Kissing at red lights is great fun - kissing at stopped trains is even better.
And I love kissing with my eyes open. There's something very intense about staring into the eyes of another person while kissing them.
Speaking of accidental peep shows.....once I was kissing this guy in a parking lot at the grocery store before going shopping, and we got fairly involved in the kiss and I guess sort of...forgot? where we were, and when we let go of eachother about 10 minutes later, we noticed a man sitting in the truck across from us, staring intently...so intently, and with such an...expression...on his face that we thought he might have been doing more than staring Horrified, we quickly drove to the other end of the parking lot and did our shopping, hoping not to run into the man in the store.

I almost bumped this thread the other day, Victoria Secret's semi-annual sale starts monday in stores and has already started online. I can't wait to pick up another bra or two.

Someone in my mom’s office told her about a woman who runs a bra consulting business and bra boutique. Since I needed a bra that would work with my wedding dress, and since I’ve complained about finding bras that fit right, Mom made me an appointment.
Wow.
The consultation took 45 minutes, and included a mini-lecture on the anatomy of the breast and the proper engineering of bras. Plus an evaluation of the bra I was wearing – no support, no shaping, just smooshes you down – and comments on irreversible damage and what my breasts were going to look like in 15 years if I didn’t start treating them right (not a pleasant picture.)
One thing that I found interesting is that cup size is actually based on the width of the breast, not volume. So when some of my bra cups had empty space in them and I interpreted that as needing a smaller cup size, what was actually happening is that I was spilling out the sides instead of filling the cups because the cup size was too small. She put me in a bigger cup size and it fits smoothly. So I got a new “regular” bra as well as a strapless long-line thing for under the wedding dress.
Then we got back to the house (where Bob was working) and Mom wanted me to show off my new look. You could almost see Bob’s cognitive dissonance – “Dana’s mother is inviting me to comment on the appearance of her breasts.” Posts: 9866 | Registered: Apr 2002

Good on you, Dana. A good bra is worth it's weight in gold. Including the weight of the stuff that fills it.

From what you're describing, I think I need to find one of these! I have such a hard time finding a comfortable bra that also provides support.

Was she like, a Cameo dealer? I went to a bra consultation once with one of their reps, and it was the absolute best thing I ever did. I learned so much! Of course, I couldn't afford the Cameo bras for long, but they were great.

Yeah, I found the same thing to be true, Dana. I finally found a bra in my real size, which is two cup sizes bigger than what I'd been wearing. Strangely enough, not only does the bigger bra fit, I look . . . er . . . more voluptuous in it, even though I never felt particularly smooshed in the smaller bra. Go figure.
Now that I have one bra that fits, I find out Victoria's Secret (where I bought it on clearance) no longer sells my size in stores. Dang!

Farmgirl, she has her own company and stocks bras from several designers. Most of them weren’t outrageously expensive either – even the wedding one was only $55.

Huh.
No, really. Huh. Because I think that might be my problem. Though I really don't like the idea of being any bigger than the size I am currently wearing, but if it means being comfortable, I am all for it.
There's got to be a good bra shop in downtown Chicago, right? I need to remember to google for it when I get home. I don't trust myself to buy the right size anymore, because the last few times I went bra shopping I bought ones that felt comfortable in the store but became nightmarishly small once I got them home.

No website, no chain. But here is an article that quotes her.
The calculator didn't give the right size for me, either.
Interestingly, everything I've ever read about sizing says to take the cup measurement around "the fullest part of the breast." Either that doesn't mean what I think it means, or the lady who fitted me disagrees -- she measured about two inches above where she would have gotten the largest measurement.
Edit: but those numbers don't work in the calculator either, so she obviously has her own system.

You know, Porter, for someone who is so easily squicked, you sure do read a lot of threads about things that squick you. Posts: 10886 | Registered: Feb 2000

Dana didn't tell you all how the new lingerie affects her posture and breathing...
It was all very funny sitting around the future in-laws living room discussing the science of bras and breasts (largest excretory gland in the body!)
Apparently this woman is a savant.
Fortunately, she told Dana that the damage she's done so far by wearing the wrong bra is reversible. I'm looking forward to helping with the physical therapy.
