My (under)wired website

If you dropped by yesterday, you might have noticed a few changes hereabout. Yes, by tradition, The BradLands was tranformed for a day into an altogether different site. This year, it was The BraLands, a tribute to the lacey, lovely foundation garment we all know and that some of us actually love.

Alas, All Fools Day 2005 has passed into mammary memory, but if you'd like to relive The BraLands experience, these screenshots of the site will have to suffice:

It was great fun (and surprisingly difficult) seeking out a few brassiere-related links for the weblog yesterday. Thanks to all the readers who played along and helped keep me abreast of fun things to link.

I was reminded yesterday that there have been a full seven years of April Fool japes here in The BradLands. That's a lot of foolery:
  • 1999: Ethay entireyay itesay asway anslatedtray intoyay Igpay Atinlay orfay ethay ayday.
  • 2000: The site heard Avon calling and became The BardLands
  • 2001: The DrabLands re-rendered the entire site in monochrome
  • 2002: What a sell-out I am! For 24 hours, this was The BrandLands
  • 2003: A Bunch of groovy changes brought about The BradyLands
  • 2004: A bit of fiction for the RSS-reading crowd: More Fool I


Next year? The wheels are already turning...

Am I the only one for whom the April Fools thing is wearing a bit thin? When companies start using it as a marketing gimmick, it's kind of lost its specialness. None of this applies to you, though, as your antics are still actually funny. smile

I was so hoping for a pic of you in one of your best Maidenform underwires.

Mister, you know the drill: I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
