You can buy a little pouch, that attaches/snaps to your bra straps and hangs in the middle. It looks like a very tiny shoulder purse, maybe 3 inches by 3 inches, and it has two straps with snaps at the ends. It can easily hold a 100 bill, credit card, and key.
I’ve only done it once or twice. I never carry a purse, and forthose times when I didn’t have pockets, I’ve kept my change in my shoe.
It think it’s a little tacky, especially if one keeps dipping in there for cash, but if you just need a place to put five bucks, then I don’t think it’s that big of a deal, providing you don’t make a big production out of it.
Vance: “Hey dude, how did your date with Linda go last night?”
Lance: “I struck gold, man!”
Vance: “Oh yeah? Didja show her the O-face?”
Lance: “Nah, but I got her bra off and made ten bucks!”
You have to be careful how you phrase stuff. My mom always told the one about the matronly lady who put some $10 bills in her bra. When the bill came, she was digging into her bra saying “Funny, I had three when I came in!”
I dont mind it in clubs and bars etc. as long as its in one of those teeny purses. But at a supermarket, I hate it. Even if its cold there are some places your going to sweat, I work at a supermarket and the few times this has happened, Ive hated touching the money and all I can think is long has that been in there and if its in there since early am and its now 5 or 6 pm, Ick!
Also the whole cleanliness thing bothers me too, I mean would you really be interested in putting something in your bra thats probably been touched by god knows how many other people?
Maybe this is just my bias from the media (i.e. Catch me if you Can), but I’ve always associated that with lowerclass women, esp. prostitutes.
I’ve never seen it happen in real life, though.
“Thar’s gold in them thar hills!”
This isn’t the same as the one described above but it’s pretty cool
I don’t think it’s a horrible thing to do provided you carry the cash/card/key on the top of the breast and pull it out in private.
I once worked in a store where I had to wittness a lady pulling her money out of her bra. All I can say is it was outright disgusting. She was fishing around looking for her bills. The money was damp and rumpled and ugh, bad memories.
Tacky? Yes, very. Perhaps because I associate it with that lovely experience (or I’m just a snob perhaps) but I tend to associate the people who do it as being without class.
It’s tacky.
But I do it.
When I bike, I often keep some money, DL, and my keys in a baggy inside my sports bra. (As ladies know, they are bigger than regular La Perla.)
It’s not like I need money and like that when I bike, but it’s good to have my just in case things with me, and in place where they won’t be splattered with mud.
Depends on what clothes I’m wearing, though. Some shorts and shirts have pockets.
If somebody sees you put that money in your bra, & targets you for a stickup job, that bra will be coming off, in front of the robber.
Think about that.
…money in my bra…
And you’re sitting on a gold mine.
Say, is that a roll of dimes in your bra or are you just glad to see me?
