TMI time With Melle: I'm cramping and I want to go hoooooome. *sulks*

Okay, people, somebody pimp some fic at me? I want to print out some stories to read while I go and lie on the grass during my breaks, as long as the weather stays this way. It's too hot to actually walk around, and I've made it a mission to get something resembling a tan by the time I go home in August, so my mother will refrain from mentioning how pale I look and I should get out more, blah blah blah motheringcakes. Anyway. Recs? Anyone?

Also, a (not quite) pointless poll. I have a white t-shirt. I do not have a white bra. I also skipped school on the day they taught Basic Girly Crap, apparently. Help?

HA! Well, at least I'm not the only one. :D

[perhael.livejournal.com]

Nonononono! Huge fashion faux-pas! In fact, don't wear any bra that is visible through your t-shirt, even if it's white. Just wear an undershirt or something.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

But ... it's only vaguely visible, and even with the undershirt, my tat'd show through ...

[lightandashes.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind your bra being visible through your shirt, or if your shirt is thick enough to hide your bra, what the hell. Go for it.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Well, it's definitely thin enough that you can see my bra, and even my tatt, and I personally don't care, but still.

Maybe I should go braless?

[rane-ab.livejournal.com]

Depends on how much you care? *g* I do believe a black bra under a white shirt is not exactly the done thing (usually skin-coloured is the best, because somehow, even white bra's (is it bra's or bras? Hm.) show through), but hey, consider it asserting your personality. ;-) (And if you don't have a white bra, don't you have a shirt that's not white? Also, how on earth did you get a hold of so many black bra's? Mine are mostly white, because they're the most regular...)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Um. I only have a single bra. And I hate wearing anything but black underwear.

[rane-ab.livejournal.com]

And I hate wearing anything but black underwear.

Why's that?

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Just preference, really. Also, black doesn't turn all icky yellow from deodorant the way white does. :)

[troubleinchina.livejournal.com]

Should we take you bra shopping? That could be fun!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

... On the one hand, I hate shopping, and I dislike bras.

On the other hand, the concept of bra shopping with this mysterious "we" is ... appealing.

[troubleinchina.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.... well then. I will recruit my mysterious "we" to be more interesting than the Royal We that I may have been thinking of. That was *hours* ago, and I have no short term memory after work.

Also, TICKY! BOXY!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

See, normall I'd have assumed "we" = you and Don, but Don doesn't strike me as the type to enjoy long shopping trips. <g>

[troubleinchina.livejournal.com]

He can always shake his new cane at people and make them move faster.
Plus, be brings the credit card with the REALLY big credit limit. *cough*

Don't just go shopping for a bra. Go get actually fitted. Trust me when I say you'll like bras a lot more if you have one that actually fits. And you really shouldn't have just one bra, unless you're actually washing it every night. Bras stretch as you wear them, and washing (in cold water is best, and you're not supposed to put them in the dryer, although I do) tightens up the elastic again.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Oh, trust me, next time I go bra shopping, there will be fittage. This one was bought for me by my mum, who, much as I love her, is an A-cup at best and therefore doesn't quite grasp that my C-cup and I have need of things like wider shoulder straps. Which is one of the reasons why I didn't wear a bra for like a year, and that is the reason I only have the one bra, sigh.

I do plan on going to get fitted, finding a bra I like, and then buying several, possibly including one in a slightly larger size for That Time Of The Month.

[rsadelle]

I find that I don't need a whole different bra when I'm retaining water. I just loosen the straps a bit, and that works fine.

[troubleinchina.livejournal.com]

I totally have a good fic for you, and will find it when I get home, but you might be able to track it down by searching for "Nightbloom Hearts Ease". I know that SS/NL is weird, and I wasn't sure on it either, but it was recced. And it's a prequel to Transfigurations. Trust me, read it.

Also, who the heck cares what you're wearing, as long as it doesn't violate the dress code at work and you aren't bothered.

My birthday is in two sleeps! WHEE!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, I've read that one, actually, after you recced it to me! It's quite nice, yes. :)

Also? You are FIVE! :p

[padredon.livejournal.com]

As she often insists its 4. I don't claim to understand.

[troubleinchina.livejournal.com]

I am totally four, except when I am not. (I am Anna, I contain multitudes.)

Oh, wait, you meant in age.

Um... FOUR! YAY!

Also, YAY!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

There is no Anna, there is only Zuul?

[elfiepike.livejournal.com]

it depends more on what you're going to be doing while wearing said black bra and white t-shirt, right? like, i wouldn't wear a black bra and white shirt... if i were working! XD

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, for work--otherwise I'd not care at all. <g> Eh, they shouldn't be looking at that part of my body anyway at work, so you know. :D

[starbrow.livejournal.com]

White tops should be worn with flesh-coloured bras! *says the ex-lingerie salesgirl*

But, if you want to wear a black bra with a white t-shirt, go ahead. Not that big of a deal, really.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I decided to just wear it, in the end. I was just afraid this was one of those Girl Code things I never managed to pick up on, heh.

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

I am a guy and therefore support black bras under white shirts.

No, actually, even if I was a woman, I'd still support black bras under white shirts. You forgot to have a "YES!" option there.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

That's because I know you lot. If "Yes!" had been an option, that's all anyone would've voted for. :p

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

Embrace the truth, my childe.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Buncha perverts, all of ya. :D

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

That's why all the embracing.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see, you're using "embracing" in the less-erused definition of "groping". ;D

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

Why, d'ya think it's because we like you? ;)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I think it's because you like my boobies, is what I think. :D

*gathers friendslist to bosom*

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

Oooh.... bosom.

*uses boobies icon*

[jamaisneutral.livejournal.com]

flesh coloured? Help! In my honest opinion there are few things in this life more disgusting than flesh coloured underwear. We all wear it, everyone knows we're wearing a bra -and if we're not, we'd damned obvious and grrrrroar _ahem_- but no, I'd not wear a black bra under a white shirt. White bra. Any other colour - any other colour bra.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I don't have any other colour bra, is the problem. But yeah, flesh coloured bra, ick. I decided I don't care and wore the shirt anyway, ha!

[dantesvendetta.livejournal.com]

You happen to be pretty.

I think, therefore, that you can get away with black bra under white shirt.

I tend to do this sometimes. But then I just don't care :D

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Well, neither do I, but I don't want to make a hidious faux-pas at work or something. :D
