One of the problems those men among us who attend Conservative and Reform synagogues have to contend with is that sometimes women, uh, wear the same religious paraphanelia we do. It’s not uncommon to see a woman wear a kipah (yarmulke, or what the Pope wears on his head sometimes) or even a tallit.
Now while we all want to participate in our worship in the same way, let’s face it, it takes away from our masculinity to have women wear exactly the same religious objects. It may also take away from their femininity, even if the kippah or tallit does have all kinds of charming patterns and colors.
Finally, however, there is a solution. Yup, the Yarmulkebra.
By the way, to those who were wondering, I most admire the Boobooshka model.

It seems they learned about it from An Unsealed Room.

take away from your masculinity?
i’m not even going to touch that one. i will say, however, that those bras look like they offer very little support. and at over $60 bucks a pop, i would be hoping for a little push-up action. i remain unimpressed.

That is one of the most impractical things I’ve ever seen.

Well, Sarah, you’re not really supposed to wear it on the head.

Yay for the Yarmulkebra! Granted, it probably needs some modifications in order to appeal to more female (or extremely obese male) consumers. The concept is cute, but the overall support system is not quite up to par. Oy vey!

I think it is time to dump the yarmulka altogether in favor of something more distinctive. I think it should be replaced by the 1957 New York Giants baseball cap!. I nominate this baseball cap above all others…and I did give serious consideration the the 1962 N.Y. Mets cap… because one of the fisrt Jewish major league ball players played fot the Giants..
Now as for the “wimens”, they can utilize the (now) discarded yarmulka

Veggiedate? Josh, are you planning on JVeggieDate?

Huh? Oh, well, heh heh… veggiedate.org or veggiedate.com is one of the very first places where I chatted online, a few years back. There are some Jewish Veggies who come in sometimes. Also, vegpal.com and veggielove.com, etc… Speaking of Jewish love, I once joined a network at jewishmatch.co...(?), but it got me nowhere fast. Oy….
