Always on the lookout for fashion breakthroughs, the Sassistas! came across something we had to bring to your attensass: Strap Perfect: The Ultimate Bra Strap Solution! Click here to visit the official website! Treat yourself to the short video hosted by Taylor Baldwin. We promise you won't be sorry.
This is one miracle product, no? How often is your day ruined by "stubborn bra straps"? How often do you commit "summer's #1 fashion faux pas"? Wouldn't you like to have your weight redistributed so you look at least one cup size larger? Wouldn't you like to get a beautiful, instant boost to your silhouette?
Who wouldn't?
Look what you get for the low, low price of $19.99 (plus $7.95 P&H): 18 Strap Perfect clips! 6 in clear, 6 in nude, and 6 in black. Wait, there's more! You also get 96 strips of invisible style tape!
The Sassistas! believe that there are other uses for these clips and invisible style tape. Perhaps Strap Perfect can be a swimming nose clip, too. Or the invisible tape can be used to mount photos in a scrapbook -- on onto one's bosom. Can you think of other uses for the clips or tape?
One last thing. After exhaustive sassearch and testing, the Sassistas! believe that our solution to stubborn bra straps -- one that we've been using for years -- is much more economical than Strap Perfect. Click here for an exclusass view. Don't you agree that our solution is much more durable at half the price?
Whatcha think -- the "After" photo in the far right is a product of PhotoShop. Yes or no?
Another question: why would one wear a bra under a sports bra?

Could one use those clips to hang holiday tree ornaments?

I didn't sleep well again last night and clicked on Sassistas! this morning in hopes of a light-hearted topic and what do I find? A new problem of which I was never aware of how serious it was...bra straps showing. Flann, must we deal with these serious issues all the time.
I watched the video with Alec Baldwin(?). I didn't know he did drag. The miracle of the clips was amazing. I couldn't believe the number of strapped things a woman could wear, but there they all were. A miracle bra strap solution. Thanks to the Sassistas! I'll never worry about that problem again for only $19.95 plust $7.95 for shipping and handling and another $7.95 shipping and handling for my second FREE set of clips and tape. So, for almost $40 I will have 9 bra strap clips and 80 pieces of tape. What a deal! I almost bought them for friends.
The clips would make great paperclips or Ninja discs (if you sharpened the edges).
No Photoshop. All those women had to do was throw their shoulders back and stand erect and their cup size increased. Everyone knows that trick.

"The best strap-perfect deal ever offered on TV!" How could I have missed all those previous offers! Whew. Glad I didn't miss the best one. What a deal! Will those clips work as furniture slides?

Well, my mother & grandmother would probably have been all in for this thing "in the day" - always felt they had "sloping" shoulders so bra straps persistently slid off their shoulders. But I've certainly felt plagued by slippery bra straps, sometimes feeling like Daisy Mae from Lil Abner (which is frustrating!).
So I understand that aspect of the device, but the rest seems a bit hokey. Kinda like this one better, since it can be dressed up...You know me, I'm all about the sparkly stuff:

half-a and Jersey. I'm a little disappointed that you have no comment on the Sassistas! sasslution. Did you try it and it didn't work?
While on the tread mill about an hour ago, I too thought of the paperclip alternative half-a. Not certain how much of a threat the Strap Perfect is as a weapon unless they can boost your opponent into a wall, if you catch my drift, er . . . LIFT.
Jersey: furniture slides! Brilliant. Guess you know what your housewarming gift will be.
I will give half-a credit for recognizing the seriousness of this problem. Thinking back to my disastrous SAT and GRE results, I'm pretty certain that I was having a stubborn-bra-strap day while taking those exams. I'm certain other personal disasters could have been averted as well, not to mention national disasters . . . need I mention Janet Jackson's wardrobe "malfunction"?
Posted by: Flannista | August 17, 2009 at 09:06 AM
A BRA BARRETTE? Sweet Jesus, what will they think of next? And it's available from "Oo La La Gifts."
Chryso, darlin' -- where do you find this stuff? I really DIG that it's also known as the "BB". Now that is something suitable for hanging holiday ornaments, no?
Posted by: Flannista | August 17, 2009 at 09:09 AM
I thought you'd like that! ;-) And definitely perfect for holiday ornaments!
Posted by: Chrysosistah | August 17, 2009 at 09:18 AM
And yeah - NO! Flannista, I will not be putting that duct tape on me or mine - haven't you seen the fashion disasters that causes?:

"X" marks the spot, I guess, Chryso.
Tit for tat.

I might try these clips just to achieve the cleavage. Quite impressive. Her hair even looks fuller in the second photo.
Makes me wonder what the Sham Wow! can REALLY do for me.
Posted by: Matissta | August 17, 2009 at 09:49 AM
Matiss -- I never noticed the difference in her hair! Also, her teeth looked much whiter! For me to achieve any cleavage at all, I'll need all 18 of these things, on top of our sasslution.
You think these things can lift our sagging economy?
And just thinking about what Sham Wow! can REALLY do for you is, well, all a bit much for a Monday morning. Know this: I'm willing to give up the duct tape to see what it might do.
Posted by: Flannista | August 17, 2009 at 10:01 AM
The ingenuity of man . . . sharpened discs! LOL which means laugh out loud, according to my daughter-in-law. I thought it meant lots of love . . .
Still not awake. Love to everyone in this giddy sphere.
Posted by: frida | August 17, 2009 at 10:11 AM
Oh, Flannista, you didn't just say "tit for tat"... I'm betting you heard the groans of pain from here...
That Photoshop stuff Matissta referred to is so prevalent/obvious now, I don't believe any of those ads or magazine covers - they are all so manipulated, it's rather revolting. I hate to think what this manipulation does to young kids.
Posted by: Chrysosistah | August 17, 2009 at 10:14 AM
LOL can mean Lots of Love in this giddy 'sphere, frida. It's okay, too, that you aren't yet awake. Too much partying last night, I guess.
Yes, Chryso -- you read it loud and you read it clear. Yes, I did hear the groans of pain . . . I work hard to stay abreast of my beloveds in the 'sphere.
Every time I see the cover of Oprah Magazine, I think, "Photoshop." Wonder if she uses Strap Perfect. Heck, she has enough money to pay someone to hold her bra straps out of sight.
Anyone have any opinions on the product name, "Strap Perfect"?
Posted by: Flannista | August 17, 2009 at 10:35 AM
Oh, my, further groans - I'm still chortling. Thanks for the laughs!! ;-D
If I had the money Oprah has, I would have a masseuse every evening before bed. A personal yoga teacher every morning. And a maid every week. (other things too, but this isn't the venue ;-)
Ha! Yea, the perfect strap is NO strap, thanks...

