Cindy, how'd the party go?

Okay, I know it's incredibly rude to ask for a picture, but I feel like I need a picture of this proper-bra-wearing thing. Because I always thought that right on the ribcage was exactly where the underwire was supposed to go, and all I can imagine now is the underwire sort of hovering in mid-boob, with half the boob drooping down and out of the bra. Which can't be right.

Or, you know, show us your tits! For National Prayer Day!

But, seriously. My bra has been bugging me all day and now I'm eaten up with certainty that I've spent my whole adult life wearing every bra I've ever owned completely wrong.

Also, that dress looks like it'll be sassalicious on you.

I need to do a bra-fitting. But then I'd want to buy bras and that would take $$$. Oy.

BUT, any spare job~ma directed my way (well, to the phone lines between Boise, ID, Corvailis, OR, Seattle, WA, and Chantilly, VA) tomorrow would be oh-so appreciated. It seems that the various bosses will be talking tomorrow about my interest in this other contract. I have no delusions that things will get resolved tomorrow, but it would be a big step forward.

Well, it's like this: [link] (not a picture of me, you perverts!) -- I'm having a hard time explaining, and I just realized where my description was incorrect.

I was pulling the underwire flush against my ribcage and then UP, into the hollow under my boobs, which is what allowed the overhang. So flush against the rib cage is proper, as long as the wire is sitting below the breasts, and not yanked up into the curve underneath (one of my favorite parts of my body, BTW, but, despite how much I love it, NOT where the underwire should be, b/c it creates sort of a sling effect).

I have nothing to add on the proper way to wear a bra, other than to say that I like both bras and boobs.

Ah. Okay. My bra insecurity is somewhat alleviated.

When I have the money, I'm gonna get a metric assload of the non-maternity version of my favorite nursing bra -- incredibly supportive and comfy (and no wires, which is very impressive for a DDD-cup); the nursing bras are now all milk-stained and were never anything but boring white anyway, but their regular line has some very pretty and sassy designs.

Job~ma all over the place for you, Suzi!

Ok. Seriously. Someone save me from this reading. I'm gonna poke my eyes out soon. Colonial era through post Civil War orphan(age) stories are gonna kill me. And I've been reading about them for going on seven hours today.

Crap. Where'd my post go?

Where'd my post go?

With the rum?

Cindy, how'd the party go?

Semi-X-posted with Natter, because I'm lazy. The movie was so so. The kids had a good time (probably not a great time). The birthday boy had a great time though, and says it was the best day of his life. None of the peanut/tree nut kids had an allergic reaction. Nobody got injured. Nobody cried. Nobody got lost. Nobody threw up. And? It's over. I'm calling that a win. Thanks, Valerie.

Now I see what you mean. Huh. I don't know how I was wearing them. I wore them for years, but stopped a few years back. I wonder if I still have any. I'd like to try that out. I still buy good Bali bras (because I'm a D), though -- just no wire. I realized the extra help from the wire wasn't worth the trade off in comfort, since the girls are doing okay (particularly considering they're 40 and I've had three babies).
