Life...and other afflictions

The rantings and uninteresting events of my life

While I was unpacking and packing all clothes into my new chest of drawers, I realised I have some really weird looking bras...that are kinda ugly..but bra shopping always makes me feel desperate and depressed, so sometimes I buy weird things..just cos they sort of fit.

With the usual sizes in Singapore being 70A or 75B, I can never find anything. Han says she should be so lucky...but it really sucks. You see such pretty things hanging in the shops, like the Triumph Deep V...so sexy..but never in my size. Nothing I can even squeeze into...although salesgirls always try hard to convince me to buy another size. Doesn't work though..cos if the band is too loose, the bra will ride up once I lift my arms...Han will remember how I raised my eyebrows and rolled my eyes at this salesgirl who tried to convince me that I needed band size 75...

In any case, the one she insisted I try was really not a good fit, even if it was a nice bra.

So I went to another place in search of another Triumph counter (cos they said in their ads that they now have bras in F cup as well) and the first lady there was like "What? F cup?" as if I'd asked her for neon pink oranges or something. Then she asked her colleague, who was better in the know...and she showed me the extremely tiny selection of bras. I said, "Sorry, they're just not really nice looking" and she sagely mused: "Hmm...you know, it's like people. The slimmer people look nicer than fat people. So probably small bras look nicer than big bras also." Hmmm...ok

Which I guess is true...big bras tend to look like granny property. They are either plain, huge and nude...or lacy like a wedding cake. WHY can't they have normal-looking bras? Cos only old overweight grannies wear such bras? Well, seriously, now that so many people are going for plastic surgery anyway, can't they sell bigger bras that are prettier? Also, considering the women in all those erotic mags and catalogues, there must be a market for non-granny bras...although I am not sure I want PVC or leather. :P
