    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Cleavage_Day
    National Cleavage Day (abbreviated NCD)is an annual celebration in South Africa held in the month of April and sponsored by the brassiere marketer Wonderbra. National Cleavage Day was started in 2002 and held at the beginning of April every year. Wonderbra together with the Cosmopolitan magazine and 5fm, a SABC radio station mainly based in Johannesburg, sponsored the National Cleavage Day.

    Anita Meiring, public relations consultant for Wonderbra, explained the event, "It is a day for women to realise that their cleavage is something unique and that they should be proud of it". Paterson explained "It gives women a chance to be beautiful and glow in the furtive, yet appreciative, glances their cleavage evokes from men".

    Paterson said that the day is intended to be lighthearted amusement, however she claimed that the gross revenue will be donated to the Sunflower Fund, a non-governmental and non-profit organization based in Cape Town with a stated aim to help South African citizens diagnosed with leukemia and other life-threatening blood diseases. In the wake of the celebration in 2007, Paterson said "We will be donating money for every bra that gets sold in March. We will donate money to the Sunflower fund. We are having big parties, we have special National Cleavage Day cocktails that have been created and for every cocktail bought R2 will be donated to the sunflower fund".

    Not another company sponsored yearly "holiday" that serves nothing more than to increase sales of novelty items and cards.

    Oh wait, this is about boobs?

    HELL YES.

    And just how would we mark it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,630 ✭✭✭The Recliner

    Well that depends on if you view a wonderbra as a novelty item or not.

    It seems to be that on that day women make a point of tastefully sporting their cleavage a bit like a no uniform day in school and fundraising is done for charity and the gentlemen respectfully admire the lovely ladies.

    I prefer to think of it as a gift from the gods.

    Ok, now if we can get the women to show their cleavage while wearing a "school uniform".......

    I'm thinking we're on to something here!

    I think Ireland should have it, it would have to be in a warm month otherwise coats and scarves would cover them up on the streets


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 102 ✭✭The_M


    Now, you really never can go too far with a tasteful outfit like that though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,907 ✭✭✭LostinBlanch


    No we shouldn't.

    There I've said it.

    Wait? What have I just said???? :eek:

    Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes



    So in summary - yes. :D

    I can confirm that one of the Brotherettes wore such an outfit to the Back to School Beers last September.

    It was very tasteful.

    And popular.

    I think the Night of a Thousand Corsets was a more uplifting experience, though. And more relevant to this thread.

    I don't think I'm allowed put on a school uniform and show my cleavage. Would a nurse outfit do?


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 3,331 ✭✭✭Splinter


    well show us both and we can advise you of the outcome :)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,660 ✭✭✭Blitzkrieger


    See now that headline doesn't make it clear who's wearing the uniform....

    Well it's not me anyway...

    Well I can manage the skirt and the heels, but when I start undoing buttons people start calling the zoo reporting an escaped gorilla.

    Should we expect m00bs blitz?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,660 ✭✭✭Blitzkrieger


    Maybe - I think it's because I'm so good on the drums.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,581 ✭✭✭uberwolf


    myself and my buddies have always celebrated this day.

    It takes 2/3 days of consecutive nice weather in spring, and they blossom. I can feel it in the air, it's coming soon :)

    You know it when you see it.
