For those of you born in the 80's or even the 90's (gasp!) that title is a reference to the New Kids on the Block. They were the shit back in my day. First concert I ever went to and my dad and step mom took me. I think I was in 5th grade. I might have cried a little. Here's a picture just for fun. (The crazy haired dude on the bottom is Jordan and I'm pretty sure he was the source of endless teenage fantasies.)
Anyway, my point is that I started singing that song to myself in the mirror this morning when I saw my boobs in my new bra. My god. It's fantastic!
I buy bras from that really expensive pink place in the mall. You know the one where bras cost like 50 bucks? Well, I think the last time I bought a new bra from them was like 2 years ago. Since that time I've gained and lost some weight, gained and lost a job, and ignored the fact that the straps are discolored and falling apart. Mostly because when you have an extra 50 bucks, the last thing you want to spend it on is A BRA.
The horror of someone measuring your ta-ta's and forcing you to try on new ones keeps you from the store as long as possible. Sure, I've bought some other cheaper ones to get me by, but nothing compares to the expensive pink ones. It's hard to go back to generics after you have had your boobs fit into a comfy bra like a baseball glove.
You totally just imagined boobs in a baseball glove didn't you? Dirty bird.
I stood in the mirror, marveling at my magnificent breasts and how wearing the right bra sure makes my chest look bigger and my waist look smaller. And then, naturally, I thought about how exactly I was going to blog about bras and boobs today.
Oh yeah, and I'm trying to keep my mind off of my cyyyyyyccccclllllleeeee (gag! so sick of my cycle) and my OOOOOOOO day and spermination. I don't even know what cyyyyyyccccclllllleeeee day I am today. Isn't that great?
It can be very freeing to not know what cycle day you're on! As for the bra thing... I'm bad, but I have never been fitted before, and I hate my bras. I think I may have to do that sometime in the near future... I just hate the idea of spending that much on a bra of all things.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo, doesn't it feel great to have no idea where you are in your cycle!!! (except when AF shows her ugly face while you are not expecting it)
ReplyDeleteI hate bra fittings too, I am a well endowed woman and I always end up with something that looks like a medieval torcher device!
I can only wear those pink bras too. Anything else just makes me feel saggy an unsupported! I usually try to hit up that sale they have twice a year. That way $50 bras are only $25. If you're lucky!
ReplyDeleteHappy ICLW!

I will definitely need new bras once I'm done losing weight. For now I'll deal with the old yucky ones. But it's always nice to get new underwear even if it's not top on the list of things to get.
ReplyDeleteTotally caught the NKOTB reference. Loved them!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing what a good bra can do for your boobs? I enjoy the allusion that they sit up nice and firm where they used to be...probably when I was listening to NKOTB!
I can only get my bras from the pink store, too. I love their stuff, especially their sweat pants. I highly recommend them!

I can't buy bras from the pink store. They don't make them big enough. Mine all have to be bought online or from specialty stores so I always end up getting measured. I envy you with your new pink bra.
ReplyDeleteI love NKOTB! I recently went to their concert- and it was awesome. I may or may not have cried. It was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd getting fitted for a bra is the single most awkward experience in my life. But so worth it.
Happy ICLW!
