Bras That Made History
From our first training bra to the fancy La Perlas we charged up last week, bras are at once a girl's best friend and her worst enemy. Empowering and sexy but sometimes cumbersome and awkward, the bra has long been linked to women's rights, feminine identity, and, yes, boobs of all kinds. History's also heaving with events where the brassiere has taken center-stage, but since the birth of the bra goes back to BC, we've compiled a list of modern moments—like Jane Curtin's infamous on-air (and apparently, imageless otherwise we'd have featured it—rats!) statement of her own sexiness for boob-tube favorite, Saturday Night Live. Sexy, epochal, and, oh yeah, silly, these intimates did way more than just keep the girls in place!

"They're more than just underwear to me, Mr. Farkus. Two cups in the front, two loops in the back, how do they do it?"

Her own bra, by the way, not some contraption Hughes ordered.
