My sister even had a boyfriend offer to buy her some.

Oh, dear. I mean - I don't have words for that.

Always Anti-fascist!

Actually, polling says the righties dig Palin, but the undecideds like Obama/ Biden. Especially women undecideds. So maybe it's not over yet.

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

But on the upside, flea, having kids completely transformed my relationship to my breasts, not to mention it transformed them a bit as well.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

What are people doing this weekend?

Celebrating new job with CBB. Then blessedly nothing.

I have to say, as someone who has always been on the flat side, I never quite get why busty women complain about being busty. It seems like a blonde complaining about being singled out for being "too pretty."

There's a connotation of being slutty, easy, asking for it. Plus finding clothes that fit that ride the thin line between frumpy and slutty (perceived or not). Being randomly grabbed, and not just by total pervs, but by guys who decide that because they're out there you must want them to.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Speaking of boobs...I went out for a beer with one of my friends at a nearby pub and the bartender had a TOTALLY AWESOME set. She was displaying them well in a low, cut but tasteful top. They were pretty and I wanted to compliment her on them but was afraid she'd think I was skeevy.

I feel kind of skeevy for even thinking about it. But they were totally perfect. And not even huge or anything. Just...pert and smooth.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Staying dry.

Renting a lot of DVDs and waiting out Hanna. Who is bringing rain Saturday and Sunday. [link]

Also a friend's housewarming party and maybe brunch.

Yeah, re: bustiness, what DJ said.

Plus the irritation of bra shopping (where I have to go to the higher-end stores just to find my size, and even then, it's touch and go), the perception (external) that you're dumb, just because you've got a large bust.

Punishingly Intricate

I never quite get why busty women complain about being busty.

I don't really have a problem with being busty. I just wish I didn't have to think about them all the time when dressing/buying clothes. I wish I could wear tank tops and spaghetti strap dresses and button down shirts.

Plus there's the having to spend at least $60 on a bra that will actually work for me. at a minimum. Or about $100 for a bathing suit that fits.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I think a lot of it is all that sociatal "Sex and sex organs are dirty" stuff hung squarely front and center on our chests, and it really doesn't matter how I personally feel about it. Society's gonna treat me the way they want.
