Last week I grabbed my husband’s iPad, went to the Hips & Curves site, and asked him to choose at least three items that aesthetically appealed to him. I explicitly instructed him not to consider what he thinks I like, or what he would like to see me in…but to just choose what he likes. […]
I’m back. Sort of…
Yeah, I sort of took an unannounced break. Holidays, parents, a dozen good books, and a zillion thoughts on where I’m going and the blog is headed – it all got jumbled together and turned into a break. Sorry. But I’m back, and I’ve come to a few conclusions. I don’t want to be […]
Why I Won’t Segregate Plus Size Clothes (or women).
Clothes have been on my mind a bit lately. More specifically – how size and fit (and the women who wear them) are described and categorized. Being challenged by wide shoulders, bigger boobs, and wide shelves for hips, I run into my share of lingerie and clothing fit challenges. But the one I wasn’t prepared […]
Review: Pour Moi Addicted Half Cup Bra 4702 in 38G U.K.
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there are a few sexy, strappy little bra numbers emerging in larger cup sizes in online stores. The Figleaves Boudoir Carmen, and the Pour Moi Addicted half cup are representative of the designs large-busted women have been begging for. The sexy, black lace Addicted line from Pour Moi? is […]
Hollywood Halloween
Earlier this month, we took a quick trip to Hollywood to visit Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights. While we were there, we decided to go totally tourist and dropped by downtown Hollywood for a quick visit to the Hollywood Wax Museum and Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood at Universal Citywalk. My goal isn’t to bore you with […]
The Sexy (R)evolution.
The current blog series in the Boob Blogosphere is about Redefining Sexy – how sexy is interpreted by individual bloggers, including commentary about society and the place “sexy” occupies in the social conscience. *** I think sexy has changed. The use and implication of the word has changed…. Sexy used to be sensual. The “Old […]
Review: Figleaves Boudoir Carmen 132512 in 36G U.K.
Oh, how we FF+ cup girls cry the bitter blues over the lack of sexy lingerie in our cup sizes. For some reason, most of the lingerie that looks like this…. …generally isn’t made in sizes above a U.K. F cup. So we dream and cry and lust after lingerie that is too small […]
Update on Altering Bra Band Tension for a Better Fit
Last month I posted about how I suspected a few of my key fit issues weren’t because of bra style, but because of the uneven bra band tension I experience in some (okay, all) bras, in my post “It’s not the bra style, it’s your bra band tension!”. Since I’ve had three bras altered, and […]
Momgerie (otherwise known as sleepwear).
I used to sleep naked. Blissfully, comfortably naked before I became Mom. Our son is now sleeps through the night, and 2 a.m. “MOM” screams from upstairs are rare, and usually illness induced. Once in a while, I turn of my Mommy ears and sleep naked. Usually during the shoulder seasons when it’s not too […]
Review: Nudwear Boyshort
Nudwear contacted me last month and asked if I’d like to review one of their bottoms. Since I am underwear-challenged, I was excited to try something new, especially since the Nudwear boyshorts design is a bit outside my normal style selection. The first thing I noticed was that the Nudwear boyshort microfiber fabric is very […]
