The Blue Area, Better Bras, and My Mini-Bosom

Is it verboten to write about my blog hits? I think it may be, so here I go. More than one person and the dog have been looking at my blog. Not like as many as anybody else's, but a few more. Like maybe three, two hamsters, and the dog. But there are a lotta people in the blue section on my stats page. That means that a lotta new people are coming to look. Not clear that any are returning. Oh who am I kidding? Clear that many are running for their lives. So my concern is: who the fuck are these people, or small animals, what do they want, and what am I doing to scare them away? Here is my theory, and please forgive me if it seems a bit harsh: they're all mainstream, narrow-minded, nose-pickers, and when they read my blog, and realize that it is not porn, I am not warm and cozy, and I truly dislike Oprah, they scatter in fear. Whaddaya think? My other theory is that the site is mediocre so a buncha people come and read and then never come back. Aw, but that's so far-fetched. And don't write in re-assuring me that I am simply the undiscovered voice of females everywhere who wish they felt comfortable writing about vaginal discharge. I know.

Also, my bras don't fit. Chrystal taught me to wear a lightly-lined bra to work so that my nipples aren't sticking out like weapons - I'm a clear shot at thirty feet - but that isn't quite working anymore. Those bras sorta lose their shape, or something. So they're sticking out, and my tits are just like 'hey! we're over here.' I am at that strange size of needing a bra but having small breasts. They are remarkably perky, so I no longer feel gypped for having missed the massive-tit breastfeeding experience. I did breastfeed, but my tits did not get that much bigger. They were spouting fountains, but they were no more than a C.

Anyhoo, yesterday, once again, Chrystal has on this hot-as-evvuh Victoria's Secret bra (not linking to that exploitive establishment) that fits her perfectly. When I asked a bra lady to help me find my actual real true bra size, she said I was a 30DD and that the whole real bra size thing is a crock. At this point I'm a near-B - thank you Playtex - but maybe I should be an A and pop the hell outta there. I'm returning the 2 bras I ordered and heading over to Victoria Slut Bras. It's not just the size, it's not just vanity, it's the fact that my sister, Ms. My-tits-are-Bigger, saw one of my bras lying around in my clothes mound, and she was like "sexy bra." And she did not mean it, except with bosomy sarcasm. I looked at it after she left - "I'm not into that whole sexy lingerie thing" I had lamely replied "- and it was like 2 triangles of beige I don't-wanna-fuckness.

If you are a new reader, and after reading this, you are thinking 'get me the hell outta here,' I plead with you to try again. My next entry will be about something super-important: I'm thinking of why people like me so much, or maybe why I hate Hilary Clinton. Otherwise, I'd hand out candy and stickers, but that might seem a bit pathetic.

  1. I keep coming back because you make me laugh! But I've been told I have no taste because I like the Three Stooges too.

  2. My friend just sent me a link to a clip on new york magazine, in which some spokeswoman hack defends her company's decision to market nipple tint to women. She claims that women want attention drawn to her nipples, but I am with you on this.

    And I continue to think that you might be my real mother. Well, I am a lot like my real mother too, but we must be related somehow.

  4. Well, I'm a new reader, and think this post rocks, actually. Just thought I'd let you know.
    (On bras: when I lived overseas, I wore a size 75 or 80 bra. Hell yeah, gotta love those centimeters!)

    Hey---I take my bra very seriously!!! First off---you have to get the right size. If you lived in NYC I would send you there to this little old lady who will find your true size. second--victoria's secret do not make bras for big breasts well. They make bras for big Implants well, because Implants don't need support, and they make bras for small chested gals because of all the padding and pushing they build in.I am a nice 36 C/ D depending on cut---and that place makes me crazy. AND!! Who has $42 dollars to spend on a bra??? Not I. And Bras should be tax deductable. As should Tampons. And Advil. I think I am done. Wait!!! I read your blog frequently.....and where is the stats page?? I didn't know there was one.

  7. Okay like what the fuck with Blogger? I had missed all of these loverly breast comments and now here you all are.

    Penny - the stats page is um Statcounter, right, and they tell you who has been lurking. I can't believe I would know a tech thing that someone else doesn't know, so I'm kinda assuming you knew that already?

  8. And another thing: Sage, The Three Stooges? Ack! Last night I dreamed my hair was all falling out and now this. I want nothing to do with those Stooges, although I do remember laughing heartily as a kid. Moe creeped me out even then, though. What an asshole.

    Regarding bras - now I am really confused. And nipple tint. Is that like better to have darker nipples? Or better to have them an altogether different color, like green, maybe?

    Suzanne, if I am your mother then you are the daughter I never had when I was fifteen, right? That's okay, I'm progressive. couldja get over here and look after your little sister?
