I slept funny and now I can't raise my left arm very much. Which is sad. And v. painful if I forget and decide to try.

I found the perfect bra at Value City today. Except it was two sizes too small. We actually were there on a trip to buy my sister sneakers, and she couldn't find anything decent either, so we then went to Target. Where I found another great bra. That was (supposedly) in my size. But then I tried it on. And it wasn't. And naturally, they didn't make them in the next size bigger that I would thus need to move up to.

I hate dumb bra shopping. They've never got any that fit me. (Or if they do, they're $20-25, which I'm not spending on undergarments.) I thought about looking online because there'd be a bigger selection, but there's such variance in sizes (you'd think there shouldn't be, but it's nuts) that I'd end up wasting my money on something that'd never fit.

NEW LAYOUT!

Yup! I was fiddling around with this new Photoshop-esque thing (that I don't quite know how to work yet), and I made the little banner thing (fueled by a plot bunny for a fic about those two and Anna Nalick's album on repeat), and so then I decided that I wanted to use it, so I changed. The old one had been on there for nearly 2 years, methinks.

Though the picture sort of makes me angry, because that's a cropped DVD capture that I shrank to like 80% to try and get rid of the funny bits, and it's still sort of crappy quality looking. That's how the DVDs look, which is sad, because you can't really tell when you're watching, but capping it isn't easy.

the main goal was to buy a strapless bra for the ball

That's what I was trying to find too. Not for any particular cool event like that, but just because both of the ones that I have that I wear have the hugeo straps that come with having to harness in a D chest, and it'd be nice to have something for tanktops or whatever. (Because the kinds with built-in bras lie. They're not really bras, just another layer of fabric most times. Trufax.) And then I found the perfect one at the first store I went to, but they only had it in A and B. Hee, I should have gotten one for you!

AND THEN THE GIRL MADE ME TRY THEM ON.

LOLZ. She just wanted to see you without a shirt on. I always try them on anyway, because I tend to shop at the clearance stores (like Value City, the first one) and then the sizes lie half the time. It's a good thing too, because I was about to buy bra #2 because it said it was in my size, but was too small. Which scared me a little, because that means for that bra I'd need a DD.)

So I went and tried them on and she asked how I was doing and opened the curtain and had a good little fiddle with the straps etc.

Toldya. She just wanted to feel you up.

It's happened before, but that time it was a women wearing PJs and devil's horns, which somehow made it feel better.

Yeah. I've only had that happen once, when I went into some store at the mall (Fredrick's of Hollywood, I think, which is full of sexy undies and I wanted to buy them all) and tried on a corset just because I wanted to. The lady came in to lace up the back for me. This was like 5 years ago, though, and I don't remember thinking she was particularly hot.

I was thinking about going to Victoria's Secret sometime this week, though, because they're supposed to have some kind of sale going on, and they do the whole measuring you, try it one thing, which would help me get one that actually fits. And have practically pornographic pictures of women wearing their underwear on the walls. They're kinda objectionable, though, because it's obviously not supposed to be just modeling the underwear by the poses they're in, it's like something out of Maxim, which just makes it pointless objectification of the female body. Which is what the moral half of me is saying, while the hornyteenage half is just drooling.

Then I had a giggle to myself on the way out after wondering whether bra shops accept job applications from 16 year olds.

Hellyes. My parents have been nagging at me to get a job all summer, but everything I want to do, you've got to be older. I'll have to look in to that.

There's hardly any of that around, and if there is it's either a small selection in a little store, or a really ugly selection in the back of the Target women's section.

Yup. There are whole stores for it around (which I only know because there's one relatively close to my house, but I've never been there), but in normal stores it tends to be crappy. It's hard to find larger non-plus size clothing that doesn't make you look like a hussy too. Mum brought home a bunch of tanktops a while back that were on sale in Target or Walmart or something in M, L, and XL so I could try them on and see which would fit. Well, the medium's body fit, but my chest was hanging out of even the XL. Which was not fun.
