If clothing designers say their outfits look best while jumping off a bridge, do we do that too?

I found this site linked through Hoyden About Town.

Two further things I hated are:

1. "Our bras are designed to position the breasts halfway between the shoulder and the elbow, which is what clothing designers intended."

Yes. Definitely the solution to this problem of clothes not fitting is for bodies to fit the whims of the designers, not to encourage designers to recognise that there is no one body size and shape and maybe there could be a broader range of fits and styles.

2. "You cannot slouch in our bras."

I DO NOT WANT CLOTHES IN WHICH I CANNOT SLOUCH. I like slouching. I know it's not "attractive", (and probably makes clothing designers really mad) but that doesn't say "comfort" to me, it says "constricting".


Our windows are in. But I don't have a curtain rail anymore, something to do with the supports being too brittle. Which is fine, we can get a new one. But I don't know how to put it up and I'm worried I'll do it wrong and it will all break.

I hadn't heard about that! Bizarre.

I don't think I've ever had perky breasts. Mine are nice and malleable instead.

Mine were never in any way perky either. I used to get very irritable with historical novelists who went on and on about how firm their young heroines' breasts were, because mine kind of showed up in their present form over the course of about six months when I was thirteen and then stayed that way.

I kept finding descriptions in erotic literature about "perky 42 Es", which seemed highly unlikely to me.

Only if they're silicone, which just looks really strange as far as I'm concerned. One of the aerobics teachers I had was artificially enhanced, and her boobs didn't bounce. Really, really weird.
