Oil your bras...

Having pushed our library staff outside their comfort level with the MULTA project, I was at it again today - this time videoing some of them for the 5 weeks screencast. We all contributed to the project, so I wanted their voices heard too.

When it was my turn, LB who knows how to do this type of thing, attached the radio mike to my shirt and I smiled and spoke into the camera. I felt like a prize 'nana.

Half way through.."STOP..the mike's picking up a squeaking noise". Mike clipped higher up. Still squeaking. Shoes removed. Still squeaking. Chair changed. Still squeaking.

"It's happening when you move forward".....

Finally worked out it was the underwire from my bra. Or underplastic in this case.

MY LIBRARY 2.0 TIP FOR THE DAY:
Before you try videoblogging, check your bra for squeaks.

I hate that when that happens! What did you do for your squeaking bra? Did you just toss them or what?

I am very much interested.

Thank you,

I had the same problem. Its the plastic tip on the wire. I took my wire out. Trimmed the plastic, put the wire back in and sewed up the openeing. Its a great quiet bra now.
