It all started late one night when four women left the Cardrona Hotel,New Zealand in 2000 after celebrating the new millennium. They decided to honor the occasion by removing their bras and hanging them on a nearby fence. The sight of bra collection held a certain appeal to most passersby and the number of bras continued to grow as did the fame of the fence. Of course not everyone agreed about the bra fence and the opposition demanded the offensive underwear be removed as it was an eyesore and potential traffic hazard and sadly they won. In 2006 over 1,500 bras were removed allowing the offended locals to once again have a fence that just looked like the rest of the fences. I happen to like quirky and find stories like this a sad statement about human tolerance.
