The newest bra, the biofit, promises to fit "your shape, your cup size". If I wanted that, I'd go au naturale. I've always felt if women were meant to have biological integrity, the push up would've never made it out of 8th grade gym class (where it never did us a bit of good anyway, since we did them the girly way). The whole point of a bra, I feel, is visual deception about YOUR shape and YOUR cup size. I don't want MY shape or MY cup size. I want Angelina Jolie's. My theory of a good bra, at least for someone minimally endowed, is this:
This is a pomello. A larger, sweeter version of a grapefruit. Because Todd first discovered them in Thailand, he calls them by their Thai name pronounced "somo". With almost a full inch of rind, the outside gives an enhanced perception of the real fruit inside. Should I take offense to the fact that Todd refers to my favorite "revolutionary" bra as a somo bra? Nevermind. I'm okay with biological dishonesty.

So what is your theory of a good bra for those of us that are "maximumly endowed?" The only thing I can think of is duct tape. Ouch.

I also thought of a jack in the box type of restraint, similar also to the snake in the can. The only worry would be if the integrity of the "box" was ever compromised. Anyone within a 3 foot radius better run for cover.:)

Pook, all you need is a good "over the shoulder boulder holder" :)
While we're on the subject, last summer I bought my first ever Victoria's Secret bra. This wasn't exactly a "revolutionary" experience, but it was enlightening. However, knowing that I needed another bra, the mom in me couldn't justify buying another bra of vicki's. So I went to wal-mart to find the knock-off "Secret Treasures" brand. I ended up with something that reminds me of a bullet-proof bra (because it's so thick that if you shot it, the bullet probably wouldn't make it all the way through). You could drive over this bra with an eighteen-wheeler and still not compromise it's structural integrity. I only wear it on days I feel in danger of being assasinated.
I love your family Alli! You guys are so funny! I need a bra like that now that I have nursed 4 babies! What I have just isn't doing the trick!
Let's just put it this way I must have missed the day in heaven when they were giving women big breasts, because that is not something I was blessed with. Glad to know that I am not the only one who has to be biologically dishonest. I am just waiting for Victoria Secret to come up with a bra to help the woman who really need it instead of helping those who already have it push it up to look even bigger.
Like when tall people where heels. Heels are for those of us who are short to catch up! It doesn't do us any good if the tall people are wearing them too!
