women in league : dragons do crafty times
June 21st, 2009
So as y’all know, June is dedicated to Women in League. Why? Because ladies who love league are awesome. It’s a universal truth.
So to raise money for breast cancer, my beloved Dragons didn’t stop with the wearing of the Pink V. Oh no. My babies went ahead and….wait for it…decorated bras. Yes, my boys are not just awesome footy players, they are now also lingerie designers. So multiskilled!
It’s like when I participated in my highschool’s production of Into The Woods as a dancer, costume designer and manufacturer (fairy wings were my speciality) AND a gun makeup artist. Do you know how hard it is to create convincing wolf makeup on a public school budget? We were straight up deprived. I also had to share a dressing room with the male leads because and I quote ‘the dancers won’t mind getting changed in front of boys’. OH OKAY THEN.
Errr anyway. Let’s take a look at some of my boys’ booby creations shall we?

Unsuprisingly, Darius Boyd has gone the red tassels in the nipple area. I don’t know why I find his choice is so predictable, I just do. I can actually imagine him whacking on the bra, swirling the tassels around and giggling like an idiot. All while ‘Cherry Pie’ by Warrant plays in the background. Yep.

Justin Poore, a tassel lover? Now this IS a suprise. He seems so….chaste. And you think you know someone!

Dell’s is so disco! Hardly a shock considering his pre-game dance warm up. Did you all see it last week? One word – AMAZING. You just know he is listening to ‘Earth, Wind and Fire’. Sing it with me kids! Bad-de-ya…say you do remember, bad-de-ya…dancing in September.
[Kiki and I disagree on this if you're wondering. My guess is he was rocking out to Kool and the Gang. Get yo back up off the wall! - S]

I’m not quite sure why Jeremy Smith and Luke Priddis were forced to do this activity as a pair. Either way, that bra is outright hideous. Where is the design vision in this, hmmm? You would think with not one but TWO brains they could come up with something a bit less visually offensive than that. This is some broke-ass stripper from Kalgoorlie shit right there.

HAHA Hornbag! Oh my. Why is he so cute? And why did they give him such a tiny bra? Are they insinuating if he was a lady he would be flat chested? I love the dainty way he’s holding it, like it’s a historical artefact and he doesn’t want to cause it any harm with the acidity of his skin.
ps – Hot damn, that’s alot of red fluff. It looks like Elmo road kill.

MATT PRIOR WHY YOU SO MAD? Did Dell steal the last of the sequins or something? Or are you shitty you got a giant nanna bra? I enjoy the placement of the roses in the shape of crucifixes. Fabric flowers for Jesus! This photo is amazing x 1000 and I am going to print it out and put on the ‘Wall of Lolz’ in our offices.

AWWWWW BRETTY! Why you so cute baby? Squeeee! Look how proud he looks. Like a cat that just dropped a headless bird at your feet. It has feathers and everything! New from Bonds – The Dead Bird Bra, by Brett Morris.

Aaaah Beau Scott and his ruffles. Look at the work that’s gone into that bra! It’s so…neat. I bet Beau was the star of his Year 8 Home Economics class. Who woulda thought that such an aggressive player would be so particular when it comes to craft?

Hot Bitch are they … are they butterflies in the shape of V’s? REALLY? Lolz 4evaaaaa. Who know Coops had such delicate sensibilities. The thought of that sex machine of a man hunched over a bra gluing on fabric butterflies with a hot glue gun is literally the funniest thing in the entire world.
Now, I have made fun, because well … this is Errol. But I am so so proud of my club for doing something so adorable and altruistic.
The bras are being auctioned off and all the proceeds go to Joanne McKay Breast Cancer Foundation. The foundation was set up in memory of the late Joanne McKay, wife of ex Dragons legend, Brad, who sadly lost her battle with cancer in 2002. Go and check out the auction.

Hey .. FISH GOTTA SWIM.
meanwhile I’ve decided I wanna buy dell’s bra. you know I love mah disco. I can rock out in it to the crusaders. plus I like that both sides are different. IT’S A SURPRISE BRA.
I am sitting in the Qantas lounge and trying to supress loud guffaws…’elmo road kill’ is brilliant. I wonder who went to Lincraft and bought the supplies and more importantly why they bought tassles?
I like to imagine they sent the boys, like on project runway. you have $50 and one hour. now GO GO GO.
ahhhhh amaizng x1000. oh dragons.
omg i just realised that’s another way me and hornbag are alike! i wear small bras toooooo
i think brett wants to actually model his…
“All while ‘Cherry Pie’ by Warrant plays in the background.”
Kiki, how interesting that your stripper song is also Darius’ stripper song…
DONT U JUDGE ME FRANCES
ITS A GREAT SONG
I know it’s a great song! It’s always one of the first songs I put on pub jukeboxes.
SHEEEEEEEE’S MYYYYYY CHERRY PIIIIIIEEEEE
Matt Prior and Darius Boyd look uncomfortable. Its ok boys, they don’t bite!
Whereas Dell and Coops – they look like they know their way around the different ways to hold a bra. very fitting!
Brett is too cute for words!
oh
my
god
I kept forgetting to go look at the pics, so Im v glad you posted this.
They are all SO cute. Obviously I would never wear any but hey, im not really into frilly bras anyway (How is lace practical underneath a tshirt??)
I hope it raises lots of money though, and I wish there were photos of the boys designing them. I bet Matt Cooper and Brett Morris are the kind of guys who had their tongues sticking out the side of their mouths while concentrating with the glue gun.
omg yes i wish they had shots of them while they were making the bras, that woulda been so amaze.
YES! Frilly bras shit me too. Bumpy boobs under a top = anti-hot.
regarding the music causing Dell’s pre game boogie, here is the answer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qMnsRw4ejI
