Last presents bought for mda. He said don't go too crazy, such I just got him 4 (or maybe 5--I don't know whether #5 is something we could both use or not). Then I went on a bra-buying hunt. Ah, yes, me and bras. Such a complicated relationship. I bought 3 in January, but only 1 I like, and I had even tried them on and did twists, turns, and bows.

I bought mostly practical things this time around, and tried them on again. I don't like the bras that have that pre-molded look, which are the 2 bras I bought in January that I don't like. I thought they would make me look shapely and proper, but they cut at the edge of my flesh in the front and, yep, 4 boob-look. I like things that are stretchy and move w/you, and have lace. I tried on 4 and only 1 fit even though 3 were the same size. So I had to trudge out again and thought I'd try different sizes. Turns out I'm still too big for 34 C, a little too small for 36 C (which I've been for close to 20 years if not that), and too big for 36B (thank god. I have nothing against B-cups, but I might as well get the gravitas along w/the hunched shoulders). Bra buying has got to be one of the hardest things around in the clothes buying world. You can go Playtex, but even those might not look right. As an example, I did get 1 of those--$9, yeah!--and it looks just like the other ones--fits me fine around the ribcage, leaves just a taint of ripply fabric at the top. Sigh. I had my favorite styles, which I lost and then found again years ago (possibly during the bra-buying trip I wrote about for my 30th b-day). Why didn't I buy 100 of these things? I haven't seen them in a while. Maybe I should start shopping on line, and find the bras at the manufacturers I know. Oh, Olga, I love you. You pretty much have it going on compared to Vanity Fair. Although, now that I come to think of it, I did buy 2 Vanity Fairs.

Then, on a whim, I bought tap pants/boy shorts, whatever. "Boy shorts" is incorrect for these, b/c they're lacy. I've always been reluctant to buy them b/c they look just cutey sexy as anything, but I know I do not have a butt or thighs like the ones shown in the ads. But they were on sale and, fuck, I need something to bring a little joy to my life right now (I know spring's here, and the longer days are definitely working, but not enough). So, shoot, I brought them home, put them on, and they're cute! Yeah, i can still see the cellulite in all the usual places, but I had this fear that these cute shorts were going to squeeze the cellulite out and emphasize it. Like buying what looks like it will be a great bathing suit and it just highlights the ripples under the skin. No, they make me (or actually, my mid-riff and the top of my thighs) still look like me, but cute! They're seriously about as good looking as I could have hoped.

I have learned over the years that us men are generally impressed by nice bras and not nice breasts! This is a great dissapointment to both men and women! There's too much presentation involved and not enough reality!

However, at least men are able to gauge what's being offered! Women only can gain a slight idea of what sort of junk is in the trunk of a man without at least some exploration!

So, the Wonderbra, or those bras with gel inserts aren't your cup o tea? I always wonder about breast augmentation in that case. Yeah, fake breasts look great (from certain angles), and plastic surgeons do search for that "natural feel," but I'm wondering how it really feels.

As for men's offerings, what's considered attractive on men for women (I'm thinking of that Diet Coke commercial a few years ago), are a guy's chest and butt (not counting the junk in the trunk). Both of those are pretty accessible unless men start wearing Wonderbriefs to make their asses look more shapely. The junk in the trunk we're not expecting to look pretty (but, oh yeah, there are other expectations, of course).

I meant that breasts can be presented! They are generally large enough that they can be molded into various forms in various sorts of bras so that when viewed they are more appealing than they are when naturally let out!

I have not personally encountered women who have had breast augmentation surgery! However, if you are aware of any who may need attention after a recent breakup/etc and live in the chicago metropolitian area, please send them my way. This is an issue I would like to develop an opinion about!

I'm aware that a man's size does not play a huge role in his ability to please! I understand the interaction of the tongue, fingers, etc is frequently far more exciting! However, I would think that dropping a man's pants and finding nothing to be impressed by would be kinda like me taking a woman's incredibly bulky sweatshirt top off and finding someone with a 34A bra size. I'm sure we could both have a good time with our not-so-thrilling-parts but we'd certainly rather we encountered larger stuff! For me, however, the small top would generally be known...in a worst case maybe I may have misjudged her due to pushing/inserts/etc for a 36B. However, its not that much of a dissapointment. Men are a whole 'nother cup of beans and its largely impossible to tell what their packing without excessive grinding!

This is what I get for going to work...

I don't know of any women off hand. And none of my guy friends claims to have dated woman w/breat implants. I do know a guy who danced w/a woman w/implants, and he said they had no "give." Well, you can always watch _Elimidate_. Every once in awhile, 1 of the Alpha females early in the show will demand to feel another woman w/big boobs up to see whether her competition is real or not. Doesn't give you that tactile understanding, but for anyone attracted to women, it's got to be a lot of fun (shit, it's fun for me to watch).
