A new me

I've spent most of the hottest day of the year sitting in the hairdressers, simultaneously trying to stay awake and dissolving into a puddle. Still, I'm gorgeous now!

Especially as I have a new bra too! Yes, I plucked up my courage to visit Madame Foner (my only slightly dramatised account of bra-buying is to be found here); it was a less than usually hands-on affair, and I ended up buying a bathing costume as well ...

And I happened to notice that the lady in the next cubicle was being handed bras size 46G, so that made my 34F seem dainty. Okay, perhaps voluptuous is a better description. Eat your heart out, Jordan. Mine are all natural.

Of course, then, when I'm sitting in the hairdressers I read Vogue and discover that the best thing to do, fashion-wise, when you have large breasts is to 'minimise them'. Apparently M&S sell a very good minimiser bra. And M&S can keep it.

Bravo! If you got 'em, flaunt 'em, as we like to say here! I never knew they had cup sizes larger than DD...until I had to go get fitted! UGH! ;(

I missed the Oprah show when she featured how to find the perfect bra. I hate shopping for bras and I'm to the point now I'm almost desperate as I've lost a lot of weight since my surgery. I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and go get it done. Either that or go bra-less and, at this stage in life, that would NOT be a pretty sight, hahahaha! ;-P

Thanks for the link to your older post about going bra shopping, Liz. Hilarious! I've been trying to muster up the courage to go to a specialty store to get properly fitted, but I'm not so sure now! I spent most of my life wishing I were well-endowed, but finally I am being rewarded: the less you have, the less there is to sag!

Read the previous post about poor George; do hope he is ok. Perhaps he needs boxing lessons?

Oh and thanks for your comments on my post last week--no you didn't visit a couple times. I get confused too--did I already read this? Did I already leave a comment?
