Tammi's World

Every Woman Has One

....a bra story that is. Hey - what did you think I meant??

Anyway - Bou has been on a search to discover what her actual bra size is. I wish ya luck darlin'. My experience is every style is different. But that's a story for another day.

I was reading through her post telling us about her and VW's shopping experience and it brought to mind a little story from my past.

Back when I first moved to Florida I lost a boat load of weight. I was down to about 130 pounds - and at 6'2" that's a tad bit on the skinny side. And I mean there wasn't an ounce of fat ANYWHERE on my body. I've never been one to worry about my lack of "attributes" but I noticed that none of my dresses were "laying" right. Hmmm....not good. I spent too damned much money on those beauties to not be a show stopper. I figured I better do something about it.

So I took my niece Carmen with me to Victoria Secret. I thought I'd get their version of the Wonderbra - for those special occasions where breasts were needed.

Now - Carmen isn't exactly what I'd call shy. No - not at all. But she was a teenager. You know how teenagers are...easily embarrassed. Enter Aunt Tammi.

hehehehe

As we walked into the mall I explained to her what I was trying to find. However, I couldn't remember the name of the damned bra.

We get to VS and make our way to the Wall-O-Bras. A nice sales clerk comes up and askes if she could help.

Tammi: Sure. I'm looking for...umm, what's it called? Oh yea - I need one of those Instant Boob Bras.

Silence.

As I turn to Carmen I realize I can't. I can't turn to her because she is gone. Vanished. Left me.

Huh.

After making my purchase I found her outside the store and we made our way back to her Mom's house. Her only comment?

I'm never going shoppping with you again.

hehehehehe

Mission accomplished.
