Your Lei is Wrapped Around Your Breast

[scrivener]

We need a word for this occurrence. You know what I'm talking about: A woman is given a lei, and after some movement on the part of the recipient, the lei wraps itself lovingly around one breast, sometimes to be photographed that way.

I find it both hilarious and appalling, and I'm tired of not knowing what to call it, so I'm putting the call out here for the loonies on HT. Any suggestions?

Some that popped into my mind:
Garland Grab
Ti Leaf Feely
Aloha Malfunction
Tuberose Tangle
Carnation Clutch

(these are too flower-specific...I'm drawing a blank)

Or how 'bout a Tilted Jilted Lei?

I gotta admit, "areolei" made my morning.

As for a term that you could use to politely inform the... encircled individual of her condition, I suppose "you're so full of aloha" works. Or maybe some variation on how one's cups runneth over...

I have to admit that I can't quite picture this. I need photos.

Really? How so? Just 'cause things fall the way they fall ("intelligent falling" theory, rather than gravity)? Like as in "funniest home videos" way?

Scriv - maybe you a little obsessed with that part of the female anatomy...how terribly NORMAL of you!

(And you can guess the mental images I will now have all day. I better not Google the former member of Forte...)

Umm. Thanks, Aunty.

Erm, not quite.

As I browse around galleries of photos of people wearing lei, I think one key factor in whether "areolei" occurs is whether the lei is a bit long. I think most well-chosen lei will drape only a few inches below the neck -- essentially, over the top of any... healthy protuberances (and they'd have to have some mass if we're talking about the lei wrapping "around" anything).

A lei would have to be kinda long to loop under a loop-able breast, basically. Of course, lei also come at lengths that reach to the waist, at which point there's not much looping happening. But yes, it does happen.

I can't help feeling that the expression of a "single breast caressed by a lei" has some kaona or hidden meaning attached to it. Care to ask your kumu about that, Uncle? And even if it doesn't, it might make for some interesting hula choreography for your halau, yourself included. And no, I'm not calling you mahu, either.
