Clear Bra Straps

Picture, if you will, the Venn diagram for "clear" and "invisible." Items in the "clear" circle might include glass, ice, and saran wrap.*

Some possibilities for the "invisible" portion of the diagram: sound/radiation waves, germs, The Invisible Man, fans in the expensive seats at Dodger Stadium in the 1st and 9th innings of regular season games.**

In the shaded intersection of the two circles you would find...nothing! That is because something that is clear by definition cannot also be invisible. If clear = invisible, how could you see something to recognize that it is clear? You could not!

So why clear bra straps? They are not, per the above, invisible. If anything, they scream "Look at me! Look at my tacky plastic straps! You'd have to be out of your G-D mind to wear a strapless bra with this dress!" They call attention to the very feature you sought (presumably) to conceal!

While clear bra straps may not be invisible...they are Banished. Which is the next best thing.

*unless this Venn Diagram is a Scientologist, in which case a "clear" is: "a being who no longer has his own reactive mind, and therefore suffers none of the ill effects the reactive mind can cause." I'm unclear as to the meaning of that sentence.

**nonetheless, Go Dodgers
