trinityvixenI love how when the only man coming to writing group is delayed, the ladies all set to talking about bra shopping. It makes me glad to hear (and sad, too, of course) that it is a universally trying process. No matter your cup size or circumference about the chest, there's always something that makes it impossible to buy bras at one point or the other. I'm not saying that we should be glad of this, but it's nice to know that women are as unique as I like to think we all are.
It also occurred to me in our discussion of prices that it's not fair there's not similiarly expensive must-have for men. I suppose a sports cup comes close, but not really. Makes me think of this presentation we saw in health class in high school about gender equality. Made me think of subconscious ways in which the gender war has gone in the era of political correctness. Yes, we should be damned worried about the overturning of Roe v. Wade, but there are still other, less obvious deficiencies that need looking after. One of them is the bra, oddly enough, more specifically the Wonder-bra. The presentation in health class I saw proposed we institute the "wonder-jock," a device to make a man's package more prominent in the way the wonder-bra enhanced smaller bust lines and put larger ones just that much more out there.
I think there was a proto-feminist rant in there somewhere, but I haven't the energy to keep it going.

Date: 2005-10-15 01:56 am (UTC)I still cant find a bra that works with a halter top for under $45 *grumbles*
but between sport bras, strapless, backless, the hated backless strapless (they use this as a form of tourture in some countries i think), low cut, and the infamous i just dont care bra.
Being a girl sucks. Sometimes the free drinks in the bars are just not worth it....
