Kneeboxes
Hide your spindly, knobbly knees in Kneeboxes | |
Many men have spindly or knobbly knees, that should not be
exposed to public view. Some of these knees resemble 1950
style science fiction illustrations of the type of asteroids
that
would obliterate the earth, whilst others are insect like in
their puny dimensions.
All are frightening
to children and
attract the attention of the fashion police. This is where
Kneeboxes come in. Kneeboxes would come in a variety of
sizes, shapes, materials and character - bit like shoes. They
would be hinged to facilitate walking, could have internal
storage for ice cubes to cool the knee in the summer heat,
when they are most likely to be worn. They would also be
available in generic surfaces, ready for decoration like a
hard
boiled Easter egg. They could for example be covered with
mirrors and worn at the disco. The variations are endless.

sp. "where". Welcome to the bakery [+] |

I really like this. As worn by Spike Milligan, along with a yellow sou'wester hat and a scoutmaster's uniform. |
|

Well, it could have been. |
|
| |
Very nice, I shall order mine now. |

Perhaps reflective stripes for going out jogging at night? |

Suggest category of fashion: general. Not a whole lot better but other: general just seems a little lazy. I think a fashion: knee category to be of the highest priority. We could put [benfrost]'s knee bra in there as well. |

You could also use pance. |

I'd illustrate this if I could. |

I did look for one of those Milligan sketches - the pencil ones with people of knobbly knees and wearing enormous boots - because I thought they would be perfect as an illustration. But I couldn't find anything quite right on t'internet. |

This is very wrong. The sock-and-sandal combination would not be complete without an exposed knobbly knee above it. |
|
| |
So we can now rename knee-pads to knee-boxes |

I'm not going to delete it for two reasons. 1 I actually made a set of these over ten years ago, and I still have them, long before I had even heard of the halfbakery 2 They are a substantially different idea, and function to that of Benfrost's knee bra. It would be a bit like comparing a wonderbra to a wooden bodice (incidentally I have made wooden shirts too) |
