Girls now want smaller breasts when having boob jobs | The Sun |News

I so want to be happy about this, but I’m not. Here’s the thing. The issue, for me, isn’t about how big or small the breasts are, it’s about society and our constant norming of women’s bodies. Who gives a shit what the upcoming “trend” in boob surgery is?  But here it is–a “huge” boost. Girls now want smaller breasts when having boob jobs | The Sun |News.

I’ve got to admit, I prefer this from Drew Barrymore, who says that the wrinkles and sagging are part of life. That said, she also contends that she’ll just stop “appearing before the camera” when things get too dicey. Hey there Drew–keep appearing in front of the camera!

Something to Think About? With the right bra, everything stays in place | delawareonline.com | The News Journal

I have been fitted for a bra many times, and I have to admit, the bras I purchased (or that were purchased for me by my mother because my fittings happened when I was younger) did fit well. I’ve read several articles lately about fittings and thought maybe I should put this out there and see what you all think about fittings and bras. I’m getting pretty darned comfortable without one, but I’m wondering what it would be like to have a tighter band–eesh!

Rise in number of Man Boob (MOOB) jobs–HUH?

While there is something in this story (maybe the fact that men are reacting to unrealistic expectations of beauty too) that strikes a note of fairness (probably not the right word–perhaps “equality”…), I have to say that a rise in plastic surgery for men is NOT a good thing.

More thoughts on bralessness…

You really do become accustomed to the comfort of not wearing a bra. This week, because I was able to stay in and write and study and bake oatmeal cookies (I seem to be in a compulsive baking/eat oatmeal cookie cycle right now), I was also able to be free of straps, clasps, cups, and wires most days.

Now, when I say that I am accustomed to the comfort, what I mean is that I am as comfortable (or more–the jury is still out) without a bra than I am with one, but that my comfort is largely dependent on both situation and mode of attire. For instance, at home, wearing a sweatshirt layered over a cotton t-shirt, I am most comfortable sans Ms. Bali Bra. However, if I decide to don a lightweight white cable-knit sweater, I am more comfortable with one. I’m no fashionista, but there are still some looks I am not comfortable enough to carry off with confidence. Saggy boobs in a white sweater is one.

But I’m working on it. Because the truth is, I found myself this week reaching for my baggier sweatshirts simply because I didn’t want to wear a bra. Now this is a step in the right direction, but I do have some cuter clothes I could be wearing. I’m pretty happy with my half-time bra-wearing status, but I’d love it if I were more comfortable in my body (just the way it is) and thus in all my clothes!!!

Happy Sunday!
