Busting out in China
2006-04-26
I'll bet the Heathen Chinee are gonna milk this one for all it's worth...
Bra producers have been forced to offer bigger cup-sizes in China because improved nutrition is busting all previous chest measurement records. "It's so different from the past when most young women would wear A- or B-cup bras," Triumph brand saleswoman Zhang Jing told the Shanghai Daily from the Landmark Plaza of China's commercial hub. "You...never expect those thin women to have such nice figures if they are not plastic."
Or in Japanese anime/manga.
The report, seen on the daily's Web site Tuesday, said that the Hong Kong-based lingerie firm Embry Group no longer produces A-cups for larger chest circumferences and has increased production of C-, D- and E-cup bras to meet pressing demand.
So it's not only the Chinese economy that's expanding
The Beijing Institute of Clothing Technology released a report last week saying the average chest circumference of Chinese women has risen by nearly 0.4 inch to 33 inches since the early 1990s, the daily said.

This phenomenon, it said, was due to women eating more nutritiously and taking part in more sport. Similar growth in the average height of children prompted a rethink last year in Beijing on the height allowance for free bus rides.
"Beat it! You ain't no kid!"
"Mom!"
"What is it, Number One Son?"
"Lookee here, lady... I... I... Mamma mia!"

#11  Where 'ya been Zenster?

Thank you for asking, 6. New job, 33% more pay, great boss, full medical and dental benefits, second in command, whip@ss 15.4" screen 100G disk 1G RAM business laptop, company cell phone and I get to draw my own roadmap for success. All that plus I now sit on the advisory boards of three different local culinary schools. Yup, this puppy's quite busy these days. If I don't watch out, I'll have too much fun.

#10  This ties in with the Iraqi "Baby Milk Factory" story of GW1 somewhere, but I cannot find the linkage.

#7  Growth in this sector is viewed as a definite lift to what has often been viewed as an under-wired portion economy. While a pattern of tight squeezing has often been the result, beneficiaries of the current situation will quite likely eye this expansion in a more kindly light. Although this may well represent an all-to-real strain upon an already strapped sector, once fettering restraints are unhooked the subsequent release on previously constricted assets will likely receive a warm reception. Economic pundits anticipate an upward trend in rising interest rates and foresee hidden rewards nestled within these heretofore undeveloped regions. All together, this spells out triple digit increases in positions once cupped by considerably less accommodating carriers.

#3  There's a Hooters in Singapore. A friend of mine used to remark, "Hooters, don't have." (It's a sort of Singlish joke)

#2  There's been a Hooters in Shanghai for a while...I've been wanting to go there next time I'm in town. From what I understand, they're just standard Chinese girls, not big at all.

And I can't say that I've encountered any of this larger cup size personally, despite my dedication to investigate this issue as thoroughly as possible.
