A series of potentially awkward haiku
Searching high and low
For one to keep me lifted
I’m brassiere shopping
White is so boring
But practical and useful
When it comes to bras
No black negligee
Or polka-dot straps for me
Just a simple one
Remember the time
When my underwire popped up
At the grocery store?
My only white bra
Is now in the garbage can
Bra-less is trashy
Sick of wearing black
I have nice white shirts to wear
But they are see-through
So I’m on the hunt
Like a stealthy lioness
One that needs a lift
But do not be fooled
By my cat-like behavior
Leopard print? No thanks
You can keep your lace
And your strapless push-up wares
Sensible will do
These are expensive
I do not have sixty bucks
I’ll go to Target
All of my money
Would be better spent on gas
But I need support
Thirty-four C cup
Or a thirty-six B cup?
Always a toss-up

HILARIOUS.
Why the freakin’ heck are bras so dang EXPENSIVE?! And seriously, I love Victoria’s Secret because I love the way their bras FIT – but $45 for a BRA?!?! UGH.
I often tend toward the “flesh colored” ones, so I don’t have to worry about the color showing through as much.
not that i’m sharing my own bra habits or anything, but hypothetically speaking, the nude bra might be a better bet (rebecca is a smart woman). And i’ve HEARD that having one fun bra (say, with colorful polka dots) that you can wear on a day when you might be feeling particularly down can be internally uplifting (and externally, i suppose) because only YOU know that you have happy polka dots gracing your bosom, and it’s your fun little secret all day long. Hypothetically speaking, of course.
The nude bra isn’t white enough for this white girl. :) I wish bras came in varying flesh colors, like Cover Girl. I would get the “Natural Ivory” or the “In the Buff” and be completely undetectable.
And I’ve got me some fun bras. Just no white bra. So it’s basically the most boring purchase of all time, the most unexciting expenditure of money I can possibly think of, next to, maybe, chard.
I was just hit with a wave of AWKWARD BLOG, ANNIE. Too late now…
oh my
mom
You are SO hilarious, Annie. Can’t wait to see you in person. Who knew we’d all know your bra size if we read your blog long enough????
too much information???
they are way too expensive though.
LOL How long did that take to come up with like 10 undergarment haikus? That’s pretty hilarious.
I’ve a sense of pride
For contributing sports bras.
Moving Comfort lives.
oh man, just another reason why you are my favorite newest friend…
your mom’s comment cracks me up.
Erin is also a smart woman. Hypothetically speaking, of course. :)
And Annie, I’m whiter than you are. But I love that Cover Girl idea… ;)
White is too white
Nude is not nude at all
Self-tanner torso
or do what I do – speaking as one white girl girl to another… and buy the shell pink. It’s actually closer to my skin color and virtually disappears under white clothes. I got the idea when a black friend of mine told me she wears black or chocolate brown bras under white clothes so there’s no contrast. Brilliant!
All this talk of bras and flesh and money has me blushing…
(don’t know m’self why the latter makes me blush but it DOES!)
lordy.
LOL!! I love that no man dares comment on this post!! HA!
Ooo, Debs, great idea!
I personally love the outlet stores for bra purchasing…Legs, Bali, Hanes, anyone? I found a fantastic couple of bras there last time I had to venture out and decide myself…36 B or 34 C? Such a decision.
Me? I’m a Calvin Klein girl. They’re softer and cheaper than Vicki’s Secret anyhow… when they’re on sale.
That and target.
That was quite awkward.
