On the other hand
Dec. 12th, 2002 04:43 pmNew bras...that *fit*. Who knew that such largesse could be mine?
In keeping with the day's misanthropy, however, I'd like to say a word about the lame-ass little satin ribbon bows that every bra manufacturer feels the need to include front'n'center. They're not good decoration; they're skeezy and look like something made to appeal to the 12-year-old set (and in fact I thought they were *just fab* when I was first budding), and moreover they make a noticeable ridge/lump/thingy in your T-shirt, so people can wonder if you've dropped a piece of sandwich down your front or something.
It might even be vaguely understandable on, say, the lace bra I got, which is very girly. But this is the most utilitarian of bazonga-holsters, utterly without grace when viewed (makes for a good silhoutte; I'm just talking about the garment itself), and sticking a dumb little bit of ribbon on the front is as incongruous as a flower garland on a pit bull.
