Hood stuck

i closed my hood, and my leather bra caught in between the latch mechanism and is now stuck within the hood latch. when i try to pop the hood it does not pop and the mechanism is stuck. Any thoughts on how i can go about opening the hood? it is pretty frustrating and rediculous that i cannot open the most crucial part of my car. thanks again.

If you're not concerned about your bra anymore, I have a suggesting that may or may not work.
1.Cut the bra so you have a handle to yank it with.
2. Have a friend pull the hood lever thing and yank the bra up at the same time.

Again, use this only if you don't care about the bra anymore

Its part of a 2 step plan... unless you can yank it W/O cutting

Slam the hood down in the front area after you 'pop' it, so that it MIGHT release, it worked for me.

When you're all done, adjust the clip.
