Bra shopping, shudder. By the standard measure, I should be a 44G, which is too big in reality. I'm left guessing at my own bra size. 42DD usually fits, except when it doesn't. I'm just gonna wear sports bras forever. Unless I can get back down to what I think of as my "normal" size, when I could buy 36B bras and be reasonably sure they'd fit.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Because books.
I'm a 38B, which can be hard to find in the store. And some days I think I'm closer to a C. I've never found a demi bra I was comfortable in -- they all seem like I'm about to spill over, which I don't like.
S. grabbed a 38B Wacoal from Nordstrom's Rack one day, and it fits PERFECTLY. Totally not an everyday bra (which is probably what you get when the guy is shopping for it) but I do know I want to try more Wacoals.

I just joined Goodreads. And I'm pretty sure I just sent out a friend request to everybody I know, so, um, sorry about that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not even the band?
Nope. And they got me pretty much right away.
Which was so different from Victoria's Secret, who would argue with me, and tell me I had my bra size wrong, until I tried it on, and then they'd say okay.
Why am I proving shit to them? Grr.

She did measure the band, but guessed first and was right, between 34 and 36. 36 Ds tended too broad between the cleavage and cut into my upper chest, 34 DD too big in the cups. In general. There were more specifics about placement, shape and support that I objected to.
I tried on a strapless convertible in Nordies that had the right shape...but it had the tacky rubber since it was a strapless (gives me welts as my thighhighs do and while I can tolerate that on my thighs, NSM my torso) and the straps were too broadly spaced.
Devi was sleeping behind me and Loki jumped up nearby and indulged in some blissed out kneading of the throw. He'd occasionally bump her and she'd werp (a happy werp) until he slid a little and was kinda kneading her. She stood and was just staring at him like 'what the fuck is he on?!' for a bit until she left to eat. He was oblivious.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm watching "too cute" on animal planet, which is about kittens. For the first time ever, the cats are entranced by the tv.

sara, I bet you would benefit from someone tailoring bras for you.

That just makes me tired.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've had bras tailored a few times, and it was like magical perfect fit. At least, it was until I gained or lost a few pounds.
