Much healing~ma ita!
It's not just that the boob thing isn't fair, it's that there's no winning. There's no way to get it right.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

it would be totally inappropriate for me to say "YAY boobies" right now, wouldn't it?

Nope! Boobies YAY! is a good attitude. Boobies are shameful and should be completely hidden from view is the one that fucks with us larger cupped gals.

“Not dead yet!”
The real bitch about having gained twenty pounds in the last year is that my boobs have filled back out to a rather attractive full B-cup, almost edging into a C.
Why is this a bitch?
Because the rest of me looks meh and I know if I lose the twenty pounds, it'll come right back off the boobies and I'll be back to barely-B's that clearly show the evidence of having breastfed two babies who were born fifteen months apart.
S'okay-- y'all can take me out back and smack me a good one.
(Wonder if I lose only ten pounds will that split the difference nicely?)

Last night's Daily Show featured that little dig at community organizers. Like Jon Stewart said, "So, to all of you people trying to improve your neighborhood and your lives from the ground up? Fuck you!!!"
Last night's TDS was, yet again, awesomecakes. Even Mike Huckabee.

Our wings are not tired.
Yay boobies! Also, yay work appropriate clothing. We have a casual office. Tank tops, shorts, and flip flops. When I have to go to a client office where the women are expected to wear dark hose in the middle of the summer I alter my clothing. No, I don't go buy hosiery, but I wear long pants instead of shorts and a shirt with sleeves. But my office is boobie friendly.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
My rule of thumb for work appropriateness (going out is a whole 'nother story) is, "Would I wear this in front of my over-protective, football coach, all-men-are-punks dad?"

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
And, even with work appropriate (or work mandated uniforms), things can go wrong. When I was teaching I had to wear my dress whites. If I sat on the stoop behind the podium in profile, I had to make sure I sat the right direction or the students could see right inside my shirt because the spacing of the buttons made a little gap. Even in the right size shirt. Not that anyone complained, mind you, we're talking all male students (99% of the time, anyway.) My supervisor had to point it out to me and let me tell you, I was very embarassed because one of my jobs was also to teach the sexual harrassment seminars. Needless to say, I started incorporating the example into my seminars.
