The cone bra is in again, I'm told. You know, the concentric circle bra of the 50's that turned everyone into a pin up girl with boobies smashed into a rocket shape that could poke out eyeballs? It just occurred to me (I'm slow, okay?) that tits have actually had their own fashion trends. You wouldn't really think a part of the female anatomy could be coaxed into being anything other than what it is, but, when you think about it..it always has been. In the roaring 20's women bound their breasts with bandages so they could get that flat flapper look. In the 60's women burned their bras, Twiggy was hot, and in the 70's it all hung out, even Mrs. Roper set the boobies free. The 80's was more structured, to go with our shoulder pads, I guess, and Madonna wore her bra outside her clothes. The 90's saw some rounded tata's and implants took off. Now every celeb had huge knockers with that tell tale space between them big enough to land a private plane.*
We've been subjected to every kind of boob torture from under wires, half bras, water bras, wonder bras, uplifted and heaved, padded and pointed and sports bras. There are first bras and front loaders and double wide straps and strapless and..............none of them really fit. And I am not forcing mine into a cone shape, ever. I'm thinking about just throwing mine over my shoulders and walking backwards. I can talk that trend over with Lady GaGa in a few years.

Don't forget nursing bras... Ugh! Men could never understand.
Guh! My mom wore those flimsy cotton bras just like this one. The nipple area was always sunk in, not a good look. 'Cuz nobodys boob goes into the pointy part! Unless you are deformed! Even the model is suffering from that.

Bras suck! I've been wearing them since I was 10 yrs old. I even sleep in a bra. I'm short and fairly thin, (5'3, 115), and my "Big Naturals" do NOT fit the rest of my body. They look like big ol man-mades under my clothes, and contribute to the pain in my back every day. I am saving for a reduction in the coming year. I can't wait to see what it feels like to go bra-less and wear those slinky tops. Sorry hubs, kiss 'em bye. . .er, so to speak. . .
I remember in the 70s there was a test to see if you should go braless. If you could lift your breast and put a pencil under your boob and it falls down, you could go braless. I have actually put a 24 oz. can of tomatoes under one and it stayed. You want to talk back ache! I have never found a bra that fit right and I have gone to the places where they "try" to fit you! I've looked into breast reduction and all I can say is it reminded me of fileting a fish. I'm not a fan of surgery. When I get home in the afternoon, it is the first thing to come off and I known that's the wrong thing to do. In 2 more years , they will be bouncing off my knees. Yea, when you're young and halfway desent looking, you can get the attention of just about any guy in the room. But, in the long run, it's not worth it!!!!
Ahhhh, Bayou Jane, you make me laugh daily. "24 oz. can of tomatoes" <--- I nearly spit my coffee out. I'm not a fan of surgery either, and believe me, I've done a lot of research to find just the right Dr. and precedure. I feel your pain, Seestah.
I could do the tomatos. We should have a contest. The tit-off.
OMG DD, I haven't been to visit in forever. :( I love what you've done with the place, though! Glad you've still got that zing that always makes me smile. Hope things are pointy in your corner of the world. 34C ya later.
