And now for something completely different...

I did something amazing today. I haven't done this in a very very long time.

I bought a bra today.

Yes, that's right folks. You heard me correctly. A bra.

I haven't worn one in years. I haven't even owned one in years. I guess I got rid of all my old ones. I don't have an actual memory of doing it, but since I don't have any...

I also remembered why I hate them. The band that goes around the body is uncomfortable. (That's right - I didn't quit wearing them as a hippie statement; I stopped cuz they sucked to wear, especially when it's hot outside.)

One good thing - it lifts and separates! Very weird to see at first. I felt like I had weapons coming out of my body. I even tried attacking my husband with my torpedoes. I got over that pretty fast.

Actually, I bought two bras today, but one was hella bad. It was one of those made my shirt pointy like a Madonna video at best, and cut my breasts in half at worst. It made me look like I had two fat rolls on top of each other instead of lovely lady lumps (or does that refer to the ass?? I was never sure.). Sounds yummy, doesn't it? Hence, the purchase of the second bra.

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to buy a bra w/o trying it on, and not knowing what size to get???

Welcome to my world.

Funny you should mention that.

I was in some department store or another this weekend and some guy was peddling their new underwear.

"Unlike you old underwear, these move when you want them to. Not when 'they' want to." I spared the salesman my rant about the freewill of underwear.

I did however ask him if I could try them on which gave him momentary pause. I couldn't push the issue because they were giving you a pair for free.

Oh, well. I'll save for next time.

lol..yes, i totally know how difficult it is to buy one without trying it on :D the lifting and separating, yes, totally rocks...the rest of it......sucks. grr...

'course, there's the look on a guy's face when you're wearing a particularly nifty bra.... :D

oh!! and the lovely lady lump issue?? that is called "quadraboob" :D cuz, y'know, you end up looking like there's four of 'em instead of two of 'em :D

so what brought this on???? *arched brow*

Yeah, I don't want to hear it. "Lifts and seperates"...mine haven't spoken to each other...ever! And finding a size that fits?!?!?! The sizes START at "can I pack a lunch in there too?"

Sheesh.
Whiners.

I bought one a few years ago when it was considered "coo" to get the push up thingy going on. I didn't try it on in the store ( which I shoud have) and when I got it home I could have died! I've never seen them do that before! They just spoke right up at attention and I could NOT deal with it. I brought it back the very next day. I'll take the "little ones" over that any day. I felt so self conscious ! My husband loved it thought!
