Girl-Wonder, founded on the idea of activism and collective action, is officially joining and supporting P.O.W.E.R. In Comics’s Bra Blitz.
Lisa Neptune, founder of P.O.W.E.R., is looking into ordering overstocked/slightly damaged bras from Enell for use in mailing campaigns to major comic publishers. For those unfamiliar with the network, P.O.W.E.R. in Comics is a social network devoted to the promotion of women and minorities in comic creation, comic store/ publishing house ownership, and simple comic enjoyment.
At the moment, she would like to get a head count of members interested, and how many bras they would like. Once she has that, we can get a price estimate out. Also, begin collecting the names and addresses of those you feel should receive a letter and bra. Those will be discussed and posted at a later date. If you’re interested, please leave a comment at the forum topic.
This sounds very interesting. So, we just contribute money to buy bras? Or can we contribute old/damaged bras (because lately, my washer and dryer have been quite vindictive against them)?
I’m kinda confuzzled but I would very much like to contribute in any way that I can.

Whip – Hi – I’m the lisa that’s discussed in the post. Anyway, what I’m doing is trying to find a bulk price for bras for anyone who wants to participate and not use any of their own. If you have some of your own that you’re willing to part with, that’s great too.
I’d like us to mail these bras, along with letters, to some of the top execs at Time Warner and Marvel Entertainment, as well as the EIC’s, and possibly even some of the offending artists – so they get a better idea of the actual size and shape of the average breast.
