For all your hard-to-fit women out there...

They have a huge gamut of sizes, ranging from 28G to 56B at the moment. Those sizes are not typos.
For Sourceress (Sorceress?) on page 3, here's what Figleaves has at the moment:
36A: 831 results
36B: 1514 results
38B: 1168 results
40B: 268 results
Plus they have free shipping & free returns, and no sales tax.
I sent my sister there after she told me it was impossible to find a 38A bra in her shopping in NYC.
As the bearer of 40D breasts myself, I grew up with teasing too, and being ashamed of my breasts as a teen. The pinnacle I think was when I broke a bra strap in gym class running laps in high school, and being hooted at by the boys.
But now at 36 years old, I'm a lot more accepting of them, and sometimes even proud. Though I am hoping they shrink as I lose some weight. Hopefully not sag though! But there's always a good bra to prop 'em up regardless.
As for this article, I found it weirdly coy. If you're going to talk big breasts, why hide the number? Just give it to us straight if you're going to make them the center of your essay. If you are doing it under the guise of not wanting to make yourself a mere number, then why write about your breasts as if they were your calling card?

In my previous letter, I just wanted to show you the really unusual sizes you could get, but I don't want to short anyone out there looking.
They also offer standard delivery for 4 pounds to 70 countries worldwide, if ordered from their UK sister site: www.figleaves.com/uk/
Happy shopping!

Pretend you hear the chime of a temple bell...
[Read the article: What would we see if we were behind your eyeballs, Cary?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...and relax, all you angry people.
The man describes some bagels and dog noises, and somehow there is a brawl going on in the letters section.
This seems strange.
Instead of being so upset that for this day's column, Cary answered a question about himself, why not say why you think the description of the author's everyday views has no place in an advice column?
I mean, don't we get how to give advice through living our life experiences? Even including noticing how the dog breaths or laughing at the the comedy of the Marx Brothers?
Can't we find charm in sharing our surroundings, or at least get to know someone better through that?
Personally, I liked this column because it made Cary more human and less of a mechanical talking sketch.
I read this column because I feel closer to my fellow people through it, learning more about the dramatic, the dreams, and the mundane concerns that are behind others' eyes.
Noticing and writing about tiny details that are within one's immediate sight is good practice to see the world, and people. After all, our senses are our gateway to our reality and understanding others' reality.
So I say, revel in those poppy seeds!
