JULY 21 - G-strings crocheted by Polish grannies have proved such a
success they are being sold worldwide on the internet.
No longer able to sell their hand-crafted doilies and table clothes,
women in the tiny Polish mountain village of Koniakow turned their
crocheting skills to making sexy lingerie.
And the business has proved such a success that the crotchetier have
now launched an online shop for people around the world to buy the
knitted underwear.
Tadeusz Rucki, who funds the granny g-string firm, said: "People
aren't only mad about g-strings in traditional white crochet, but
also in red and black."
But the head of the local Society for Folk Art, Helena Kamieniarz,
is not happy with the new business, saying: "What is being done to
our old traditions is a disgrace. The art of crochet is not intended
for making such garments."
The crocheted g-strings can be ordered from http://koniakow.com
for around £17 each. |
Three men have staged a naked protest in Brazil - against football.
They walked round the city naked while locals watched Brazil's match
against Ghana.The men staged their protest as they disagree with
how "the whole country stops to watch the football matches at the
World Cup but meanwhile the enormous problems Brazil has in lack of
education and health keep getting stronger."
A local police spokesperson said: "Someone called us to check
this out but it was not a violent crime and we were watching the
match so we decided not to do anything about it.
"They only wanted to get attention, but they couldn't even get
this as everyone was watching the match." |
