This item is in fact the remains of a girdle owned by my mom and strung up by my parents good (?) friends over 30 years ago. Now, I know you are curious so I went right to the horse's mouth for an accurate explanation...It appears my parents had a rockin' New Years some time in the late 70s and my mom decided to let it all hang out and take her girdle off. JUST KIDDING MOM! Actually, she just wanted to take the medieval contraption off after a night of partying (and hopefully made the decision to never wear one again). Her only problem was she forgot all about it.
And as good friends will do, they presented it to her ceremonial style one night when they were vacationing in Chincoteague. She grabbed and hid it, but to no avail. Late night thievery struck and my mom found herself staring at it the next morning - nailed 30 feet up a pine tree.
Years passed and the joke faded away but the girdle has remained. A true testament to Playtex quality and my mom's good sense of humor.
Thank you for participating in this survey!
