This piece made me laugh. It was refreshing from all the heavy/dull/serious pieces both on this site and elsewhere on the web. I wonder how many of these critics have never had to shop for a bra. . .

Well I read the feedback (it all seemed very negative)
I enjoyed the article and learned plenty. As an older female I though I knew alot about bras. As an engineer I was also particularly interested in how he went about his work and some of the technical problems. Seemed to be an interesting man to talk toand a fascinating topic..

Yes, but, how many readers are really that interested in the physics behind the engineering behind what holds up a breast? I myself am more interested in the breasts themselves (and the models they're attached to), and I think the article did a good job of showing that side of things, in a lighthearted and entertaining manner.

It's finally nice to see an article on nerve that is light-hearted and cute rather than heavy and elitist (as some are). Thanks Mr. Martin.

| What is this? An article by Beavis?
"Heh heh heh, he said breast, heh heh heh."
Two pages and it is clear that the question you wanted
to ask was "Do you get off on the job?", but
you couldn't bring yourself to ask it. You just asked
inane question after inane question. I didn't mean to be this harsh, but geez, either get a life or interview a
hooker!

I have to say that while I found the piece amusing and light-hearted, there's a tone of condescension (starting with the title) that I find distasteful.

I like best the touch of him being a demi-god for his bra-making creativity, and his focus so clearly on what he does "breast" for the fun of it. I also thought his take (the bra guy's) on there is a closeness between models and the bra industry, "fitful and lively" so very interesting! he also came across very "firm" about that, in more ways than one. C'est ca!

I've read quite few intelligent and thoughtful pieces at Nerve, but I have to say that yours is not one of them. In fact, I am embarrassed for that you actually considered your work print worthy. Not only was the level of journalism just laughably shabby -- 'I can't spell "brassiere," can you?' and 'Let's do some word association' -- the whole thing read like the world's dumbest blind date: your line of questioning pretty much screamed, 'I have one thing and ONE THING on my mind only.' If I were the subject of this interview, I would've paid for my soup and left you in the diner.
Did it even occur to you that Mr. Kolski might resent your prurient insinuations that he was a dirty old man? It seemed pretty obvious that, for him, designing underwear was more than ogling naked models; that working with them wasn't necessarily sexual or even sensual. It's little wonder Mr. Kolski treated you like an immature amateur. If you'd taken such adolescent assumptions to your family physician and asked him about his relationship with his patients, don't you think his sense of professionalism would've been offended?
