Howard Hughes was also a bra designer

Since we men are not allowed to post on the Ask a Woman forum, I shall add my two-cents worth here. One of my favorite Florida females on LPSG wrote that all of her H cup bras looked like they were designed by German engineers fired by the Panzer tank factory. In-fact the underwire bra may have been a collaboration between an eccentric billionaire owner of TWA and a famous Swedish-American aeronautical engineer.

Howard Hughes was a man of many talents. Although his first love was aviation, that obsession was closely followed (in no particular order) by the art of making movies and attractive women. His wealthy father died when he was in his mid-twenties, leaving young Hughes with the resources to pursue whatever his heart desired. For a period of time prior to a serious plane crash in 1946 Hughes lead a glamorous Hollywood lifestyle few could rival.

In 1941, while the Japanese were preparing to bomb Pearl Harbor, Howard Hughes was out at Red Rock Canyon north of Malibu and south of Calabasas filming a good old fashioned, big-budget western. Quickly Hughes' discerning eye had ferreted-out a serious flaw with the production; the camera did not do justice to star Jane Russell's generous mammaries. To make this startling revelation even worse, in the early forties there wasn't a single Victoria's Secret in greater Los Angeles. So with equal parts desire, determination and desperation, Howard Hughes then set-forth to build a better mousetrap for women's boobs.

Howard was a brilliant man without question-- nobody ascends on his own to the very celestial heights of wealth and power without a more than adequate intelligence quotient. But engineering a method to lift, separate and project a great set of tatas may have left Hughes momentarily frustrated. Fortunately, out at Lockheed aircraft company in Burbank there was an equally brilliant young Swedish-American aeronautical engineer from Michigan named Kelly Johnson. The genial, fair-haired, thirty-year-old Johnson had been put to work designing a futuristic, pressurized, four-engine commercial airliner that would make the ubiquitous Douglas DC-3 then flying the nation's airways look as obsolete as the covered wagon. Howard Hughes was a great man who could sense greatness in others like Kelly Johnson. Moreover Johnson didn't bitch (much) at the notion of those insane meetings with Howard Hughes in Pasadena, those nocturnal huddles over the Constellation project out at the Rose Bowl fifty-yard line in the wee hours of the morning. Perhaps...Hughes pondered...perhaps if he gave Kelly Johnson this small task to perform over lunch, the same genius that would later found Lockheed Skunk Works and design top secret spy planes in subsequent decades, could also invent a great hooter harness!


When
The Outlaw was released in 1943, a nation at war momentarily forgot the turmoil and instead fixated their gaze at Jane Russell's bosoms that seemingly defied gravity. Howard Hughes earned all the credit for inventing the underwire bra, but its designer may have been the same individual who gave birth to the Mach 3+ SR-71 out at Area 51.
