and sexy. Are they wearing anything with spandex, wires and cookies? Instead of ``Excuse me, I have to powder my nose,'' with it be, ``Excuse me, I have to reshape my cookies''?

The good of this wonder bra with wings (can it fly?) is that women who need this uplift may choose to do it without danger to their bodies.
