I knew it wasn't a good idea when I made this brooch--I couldn't imagine anyone actually pinning it to their chest. But just think: some stylish woman in some distant time (probably the 1940s) actually wore this hooter on a coat or dress. I would imagine that men couldn't keep their eyes off her!Anyway, I love this little button, and I couldn't resist making the brooch, but I haven't had the nerve to put it up for sale yet. (I should mention that it's enormous--almost 2 1/2 inches wide and 1 inch deep.) I'd be interested to know whether my assumption is correct--that it's more fun to look at than to wear--or if someone could actually envision the day they would put this on and go out to meet the world.
On an unrelated note: There's an interview of me this week on the Etsy Vintage blog, featuring a few of my less bizarre creations. Check it out.

LOL! You're assumption is correct. If I wore this, the other two might get jealous.
YOU'VE BEEN TAGGED!!!
Ha ha! take that!
Very funny. Hey, why not add one more for viewing? They're gonna look anyway...
LMAO!
Oh...this is classic!
Oh my! Maybe you could fashion a little mini pasty so it didn't feel so...exposed? :o)
Great idea! She might be starting to feel a little cheap with all these views (I put it on Flickr, and it's had 10 times the view of any other item, but zero comments...hmmm...I bet they were expecting something else).
HAH! Thats awesome. a boobie brooch.
I almost feel awkward for staring at it for too long....
that's too funny! i like boobie brooch for a name...
yes do list it!
Haha. This is great. Hey, I like this brooch.
You need to wear it out and post a blog about the comments and stares you receive!
Good idea, Melissa (if I have the nerve). I did just post this lovely thing in my shop--I'll be interested to see what kind of attention it gets.
