Hot new item from Japan: "Furry, heated bras may soon appear in some Japanese wardrobes as the country prepares for "Warm Biz" -- a nationwide government campaign urging workers to bundle up and save energy on heating this winter.The Warm Biz Bra, unveiled this week by Tokyo-based underwear maker Triumph International, is lined with material that the company says helps save warmth.
The bra also has removable pads that can be heated in a microwave or hot water -- as well as long, furry straps that wrap around the neck like a scarf, and matching shorts.
"Warm Biz lets you add a little fun and chic to office wear, and prevents global warming," Triumph says." ::Boston Globe via ::Urban Eco