I saw an infomercial that sells a product that goes with the boob boost provided by the bra barrettes:
http://skincare.lovetoknow.com/Instant_Face_Lift_Tape
I saw it demonstrated and it works like a charm. You'll love it.
The wonders of tape. It's magical.
Posted by: half-a-sista | August 17, 2009 at 11:14 AM
Flann, I think you misspoke. It's "Tape for tit" not "Tit for tat".
I wonder what the bra barrette would do if used on a jock strap.
Posted by: half-a-sista | August 17, 2009 at 11:16 AM
I think "Boob Boost" is a much better (and more accurate) name for this product than Strap Perfect.
"Instant Face Lift Tape"?!! I didn't see how much it was and/or if one needs special training to apply it.
"Tape for tit" IS better than "tit for tat".
However, I'm wondering half-a how the bra barrette would be re-purposed as a jock strap. I don't want to wonder too long as the phrase "tea-bagging" keeps popping up and well, there we are all over again.
Posted by: Flannista | August 17, 2009 at 11:33 AM
Flann, here is a site that shows examples of how the tape works and it's only $25 (?) and refills are only $7.95. I think other sources of the miracle tape exist and this is only one place to get it:
http://professionalsecrets.stores.yahoo.net/artharinfacl.html
No, special training is needed to apply it. It's tape for heaven's sake.
You are obsessed with tea bagging, but I will not cater to your prurient interests and facilitate your addiction.
I think the bra barrette could work in one of two ways. It would enhance the buttocks if place under the curve of the buttocks. Or it would lift and enhance the pouch area if snapped into place below the waistband on the back of the jock.
The bra barrettes would make conversation-making coasters for flannitas at the afternoon socials at the Flann mansion. Bookmarks too. Small frisbees.
I have an idea for a infomercial. A man would walk around a major city with a box of bra barrettes and offer to take care of unsightly bra straps. I think the personal experiences of thousands of "real" women would make the product sell faster.
Posted by: half-a-sista | August 17, 2009 at 12:01 PM
with four bra barrettes you could strap two to each shoe and have ice skates.
You could glue a magnet in the middle and have a place to hang papers on your fridge...a variation on a fridge magnet. I bet Chryso already has one.
Posted by: half-a-sista | August 17, 2009 at 12:54 PM
Oh, no I don't...nor do I want one, thanks anyway ;-)
But I do think the guy walking around and fixing errant straps sounds like an excellent idea. I've already been tempted on many occasions to do that, but have managed to restrain myself to date. Figured I'd come off like that cranky ol' lady in the ads down here for Kane Furniture "Get a room!"...
Posted by: Chrysosistah | August 17, 2009 at 01:13 PM
I, too, love the half-a's marketing idea -- would Info Man also apply the Strap Perfect in public? Guess he's have to to demonstrate how it works. Chryso apparently has experience doing that in public . . .
I love the idea of conversation-making coasters, half-a. Brilliant. Also bookmarks. Ice skates! Stop it, man, I can't take anymore.
You all need to know that I found yet another use for the Strap Perfect. I put two on a rubber band and they fit perfectly as a swimming suit top. Plus I can hang my swimming towel from them for easy drying. I think that's brilliant, too.
Posted by: Flannista | August 17, 2009 at 02:08 PM
Flann, going bottomless to the pool, you siren, you! If you decide to wear a bottom to the Bra Barrette suits, I suggest you take two or three or four more and attach them together to make the bottom of BB suit...one for the front area, and three to cover the posterior divide...perhaps two in front. You be the judge.
Of course, info man would be handling the bra straps in public. How else could he demonstrate the AMAZING lifting abilities of these seemingly inconsequential pieces of plastic.
Earrings. They would make perfect earrings if we put rhinestones on them.
Epaulets for our generals, drum major/ette(s).
Eggo waffle plates although the holes would pose some problem if the person eating the eggo used syrup and/or butter.
Ikebani flower arrangement holders.
See they aren't just bra barrettes.
Posted by: half-a-sista | August 17, 2009 at 03:32 PM
Well, if I go to the public pool bottomless, there will be sirens, that's for sure. Thanks for instructions on how to piece together a matching bottom, half-a. Totally slipped my mind . . . and butt.
Isn't "epaulets" the weirdest word for those things? Seems like it ought to be a small French pastry -- or Eggo waffle.
Kudsass for the Ikebani flower arrangement holders. I say we just buy a whole bunch of these things and send them to Jersey -- ASAP -- as she is making the big move on Friday. How have I lived so long without them?
