These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

Nordstroms is awesome.

Nordstroms has been the best for me -- The person who fit me didn't measure just brought the right bra size to try on. Then she measured after to make sure. I was SHOCKED at how off the VS people had been.

Because books.

Bra shopping makes me so weary.

Strangely, in Ireland, they got my band size from measuring my overbust.

I read a thing on the Tumblr that said to bend forward and measure your dangling boobs to get a true sense of your cup size. I didn't try it so I am not sure if it works.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I suppose I need to get a bra fitting done some time in the not too distant future. A number of my bras are looking a bit shabby, plus I noticed that many of my tops are fitting a bit more snugly than they used to.

Hey, Kat, do you happen to remember how long it took before your Zuko exploded? I want to brace myself if that's in my future.

-t, it exploded about 8 months after we had. We kept it stored in our freezer, though, and I wondered if that caused it to happen. But we also keep our ice cream machine cannister in the freezer and that's never exploded.

K's sister, who gave it to us, also had the same problem a few months after we did. I wonder if it was a bad a bunch?

Thanks for the data, Kat.

The instructions that came with it say to keep it in the freezer, that shouldn't make it explode. Well, I'll keep an eye on mine, I've got six months or so to enjoy it even if that is a typical failure rate. And by then the weather should certainly be cooler, maybe I'll keep it in a cupboard for the winter.

Heat advisory until tomorrow, ugh. Unfortunate for the holiday, there's not much shade where the city festivities happen.

I will say, it was fun while it lasted. We had all sorts of accessories: [link] But when it died it didn't seem worth replacing.

Oh man! Should we go to the gym today so I can swim, or should we go to republic of pie?
