I've never been poked by an underwire. They're good to the girls, support-wise. I mean, I can wear a shelf bra. But I sure can't run in them without causing accidents.

Tep, duct tape is the obvious answer.

I don't wear anything but underwires. It takes some months of wear before they start poking.

I did not know about the full moon! Gotta remember to cavort.

Epic, you're a Solstice baby! The full moon's on the night of the Solstice, so everyone needs to go out and cavort on Midsummer's Night.

Yes, everyone come cavort with me!

I avoided underwires for years (actually decades), too. Finally something made me try the ones at Lane Bryant, and now I wear almost nothing else. Yeah, the old Playtex and/or Bali collection did ok for support, but it seems like underwires just give the girls a more attractive shape , or something.

leaping over many posts to say, you can get EW for $35/year here:

Or, if you qualify, you can get 4 years of Sports Illustrated + 4 years of Ent. Weekly for a total of $45 (yes!). Needless to say, the office went with that. It's a co. that pitches to professional businesses for their waiting rooms. 877-549-1820.

Will you be in/near Lansing? We get in late on the 15th, the wedding is the evening of the 16th, and I fly out Sunday at 6 a.m. (I can already hear my "Gronk!"). Translation = we'll have most of the day on Saturday to roam.

Will you have transportation? Could you come up to Ann Arbor? No, wait, that wouldn't work anyway what with the wedding.

Wow, that was a lot of unintentional alliteration.

A good underwire is a thing of beauty. They lift, shape, and support. I believe that there are, in fact, underwire sports bras.

A good underwire will make a gal look about 10lbs lighter, on account of the instant boob lift.

A good underwire lets the clothes hang just right.

I have not worn an underwire bra in months, on account of avoiding any potential overconstriction of my breast tissue. I miss underwires. The softcups just don't quite cut it on my 38H figure.

(I'm sort of hoping that a year or so from now, when I'm no longer nursing, I'll go back down to something reasonable, like a C. Then I shall buy pretty bras without having to mortgage the house.)

Our visit to Michigan is very quick, P-C, which is unfortunate since it sounds like we could have seen a few people. It's my work's fault. ::kicks work:: I have to be here the week before and in San Antonio the day after to earn much needed brownie points.

Excellent sports bra. Damned shame it's so expensive, but my breasts look as good in them as they do in the regular-wear Wacoals that cost about the same.

Happy Birthday Cass!!!
