Foundation Foray
Wed Sep 21 2005


I woulda been here yesterday, but before I even had stepped into the nice hot bath, they called me to work. I told them I would be there as soon as I could, but that I was starting from the toes in the water stage. They said no problem, I said okay, as long as we have an understanding.

Tonight is writer's group and I really want to make it, as I skipped it last time 'cause I was having a bad day physically. We are going over two longer pieces this meeting, instead of everybody's short work. It's a new thing we are doing.
One person has submitted the first two chapters of her novel. The other, the first chapter only.



I hate to bring it up,

(But notice that this does not stop her from continuing..... oh the inconsistency I suffer through around here.)

but I have come to the dreaded conclusion that I must hie me over to the department store and seek out some kind of suitable foundation garments.

I am armed with all the wisdom gained from watching the Oprah program with the two women from England who passed on the bit of wisdom that women of my age need to purchase some "sturdy underwear". I now am aware that I need to buy a bra that is actually a size or two bigger than I think I should wear, and that magically this will solve some of my foundation garment issues.

Sports bras just don't cut it anymore.

Sigh.

So I am getting psyched up to try on about 40 bras today. And I am not coming home without one that fits right but doesn't make me look like a hooker either.

Sounds simple right?

We shall see......

    I don't put this forth as a solution to undergarments, especially for the superstructure, but I have no need for such contraptions any more. I just wish vanity would let me go flatchested in public.

    As for your snack, I wish you hadn't mentioned it. Now I wont be satisfied until I've stocked up.

    Shalom

    If you're looking for good sturdy foundation underclothing, you could try something like that get-up Madonna sported a few years back. I'd say that falls into the "solid" category.

    There in nothing simple about bra shopping; absolutely nothing.

    It makes sense to me, but I don't envy your task. To me there's nothing worse. Have a good day and hope you make it to the writing group meeting. ;-)
