I want... oh, wait. I'm already a waif. How about "muscle expansion surgery?"
...also known, I suppose, as "exercise." Incidentally, how fit do I need to be to do a three-day hike (New Zealand's Milford Track) and live?

Depends on how strenuous the hike is and what you're carrying. My brother did a 12 day appalachian hike with 2/3 of his body weight on his back when he was 11, about 9 miles a day, without any special training. But he was also 11 with all the energy and springiness that implies.
As long as you don't get winded too easily, and can handle the distribution of wieght, you should be fine, unless the hike involves some serious ascents.

There was a woman on American Idol last night who had the largest breasts i have ever seen. Honest, it must be hard for her to stand up straight.

Liz - is she shown in any of these photos? I noticed there were a couple of them that looked like they might fit your description Especially one thin black woman near the end of this slide show.
I miss American Idol last night because I totally forgot it was coming on. Guess I will have to catch up next week.

Idol is on tonight too. I remember the lady with the huge breasts. I was surprised at all the moving she was doing. My first thought was that she wasn't wearing a bra, but I didn't want to look close enough to see if I was right.

My son did not beieve that those were her breasts. He thought, in all seriousness, that she had put pillows under her shirt. Ad she sure was shakin!
No worries, Farmgirl, I think it is on for a couple of nights.

My boss says she was singing Rolling on the River -- which I can just bust a gut laughing imagining her doing that while rockin' those babies back and forth!

Sorry FG. It actually doesn't do me any good, either, because it's at specified stores at specified times, all of which are during my work hours and none of which are the store that's three blocks from where I work.
Oh, unless I was going to skip the henna party for a bra fitting. Don't think so.

Now see, if every one left the henna party for a bra fitting, it could be a female bonding experience.

I wish I could find bras in my size in this country. But alas, they do not exist.
So. I'm up for a female bonding experience. $4000 for a bra, anyone? Anyone? (including airfare and hotels)

Anyone remember this little ditty? "What did Unde wear, boys? What did Unde wear?" - to the tune of "What did Dela wear?" of course.

quote:Marshell Fields has a promotion going on at select stores where if you go in for a fitting you get a free bra.
Naturally, I thought of this thread...
Actually, I'd like info on this...I couldn't find anything on Field's site, I work a couple blocks from State Street and could fairly easily slip out of work to go... and hey it's free!

Hmmmm. I saw it in a newspaper ad. It just listed the times and dates here in town, it might be that they're just doing it here, or it might be they're only doing one city at a time.
Also, it wasn't like you got to pick your own free bra for going in for a fitting, it was a promotion for a particular type of bra, and it wasn't one that I wear. So while if it had been nearby at a good time I probably would have gone anyway, I wasn't going to go too far out of my way for it, which I might have if it was a brand/style I knew and liked.

Ha! I can make one, after all, even though it's not at the close store! Claudi & I are going shopping and to dinner after work Thursday, and will attempt to get fittings and free bras. I wonder if you have to make an appointment...?

You kidding? I typo all the time. I can't spell worth a hill of beans and I don't use a spellcheck except for really long serious posts that I type elsewhere. I usually fix 'em pretty quick, though.
But yeah, that one wasn't. Posts: 7954 | Registered: Mar 2004

just a question, is it safe to use a push-up bra when your breast are perhaps not fully developed?

Ok Breyer - with all the respect I can muster.
I fancy myself a reasonably mature man, notice empashis on reasonably, but even so at no point will I ever be able to hold a meaningful or intelligent conversation that involves the word boobs.

I need a strapless push-up for my dress, I heard someone mention somehting about it, but I'm not entirely sure if I should. I don't really think it would harm me or anything, but I'd just rather be on the safe side.

You mean safe as in "no lasting damage on a developing body?"
I can't imagine a pushup bra would leave any lasting damage if worn for the night. Long term use may see some sort of meaningful impact, but even that's debatable.

Wearing it once isn't going to hurt you. Just don't make a habit of it. And make sure it fits right, or you'll be uncomfortable all night.

Ok, I don't think I'll make a habbit of it, I'll try wearing it sparingly. But I don't think I'll just wear it for prom.

I have to say that sight is so much better than many american ones with the same purpose.
Trevor, you aren't a dirty old man, you're helping teen girls become intelligent confident young women.

Heh, I appreciate the thought Breyer, but I don't think even I could talk fast enough to explain to my boss why I had that site loaded on my screen.

A History of Breast Enhancement, Told in Patent Drawings is available today on Slate.com. My personal favorite is the sheet metal push-up bra from the 1890s. I'm just going to go out on a limb and guess that it wasn't someone who would ever have to actually wear one of these things that designed it.
[Edit--okay, so I can't link directly to the javascript applet that is the slideshow itself. There is a link to it in the article though.]

I've been planning to go try on the Ipex bra this weekend just to see what I think, but since it's like $15 more than the one I normally buy, I don't think I'll buy it unless it somehoe makes me look like a different person.
