Boys Beware (not that there re a lot of boys on my LJ...) Embarrassing TMI and underwear-related stuff:



First, I went to the Cincinnati Reds vs. Atlanta Braves game with my mom yesterday. Why, yes, I did take my post-chemo, 69-year-old mother with me out in the 110-degree heat to watch a ballgame and watch people being carted away left and right from heatstroke! She wanted to go! If it makes me look any better, we gave up on the sun by the second inning and snagged some abandoned seats along the first-base line, in the shade, and I was obsessive about keeping her well-watered.

Anyway, I had my little game-purse with me-- easy to carry-- and since I knew that time of the month was near, I'd put a pair of underwear and a feminine item in this small purse just in case something happened. Well, when I went to get my veggie dog with sauerkraut, I tried to pull out money and pulled out my turquoise satin underwear instead, dropping them on the ground and looking like a goofball at the concession stand. D'oh!

(By the way, I have horrrrrible cramps right now, eeeee...)

Then, bras! This morning, I was sitting in my garage with the door open, enjoying the sudden rain shower we were getting at last, at last, at last after two weeks of killer, rain-free heat and humidity, and of course one of my neighbors came over to chat at me about the rain and of course I wasn't wearing a bra under my t-shirt, because for some reason I wasn't. And I don't exactly have big, bouncy boobs but I have enough to make it obvious I wasn't wearing a bra. So! Before I go outside, I need to make sure I'm always wearing a bra, even if I do live alone.

Speaking of bras, BRA SALE AT VICTORIA'S SECRET! I got four bras in my hard-to-find size for $12.99 each. Seriously! Anyone who's shopped at Victoria's Secret knows that bras there normally cost $39 each. And so what if three of the bras have a lot of bright pink-- one is all bright pink, one is bright pink with bright pink lace and a little gold emblem, and one is camo-printed green and pink with pink lace-- they all make my cleavage look fabulous, as long as I'm not wearing white over them.

I hope everyone is having a great Sunday. :)



Oh, in other news, I have a Tumblr; I'm jedishampoo there also. But beware! I may use the tumblr for some griping, maybe, and for silly, squee-y fan-related, porny discussions and stuff. Not at all like this LJ, which is totally serious all the time.

Ugh, this heat! It's horrible, isn't it? Your underwear escapades sound amusing now, though I'm sure it was a bit embarrassing at the time. ;) You're too cute!

Thanks for the heads up on Vicky's sale! I'll go check them out. I actually went into a shop of theirs a few weeks ago and it was a miracle - I found something that fit me! It was from their "Pink" collection.

Adding you on Tumblr~ I'm exquisitus there, same as Twitter. ♥

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Yay, a new Tumblr friend! :) It was embarrassing, but not as embarrassing as it would have been was I much younger. Getting older has its benefits, hee.

And yeah, they do like the Pink at VS, right?

[helliongoddess.livejournal.com]

Go Mom, what a brave gal, hitting that game in that heat - she deserves some kind of true fan love recognition prize from the Reds someday. I was supposed to go to a game for our local team (AAA farm team for the Orioles) but I wimped out - I was having tummy troubles, and that combined with the heat, I just couldn't deal. The heat index here that day was about 117.

You sound like me - I only wear bras when I absolutely have to these days, the ravages of gravity be damned! But it does make for some iffy situations when surprise guests show up. "Err, if you would excuse me for just a minute..." *dash off for bedroom, arms holding boobage to avoid obvious jiggle* They all bother my shoulders and neck and just irritate the hell out of me, plus none of mine fit me right at the moment because of the weight loss, and it seems pointless to buy a bunch of new ones until I settle out where I am going to (hopefully!) stay. Also, the damn things make me HOT - and I don't mean that in a good, Victoria's Secret, Frederick's of Hollywood, kind of way!

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! I wish when I'd taken my mom to the game on her birthday that I'd had them put her up on the sign or something. :) She is a true fan-- she started watching the Reds when she was pregnant with me. It's a congenital thing, obviously. And I don't blame you. If we hadn't paid $40 a pop months ago, we might not've gone, either. Tummy troubles, the worst in that heat!

I don't mind wearing a bra, but mine was all sweaty and I peeled it off last night and haven't had a reason to get dressed today. :) Go you on the weight loss, and hopefully you'll get into a comfortable bra again.

I absolutely refuse to buy anything at Victoria's Secret due to the following conversation:

Me: Ma'am, I can't seem to find any bras in my size.
Saleslady: What size are you?
Me: 42D
Saleslady: Oh, we don't sell that size anymore. If you want to buy a bra that big you'll have to go to Lane Bryant or something.

[EDIT]: Upon looking this up, apparently Victoria's Secret doesn't sell ANY 40+ bras AT ALL. So if you're a 40C, nope, 42D, nope. Apparently girls with big boobs aren't sexy enough for Victoria's Secret. The assholes. *shakes fist at*

I left, absolutely FURIOUS. 42D isn't really THAT big. It's not an UNUSUAL size by any stretch of the imagination. So why Victoria's Secret now refuses to sell it is BEYOND me.

Oh! By the way! When I get paid on Tuesday i'm just going to go ahead and send the damn boxes to you. I'll PM you with how much the shipping was. LOL.

Did you ever send me your address? I can't remember if you did!

I was just resized yesterday and am apparently a 34E which is too big for VS* and too small for LB! Nordstroms and fancy stores it is, then.

*It might be the same as 34DD sometimes, but I know VS won't have much selection that would fit me.

Re: can relate

[conjure-lass.livejournal.com]

I was outdone when they told me to go to Lane Bryant! They don't sell X-Large panties now apparently either. I mean, what are they trying to say to girls who might happen to be above a size 12? That they're too fat for pretty bras?

