Oh, and speaking of breasts...

Bra sizes seem to be all over the place lately - Oprah did something about them recently, and then the news said that most women wear the wrong size, and then frino mentioned that she'd been wearing the wrong size! So, I got curious. Just now, I took my trusty little tape measure out of my sewing kit, and here's what I did:

1) I measured around my trunk just below my breasts. I got 30.5 inches.
2) I added 3 inches to that measurement (33.5) and rounded up to the next even number (34). This is the bra size.
3) I took another measurement around the fullest area of my bust. This was about 36 inches.
4) Now, I subtract the bra size from the breast size, and get the number 2.(Anything between 1 and 2.5 inches for this number is a B cup size.)

And ya know WHAT? I wear 34B anyway! So that means I am one of the lucky few who actually was wearing the correct bra size all along! It's been estimated that up to 70% of women wear the wrong size, so I feel pretty good about this. Now the truly ironic thing is that I HATE HATE HATE wearing bras. I HATE 'em, got that? Frankly, I don't even like wearing shirts that much either. It's not a sex thing or a show-off thing, I just prefer to let The Girls BREATHE!

If wearing mens clothes involved having to do math, most of us would just go naked.
