I enjoy being a girl

I was just checking the Victoria's Secret sale catalog and noticed that a whole bunch of the bra descriptions read, "If you don't have the same size, why would you have the same padding

Although I'm large, my breasts aren't really, proportionally, and they're also a bit walleyed. So I was curious about what a push-up bra would do. But it turns out that they don't even make 'em in my size! So I think the answer is that a D cup (which I am not -- I'm a B, but I'm assuming) doesn't get a push-up at all. Also, Victoria's Secret can bite me.

Also, Victoria's Secret can bite me.

Hmmm, probably a lot of guys say that too.

Do you know how hard it is to find a push up bra for a C cup? I wanted a little extra oomph when I wear my wench outfit to faire, but I spent ages looking for one (even tried VC) before I finally found ones in my size at Lane Bryant. I think the bra industry thinks that if you've got 'em, they're naturally perky and don't need any extra help to fight gravity.

Yeah, I was gonna say -- they don't even MAKE a push-up style in a D.

Weird, the catalog has those sizes listed under the descriptions of the push-up bras and padded bras and suchlike. However, I've never actually shopped for a D--if I ordered one of those styles in a D, would I just get a bra that looked the same but had no pushup bits?

(I'm not even sure why I want to know this. I have no surgeries scheduled.)

I think they do, but don't carry them in the stores, or if they do, it's just a few and they sell out fast. I had a hard time finding anything above a C last time I went into a VS (which was a long time ago, I doubt very much they make anything in my current size).

I can't help remembering A Stress Analysis of a Strapless Evening Gown. Please bear in mind it was written in 1956. Somewhere I still have the little paperback, a collection of science humor essays, with that title. I also found this: the author himself presenting this work 50 years later.

I like how Bikini is still capitalized. ("It hardly covers anything atoll!")

The 50 years later link seems not to be working.

Also, I was wishing the diagram read "cantilevered highbeam".

That's great, in a "don't let the radical feminists know I said it was great" kind of way.

You mean this wasn't about codpieces?
