Elaine Vassal's Face Bra - On the legal dramedy ALLY MCBEAL/FOX/1997-2002 professional meddler, Ellen Vassal (Jane Krakowski) displayed an inventive nature and created a number of what she thought were useful items. She designed a "Face Bra" for joggers. This bandage-like facial covering with an opening for the eyes held the face in place while a person jogged, thus preventing the up and down movements that cause wrinkling. Elaine's boss, lawyer Ally McBeal (Calista Flockhart) commented the "Face Bra" made her look like "Hannibal Lecter."

Her other inventions included the "Cool Cup," an ice cold fertility device worn on the male genitals to promote increase sperm count; the "Ice Goggles" (glasses packed with ice) designed to shrink puffiness; cherry flavored edible panties; and the “Vi-Bra,” a motorized bra with multiple features: it’s cups can  can move up and down, side to side, shimmy, roll in circle, project nipples and augment their size when you want to look bigger. It has one bug. Cell phone transmissions interfere with it functions.

TRIVIA NOTE: "The Penguin" was the name of a prank invented by lawyers Ally McBeal and deputy district attorney Renee Radick (Lisa Nicole Carson) when they attended Harvard law school. The prank targeted a deserving male victim who was lured to a supposed private spot. After suggesting that the man drop his drawers, the woman made him waddle after her. A snapshot of the humiliating moment was then taken as a souvenir.
