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.

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.

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.

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.
