I've found a ton of pretty & big bras. 38DD shouldn't be a problem at all! You just have to pay for them (or scour the sales racks). Try Nordstrom.

Hmmm. Worth a shot--I think there's a Nordstrom's in the mall near work. Thanks. I usually shop at Kohls.

Maybe it's just me, but while it looks like all they sell is A and B cups, they almost never ever fit me. I would go from VS to Macys to Nordo on a doomed quest every year. Maybe my breasts are just freakish and wrong, at least from a manufacturer's POV.

Nah, I kind of think that's mostly true for all women about everything that goes on our bodies. Every single woman on What Not To Wear talks about how X, Y, and Z makes it uniquely difficult for her to find clothes that fit. I think everyone always has to try on a million things.

Nordy's turned me on to the best fitting bras, but affording pretty ones is a completely different matter. It was much simpler when Victoria's Secret fit.

This is definately something I think all women are made to feel.

I think everyone always has to try on a million things.

Women, anyway. I don't think dudes have this problem as much.

Ah pretty bras.

I used to cry in Victoria's Secret (they're a bit better now). I called is "the store with bras for people who don't need bras."

And even when big bras are pretty to be effective they pretty much still have to be BIG -- wide shoulder straps, four maybe three hooks on the back band. I look at those whispy silk-ribbon-strapped one-hook numbers and sigh with longing.

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

And the righties would have voted McCain no matter who he picked. So, in my mind -- where I need to believe that the Moose Slayer isn't going to bring McCain any new votes -- this is still good.

Relatedly, I was appalled (yet not surprised) that McCain got more applause for bashing Obama and glossing over the Code Pink protesters than he did for his POW story, which IMO is a really moving story. But he got tepid applause throughout the whole thing, which I assume is because it didn't have anything in it that promised his supporters how they would each get tax breaks and their own personal Muslim to pummel.

I learned this lesson very concretely when I went clothes shopping with Kat P once. I had a terrible time finding things big enough that didn't make me look sixty, she needed small things and was NOT going to the Junior's department.

Yeah, probably. I think it's the combination of many men's items being labeled with measurements and most men's clothes not fitting that precisely. I imagine the guy in the skinny suit has to find just the right skinny suit, you know? Pleated khakis, nsm.

Reruns usually get poorer ratings than premieres.
