Why Mariah Should Have Bought The Bra Disc (And You Should Too)

You’ve gotta love wardrobe malfunctions when they happen live on morning television. This very thing just occurred to Mariah Carey during her singing appearance on “Good Morning America”. Hitting those high notes comes with a cost, and the cost for Ms. Carey this morning was her back zipper, which popped right open.

 

This wouldn’t be a big deal except when a zipper on a gal’s strapless dress pops open, her girls tend to pop out. Which explains why Mariah was clutching her dress and appealing to her roadies and GMA host Laura Spencer for help.

Laura Spencer was clueless. That girl may know her way around a flea market, but she does not know her way around a wardrobe malfunction. Laura held up a large, manila folder in order to shield Mariah from the camera.  

 

A manila folder? Really? For the biggest selling artist since Elvis Presley? I am reminded of a phrase that is a favorite of my friend Paul, who is a longtime teacher. Paul is a planning maniac who likes to say, “Proper prior planning prevents *iss *oor performance.”

 

This is harsh but true. GMA should have planned better. Along with some throat lozenges they should have given Mariah a nice pair of bra liners. These are also known as nipple covers, but I shy away from using that phrase because I wrote about them once before, and it upset my dad so much I had to take the post down.

 

But my dad’s on a business trip this week and too busy to read “guru girl” so I think I’m safe in writing about nipple covers – ahem, bra liners -- today.

Regular gals can benefit from these too. Maybe you’re not headlining the GMA stage this summer but chances are you’ll be sporting a tank top some time. If your tank-top-wearing self goes anywhere near extreme air conditioning, you’re gonna have yourself a situation.

 

The only place we want to see headlights is the highway. Get yourself some bra liners so this doesn’t happen. Or arm yourself with a Laura Spencer approved large, manila folder.  (Bra liners are available for a song -- hear that Mariah Carey? -- at most Hobby Lobby stores and also online.(Bra disc nipple covers available on amazon for around $18.

Happy summer, guru girls!