*is still mad about it* *laughs*

Re: can relate

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Well, I am a size 12 and I used to wear their XL, too! I mean, on the occasions I wear underwear, why have tight ones?

It's too bad, because they had some great invisible panties (i.e., no lines).

Re: can relate

[conjure-lass.livejournal.com]

VS runs REALLY small, or so i've been told. I can't fit into a THING there. And i'm only a 14! It's not really THAT big!

Re: can relate

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

No, it's not! I was a size 16 a few years ago, and I used to shop there. They must have seriously downsized.

Re: can relate

[chomiji]

Once you know what styles you like, you can search online for the best prices in them at sites like Her Room and Fresh Pair.

(I'm a 40DD and I need extra-soft, comfy bras because I've had some surgery. In fact, I find Lane Bryant's bras highly uncomfortable.)

Re: can relate

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

OMG That Her Room has some really cute bras... I love demi cups, but can't find them in my size very much. I may have to order some! (Thank you for the links.)

Re: can relate

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Yow, that would be a tough size. I don't remember you being that cuppy but then it's been a while since I've seen you. :) Good thing you got sized, though, and at least know what is comfortable. I was having chest pains for a while and realized I was wearing bras that were too small around the back. It's so not obvious, sometimes.

And your icon... SNORK!!!!

Re: can relate

[anirt.livejournal.com]

I didn't think I was that cuppy either! I mean, I know when I gained weight a fair bit settled in my breasts. (It was sort of funny: it was around the belly for awhile and then one week it was if my body said. "OH. This isn't temporary, better rearrange the house and unpack." And suddenly it redistributed to the same shape I had before, just bigger.)

Somehow the gravity icon seemed appropriate. ;-)

[chomiji]

As a 40DD, I can relate.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Oh, man! I can't believe they don't carry those. I mean, they're a freaking lingerie store! They can at least specialize in undergarments, right? I was surprised to find four in my size, actually-- 38B. Right? If I had slightly less broad shoulders, I could wear the nearly most popular size, 36B. (I'm nearly 6' tall and big-boned.)

They do seem to have downsized, though, you're absolutely right... I used to get underwear there and was going to pick some up and noticed that there were no XL. I assumed they'd sold out. D'oh!

[conjure-lass.livejournal.com]

No ma'am! They just don't believe in selling XL panties anymore. GOD FORBID.

Yep..I was pretty mad when she told me that. I kind of looked at her like she was insane. Not her fault, obviously, but it didn't assuage my anger. LOL.

[lauand.livejournal.com]

Your TMIs are full of win. I never wear a bra when I'm alone, so when I suddenly stop being alone (someone comes unexpectedly) I have a very embarrasing moment because usually my nipples stand to attention to the point of them being able to poke an eye out of anyone; and my boobs aren't big, but in summer it's fairly obvious they're free and happy to see you, whoever you are.

[lauand.livejournal.com]

And, to be completely honest, I think it's unfair that I have to wear a bra only because women are supposed to wear it. I don't like it one bit, it's uncomfortable as hell and I rather let my boobs bounce as they will (for being so small, they sure are a happy pair), but I don't dare because, no matter what I like to believe, I do mind about what people will think about me. Dammit.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Ha, I don't mind wearing them, though it took me forever to start. Well, I was a junior in high school when I finally succumbed to peer pressure and got a bra (my mom was thrilled to take me to buy one).

I guess I learned to like cute ones, and having that thrusty cleavage. But a lot of times, it's really nice to go without.

(And I hear you on the pointy nips-- it's embarrassing, sometimes!)

[anirt.livejournal.com]

Having a good Sunday here. And thanks for getting amusement out of your stories and sharing them.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Yay for good Sundays! :) I'm soooo lazy today. THough I just put some fresh, farmers-market beets into the oven to roast.

[blade-kun.livejournal.com]

People usually wonder at me and my roommate, because he's a guy and I'm a girl, but we're not dating. This means when I'm getting dressed or ready I occasionally wander around without a shirt on, but never without pants, and I draw the line about there. Once I was out of the shower in nothing but a towel and he stopped me to talk about something, to which my response was, 'uh, hello, naked, towel, go away.'

And another falls to Tumblr. I was thinking of getting one, but it seems a little intimidating, and a bit more social than I usually indulge.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Haha, now that's comfort around the roommate!

Eh, I just use the Tumblr for short, quick whines and stuff. The format isn't really engaging and is a bit too short and quick for me. :)

[blade-kun.livejournal.com]

Well, I've known him eight years and he's practically my twin, so I don't mind looking like a wreck around him. Even so, I also try not to give him any ideas.

[rachel-reicheru.livejournal.com]

In Australia bras are really expensive wherever you go, for me $39 sounds like a bargain in the first place.

I've had embarrassing undies dropping moments before as well XD worst was when i was in school writing something on the board in my nice WHITE pants XD well you can imagine where i am going im sure. hahaha XD

It sounds like the game was fun? Did your team win?

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Wow, I rarely pay full price at Victoria's Secret if I can help it-- but I hope you're getting some awesome bras down under for those prices!

Oh, man... white pants. The nightmares females can experience with those!

(And they did win, yay!)

[chomiji]

Even with my recent drop in bra size, Vicky's still doesn't have any thing big enough for me and my girls.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

I hadn't realized they'd downsized so much... I mean, 38B was always hard to find. Like I said above, though, those sites you linked look awesome!

(Congrats on the weightloss, too!)

[moonlitcherub.livejournal.com]

Howdy.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Howdy back! :) (I see your Hakkai icon and raise you one...)

[moonlitcherub.livejournal.com]

Ooohhhhh..... yummy.... then again, Hakkai is just plain delicious.
