[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I really need to get fitted for bras again (and get new bras), the last time I tried to get fitted it didn't go well. Even though victoria's secret doesn't carry my size would they measure me for a bra?

Play dumb about them not carrying your size and just ask for a fitting. They won't refuse you.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Town Shop altered my bras.

To make them perfect.

For free.

How did I not go there years and years ago? I'm the most annoying of zealots -- a convert.

When I was "fitted" at VS they whipped a tape measure around my chest over my clothes and threw a size at me. I wouldn't bother.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yeah, although I wouldn't necessarily trust the answer.

Nah, its the bras.

You're sweet, but no, in this case, I think it's me. My busom is rather small, but I guess it's... I dunno... round? Significantly more women fit into the traditional cup measurements, hence it makes sense for bra makers to tailor their stock to most women's chests, not mine. I just need to try on and shop around.

This is also true. They don't train employees well, or really at all, based on my experience with them. One of the girls who was supposed to be a seller told a customer that we didn't carry garter belts. I questioned her about it later, and it turned out she didn't even know what a garter belt was.

Mostly lurking...

So, I had my allergist appointment today. This is what I'm all pissy about. They told me I had to be off my antihistamines for five days. What they didn't tell me is that my psychiatric medications also block the testing. So, now I have to do it again. Except, I have to go off my psych meds for 5 days. I think my shrink won't allow it. So, I'm a wee bit frustrated.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Trudy, I so need to go there.

I think brenda and I need to road trip to NYC, visit Trudy, and visit Town Shop.

No Nordstrom's here. I've bought my bras before at Lane Bryant, but I don't think I've ever been fitted there. There's a Macy's but the last time I was there looking for bras I couldn't find a salesperson. Also a Dillard's, but I keep running into saleswomen with attitudes. There's also Parisan's, JC Penney's and Sears.

Also has anyone shopped at Ashley Stewart? There's one opening up right across from Lane Bryant soon.
