I bet this wasn’t what you were expecting when you read “Stanley Cups.” Yes, these are a different kind of cups made by Diane Takacs. This bra is a part of an exhibit of several decorated bras called “The Bra Show” at Janice Charach Gallery at the Jewish Community Center in West Bloomfield, Michigan.

The show started Oct. 14 and runs through Dec. 17. Once the show is no longer opened to the public, the bras will be sold at an auction. The proceeds will go to Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital's Charach Cancer Treatment Center to help fight breast cancer.

Some of the bras on display are a bra adorned with M&Ms, a Michigan/Michigan State bra, a bra made up of multi-colored crayons and a bra with a red boa attached and Madonna’s face painted on it.

One of the bras was decorated by Peter Soronen, who grew up in Farmington Hills and now designs for celebrities like Michelle Obama.

What a fun way to help fight breast cancer!

If you would like to attend the exhibit, the Jewish Community Center is located at 6600 W. Maple Road. The gallery is open Monday through Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., 10a.m. to 7p.m. on Thursday, and noon to 4p.m. on Sunday.
