I've Been Neglecting This

So I haven't posted in a good long time. Well...here's my beef today, bra's. Particularly bra's sold in stores I would love to buy bras from, like Lane Bryant and Torrid. My problem, in comparison to other fat ladies, I am a member of the itty bitty titty committee. I am not a size D or larger. I am a C or a B depending on what kind of bra. Now here comes the beef, whenever you look at bras in these stores for larger women, you look at their C's and they look like another places D or DD! It drives me bonkers! And I'm very leary of ordering bras online from these places because of it. There is no Lane Bryant or Torrid store in Montana. Not one. So I can't go try anything on to check and see what size I am. Because these stores only use a couple of brands as far as I've seen; it'd be easy for me to figure out what to buy if I had a store near here. But their isn't so I can't, and therefore I am stuck.

Now here in Billings I'm better off than some larger lady up in bum-fucking-nowhere Montana. We do have stores that do cater...somewhat, to larger womens bustier needs. JCPenny has some decent bras, but only two of the designers they carry (of like seven or eight) actually go above a 38. I am a 40, now imagine how pissed that makes me when I see the cutest bra, but it only goes up to a 38. Herbergers, you have a little better selection as the bra's they carry aren't really centered on teeny boppers or women who are very thin. But then here's the problem, you have your choice of...white, red, skin tone, black. All the pretty colors and cute patterns are only available in, you guessed it, up to 38. Then we have this lovely lingerie store, and they have nice panties and good bras...the problem, they never have sales, or their sale items are only in itty bitty sizes. They also tend to only carry smaller sizes in their panties. You look at the size 4-7 panty sections and you see a ton of cute panties, you get to size 8+ and the panties are suddenly all of the same make and design, just in different colors. Oh and have I mentioned price? $32.00+ for a bra and I think the cheapest pair of panties they have is $8.00 for one pair. Now I'm not poor by any means, and I know the average price of a bra is at least $30, and I've seen bra's go above $50. But, Penny's and Herbergers have sales on occasion. Like on Black Friday, Penny's was selling almost all their bras for basically $15 a pop. So I went looking and ran into the whole no cute bra's in my size problem.

And this issue leads me back to the whole larger women's stores having outrageous sizes for bras. As I said I'd love to shop their. They have some of the cutest bras! A friend of mine who is on the small size of large by not quite small enough to be considered normal bought some bras from them and loves them! But she lives near Salt Lake City. Somehow I'm pretty sure there's a Lane Bryant near there. She is also not itty bitty in the titty area.

So that's my rant for the day.

Been a While!

So, it's been a while since I wrote. To start, my boyfriends visit went well, regardless of him putting his foot in his mouth once. XD But guys do that, must guys don't know how to be tactful. Other than that, things have been snowballing around here and rapidly headed towards finals. I'm feeling pretty good and all my planetickets for the holiday season are purchased and planned out.

Now, recently the news has been concentrating on things that I really don't care about. "Are Brad and Angelina breaking up?" "Sara Palin's Book!" "Rosies Love Life Revealed!" and about that one chick who supposedly made some sex tapes. Ok whatever I do not care. Could you please cover something that is actually newsworthy and not complete bullshit. You know this is the reason I got rid of my cable. There's nothing worth watching on. And the only reason I hear what I do hear is that the TV's on campus are turned to CNN, MSNBC, and all those other news shows. It drives me nuts. Grrrr, hate the media.
