girl stuff behind the obligatory lj cut...

Period rant.

I'm one of those dames who takes the pill three or four months without the week off of hormones so I don't get a period every month. Well, this month is break month, so I've got my period. Boy, do I have it. Not heavy, but CRAMPS! I HATE CRAMPS!! I hate the rest of it, too, but cramps are the worst...Yuck. I hate being a girl.

Bra rant.

What the hell is the point of an A cup bra having underwire? There's nothing there to support, really, so why the piece of coat hanger under my tits? The extra support only makes what little is there slightly more perky than it would be without the hardware. A man musta come up with that idea...

Then there's the padding/no padding debate. Bras in my size either have a matress worth of padding/shove-em-together-to-make-em-look-bigger fortune cookie looking things or are as thin as tee shirt material. On the padded extreme, one looks obviously padded and false, particularly if one doesn't fill up the cups with their business. On the other extreme, if one gets a case of titty hard-on, one's nipples are so prominent through the thin material that one could cut glass with one's erect nipples through it...Me, I prefer the middle ground. Hanes her way cotton back hook no underwire bras are just the right amount of padding. And, they are notoriously hard to find, likely cuz everyone else likes em, too. Is everyone in Kenosha a 34 A for Gods' sake!??

Colors are also an issue for grrls who belong to the ittybittytitty committee. White, black, or beige. In the cotton hanes her way white or grey. More colors are available with that damned wire stuff. Anyway, I found some colored bras without the confounded wire that aren't terribly padded, either! Hanes her way has a new line that has soft cups without wire and vasarette has a "wireless" line now, too. I got plum, that funky lite flourescent lime sorta color and one that looks like a groovy shower curtain pattern from the sixties in turquoise, white and purple flowers! If the girls could talk, they would be SO EXCITED!!!

Alright, enough venting. Time for a hot bubble bath with The Communist Manifesto and then bed.

I get cramps midmonth even though I had a hysterectomy. I wonder if it's a sort of phantom pain syndrome? But they're pretty weak, Advil and boom! gone, unlike the ones I got when I still had periods.

I'll gladly donate some of my boobage. I would like to buy bras that have less than three or four hooks. Pretty bras in my size=useless. That and I wonder why it is they have so many soft cup nothings in a 42D? Might as well go without for all the good they do.

boobage...

There are some times when I wish I was better endowed, but for the most part I'm glad I got small ones in the tit lottery. I've had too many female friends over the years tell me their stories of woe about their bigguns.;/

I have to say the only time I've really wished for bigger boobs was during high school when looking for the rare formal dance dress and for my wedding. The only time I've ever done the falsies thing was for my wedding gown. I had the seamstress sew bra cups into the bodice. They were lined with this rough sorta tricot lining-and they ITCHED!!! But I was a B cup that day and no one (except mom and DH) was the wiser!

I swear, half the girl women at school have to be stuffin' or otherwise enhanced. I can't believe so many borderline anorexic looking chicks can have such big hooters! I mean, I know it's possible, but boobs are fat! How can a girl be so lucky as to be so skinny with such incredibly lucky fat placement?

Then again, back in the day when I weighed like 95 pounds I had a 23 inch waist and 38 hips! ZOWIE! Baby got back! Now baby's got more back--I gained like sixty pounds and where did most of it go? Certainly not on my chest, I can tell you that much.:) And people wonder why I favor really big shirts and baggy pants--camouflage!

I've noticed that, the skinny youngster with big fat hooters. I'm thinking bra help is a big factor, though some may be implanted. I had a roommate who was a little 5'3" 90 pounder and she was all boobs. Hers sagged mightily at 20. Certain industrial strength shape and form bras would give her a more rounded shape up top.

I lost in the ass lottery, dammit. I always had a flat ass up until about the past year. I'd love an ass that sticks out! As well as hips. I have absolutely none!! Ah well... I guess the boobage makes up I think...
