For those of you who do not have Facebook, Twitter, Black Berry Messenger or any other social networking site or app you will have absolutely no idea what I am about to say.
So yesterday the whole Bra frenzy was started by women in Detroit who wanted to raise awareness about breast cancer. Private messages were sent to Facebook Inbox’s, DMs were sent through Twitter, BBM had plenty of blasts and hundreds of text messages were sent telling women to update their status with the color of the bra they are wearing and if they are not wearing a bra simply put none. The men went crazy. So many of my male friends sent me messages asking “What’s up with the colors?” It was a “secret” between us women and it was so much fun!
The word quickly spread and soon networks all over the internet caught on and the men were just clueless. They decided to create their own “private message” which was just disgusting, but of course they didn’t get as much attention as we did. I think this was a great way to spread awareness and it spread so quickly too. The unity amongst all of the women was also amazing! Many people did not know why they were updating their status, they thought it was all a game, but it was actually spreading awareness.
To the women in Detroit who thought of this idea….great job and thank you… let us continue to use these social networking sites for a greater purpose, not the usual drama.
