Lingerie World
Billboards have become virtually invisible. Scars upon the landscape that I choose to hope will heal and vanish if not picked at and simply left alone. Ignoring these blights on the scenery leaves my mind free for the necessities of driving; like changing my CD selection and swearing at drivers who hadn’t the decency to stay off the highway until I was safely ensconced in my garage.
Until yesterday.
Yesterday I was distracted, mid-curse, by a huge advertisement promoting the wonders of a land called Lingerie World. Immediately, I was lost in a dream of what such a planet might be like.
Entire mountain ranges of brassieres linked by hooks and eyelets to which folks would travel for miles, just to witness the grandeur of locations such as ‘The Playtex Range’; Forests of teddies losing lace in the fall and renewing their tatted fringe every spring; Oceans of underpants…okay, I’ll have to rethink that one. But the possibilities are endless.
Jerked from my reverie as my tires hit the rough shoulder, I resumed my lecture to the Cadillac on my left and continued home.
But, this morning I awoke, still wondering what it might be like if there were such a place. What would life be like in a world where ‘Victoria’ was completely unable to keep a ‘Secret’?

Well, one thing for sure. Someone figured out how to make a billboard that got attention!

True. Probably not where my attention should have been while I was behind the wheel, however.

Funny stuff, Pinhole.
In Singapore, there no billboards of the sort you see in the US. Every time I go back to the States, it takes a day or two to get used to it. It's very distracting.
I hope, by the way, that the Cadillac didn't fall asleep during your lecture. Mine always seem to have that effect on the listeners.

Thanks PC, and I think I was yelling to loud for anyone to fall asleep.

I need to call my ticket agent Right Now. I only hope that Lingerie World is inhabited by Heidi Klum clones.
What do you think the Visa requirements would be?

I have no idea what the visa requirements would be. Would you just be visiting, or looking for employment?

Such a fitting post to celebrate the 100th birthday of the brazziere

I, honestly, had no idea. I suppose this rules out that genius thing. Damn.

When I see billboards, I cannot help but think of the poet Ogden Nash (not associated with the Nash Rambler) who said and/or wrote "I think that I shall never see a billboard lovely as a tree. Perhaps, unless the billboards fall, I'll never see a tree at all."
My sister, Lingerie Falls, doesn't care much for trees and has often found her thrill in forests of teddies which, as Montucky will verify, are on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountain Front.

I like Ogden Nash, he gets pretty good mileage from his verse.
