Yes, I'm spamming. No I can't help myself. Look away if breasts offend you.

[Poll #984686]

I hate all of my bras. So I bought a new one, and now my boobs look gigantic, and I still hate them and I want my normal boobs back and while I so apologize for the TMI measure of this post, I spend a good 1/4 of my life shoving my breasts into and out of very pricey costumes designed to show off the tricks these tatas can do and I spend a lot of time helping other dancers wrangle their boobs into costumes and they've sort of lost their entertainment/subversive/embarrasment value by now.

Plus, it's been on my mind. I want my old body back. The one with the flat stomach and the big ass and the handful sized tits. That does not seem like too much to ask.

[Poll #984687]

Alrighty, enough with the breast talk. And seriuosly, it's not like I'm going to do anything useful with that information, I just cannot stop thinking about my own secondary sex characteristics and feel the need to inflict that on everyone else.

On to something really spectacular.

For anyone who watches or writes Stargate, a little hint of what Colorado Springs actually looks like here,this is not the city itself which is a combination of 19th century Victorian build up charm, and suburban awful, all at the base of Pikes Peak. However, Garden of the Gods is in the city, bordering Manitou Springs on one side and parts of Colorado Springs on the other and is one of my favorite places in the world, and unlike Chinook Books, or Michelle's or any of the shops that I loved, they can't take Garden of the Gods away from me.

TMI? don't mind if I do...

[sophia-helix.livejournal.com]

I just started wearing a C cup after years of thinking I was a B, but as far as I'm concerned mine are still too small. I have broad shoulders and am not petite (except for being short), and I always feel like I should be at least a D just to balance me out (the actual boobs I have would look fine on a smaller-framed woman). Also it means I can't wear plus-size clothes but am a skosh too big for most regular clothes. Blah. There should be trading of breast material so the world evens out, I tell you.

After years of sorta wishing my boobs were bigger, I realized that I was pretty happy with them ( a solid B cup). And now, they're spilling between a B and a C and I just want them back to how they were before.

There should definitely be an exchange possibility!! A good friend of mine had the opposite problem of being super tiny, and short and having gigantic DDs. She finally got them reduced and feels like a new person.

I've hated having big boobs since they became a hindrance to my football career (meaning my parents made me stop when the boys started tackling me with out the football). *snerk*

I have stated for years that if I ever get the money, these puppies are going to a freaking A cup. Who wants to be a double D with the neck/backaches they cause. And I'm not even getting into hitting them on doorways.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Okay, the prospect of hitting them on doorways is horrifying and makes me glad for what I've got!

I spent years thinking mine were too small, but lately I'm pretty happy with my breasts. I just wish I could find a bra that actually fits. I'm somewhere between an A and a B cup. Theoretically I'm a 34B, but most of my bras are way too big. Of course, I know they tend to stretch out with time and I haven't gotten any new ones in a year, so maybe that's my problem. *g*

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

I would (despite all of my bra hating) recommend going to get fitted for a bra. It sounds silly, but it makes a huge difference:)

[ropo.livejournal.com]

I forget who it is, but someone makes 'nearly b/c/d' bras. Check into it!

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

That is a great idea!

[life-on-queen.livejournal.com]

Dude, I didn't know it before but thinking about whether or not your boobs constituted a handful and whose handful that would be was, in fact, the last thing I wanted to think about today. xp

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

So as you know, they constitue a handful for me!

[ropo.livejournal.com]

I bought bras today too! Down to 42DD from 44DDD. Yay weight loss! Except that it costs money to buy new bras. Sheesh.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Go you!!! And that is why I buy my bras at Marshalls. Which might explain my current hate on for them:)

[scapeartist.livejournal.com]

I used to rather like the size and perkiness of my tits, but then I nursed two kids and lost 20 lbs over and above the baby weight and now they are rather saggy. So in the second poll, saggy would have been the boob state of choice. I have taken to wearing camisoles with a shelf bra built in. JJill is my bra maker of choice these days.

After having 2 breast reductions (36GG to 36D, 36E to 34D), I bet I've spent more time in my life thinking about breasts than 14 year old boys.

who thinks about breasts? ;-)

My answer for the first one is a wishy-washy 'not necessary, per se, but I generally wear them when outside the house'.

[ropo.livejournal.com]

Also, sometimes I call mine "Thelma & Louise," 'cause it makes boys laugh.

And I will happily get a breast reduction (if my insurance will pay for it) as soon as I'm down to a 'normal' weight, because they won't do it if you're fat. Bastards. I'm thinking a nice C cup. I don't need them to be tiny; I just want them to not hurt my back/neck/shoulders, and to be able to buy pretty bras, and not have to still wear plus size on top when I'm now down to regular-girl sizes on the bottom. Sigh. Is that so much to ask??

[rubberneck.livejournal.com]

I was just discussing this with the Cmonkey this morning, as I was shimmying into my nursing bra (http://www.bravadodesigns.com/product.asp?ID=2) (I have the pink, the polka dot, and the leopard print) and the kidlet was smiling and slapping her hand against the crib rail in eager antitipation.

Bras are totally dependent on boobies. If you have manageable handfuls you certainly don't have to wear one if you don't want to. The more boob you have to wrangle, the more important good support becomes. A good sports bra corraling your D+ duo means you can walk fast, hell even run, without aching or making a spectacle of yourself. I miss wearing a sports bra, but they're too unforgiving for my currently working gals.

One of the preggos I work with was complaining about how difficult it is to hide her nipples these days--she goes to great lengths to pad and layer over her nubbins lest some guy she works with...I dunno, notices she's got 'em? Has anyone heard of this idea, that any trace of even topographical nipplage is a social flub?

With the freeform support I'm wearing right now I'm thrilled when they're in the same plane, pointing in the same direction, and keeping the milk to themselves.

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Hee - Kath has been traumatized now by imagining whose handfuls these handfuls would fill:)

And yeah, totally dependent on the boobies. But I noticed a huge difference in how I wanted mine to behave with a relatively small amount of extra heft and bounce. They were all about the Newtonian physics at a certain point, bouncing up and down and not making me happy when I walked quickly!

And rolls eyes, I do not understand what, exactly, the sin of the nipple is, but I wish people would get over it.
