Wacoal wearers, Teppy has inspired me to get serious about this bra thing. Do Wacoals run true to size? Could I buy one online and not regret it?

Have I not taught you the bra-buying trick? Go to someplace like Nordstrom (and I assume Macy's, but I always go to Nordstrom) and get sized/fitted. Pay attention to which bras fit you the best! If your finances allow it, buy one bra from this excursion. Then go onto your favorite bargain-hunting website and find the make/model of the bra that worked best.

My perfect bra right now is a Wacoal style that runs upwards of $60. I get them brand new from eBay for around $20.

sara, it's your cornea. Don't mess around.

But ... then I can't buy one tonight! ::grumbles::

Amy, would you be willing to do a teleconference with my book club kids on Friday (not this week) but next? Feel free to say no!

My sistah! I found my OTB during the half yearly sale. I bought it on a whim, and now I'm addicted. I keep my eyes open for sales and whatnot.

Kat, absolutely! Just tell me what time and how you want to do it.

I vote for sweat + self-tanner. But yeah, embarrassing.

Bare Necessities has good sales sometimes. Got my OTB in bright red for over half off, once.

And when the police physically got to the car, they discovered he had a mobile meth lab

That is just Dewey Crowe levels of stupid. /Justified reference

Amy, Friday February 10 at 11:00 your time? Email me your phone number (msgullo @ me dot com) The kids won't have questions in place yet, probably but we'll talk about it this friday and I'll let you know.

I'm in an online discussion about street harrassment, with this conservative Republican attorney who is shocked! shocked! that women get harrassed in public so much, and why hasn't anyone done anything about it? Why isn't it called out in popular culture?

Um, it is in my culture. But, you know, I'm not a dude of privilege. t deleted rant about rape culture and the patriarchy

Good on you, 'Suela, for being able to have a rational discussion about it, because I honestly don't have the patience to "educate" dudes about this shit. Work it out for your own selves, dudes. (not dudes here.)

Didn't we have a kerfuffle about the phrase No Vagina, No Opinion? I will refrain from repeating that.

Nordstrom does fittings? I have been trying to find a place that does fittings. I do not have a Nordstrom around, but maybe Macy's will work.

Nordie's is totally known for their fittings, and is probably second only to actual old-school lingerie shops with like, old Russian women or something. Haven't heard anything about if Macy's is good.

I probably need to go get fitted, but the common wisdom and issues I have suggest I need a smaller band, but when my bras are new the band barely fits! So not sure how that's about.
