Random Scribblings in the Margin

"T-shirt bras"

I thought the purpose was to have a bra you could wear under a clingy t-shirt and not have seams or lumps. Apparently not. As far as I can tell, the purpose is to have a bra you can wear under a very baggy t-shirt, and still have your breasts look cartoonishly large and pointy.

And what the hell is with all this padding? I'm a D-cup! They don't need to be any bigger! They don't need pushing up and out of the damn cups! They just need to stay in one place while I run for the bus.

Also, when I buy underwear, I find myself pitching my voice higher and softer to save us all the confusion and embarrassment.

Teenage schoolgirl: Do you work here?
Me: Yep.
Schoolgirl: How old are you?
Me: 27.
Schoolgirl: ...Are you a boy or a girl?
Me: I'm a girl.
Schoolgirl: Oh! *Covers face with hands, flees*
Me: Well, that was subtle.
