These fabulous bras are part of an auction held by the Toronto Burlesque Festival. This weekend, Burlesque performers from all corners of the world descend on Toronto to strut their stuff.
As you can see, there are bras for every personality, from barely-there offerings with pasties to full-blown beaded beauties. Proceeds from the Toronto Burlesque Festival Bra Auction went (appropriately) to breast cancer awareness.
Implications - Beware when you browse through the gallery because some of these bras are actually quite terrifying! If you want to freak out your boyfriend or husband, just put on the fluffy bra with a creepy fanged mouth attached to the center! Besides the fanged bra, most of the other creative bras are quite cute.
