Dead Bra Day: Tuesday Feb. 13

I really enjoyed this article in the Vancouver Courier because it had several angles. By the way, I read the print edition that comes to our house and then find the article online if I want to share it.

Busting out by Cheryl Rossi (staff writer)


Some snipets:

"We've all got bras we hate, and let's face it, we've all got a favourite bra that's usually pretty butt ugly but we love to wear it because it's our most comfortable," Squires says on the phone from Seattle. "I thought this way we get to celebrate that or we get to take out our aggressions on a bra that's made us miserable."

"Because women sometimes receive lingerie from their lovers on Valentine's Day, Richards figured Feb. 13 would be the perfect time to clear out the old."

"Thomson recommends women get fitted for a bra at least once a year because hormones, pregnancy, breastfeeding, sickness, medications and lifestyle cause sizes to fluctuate."

"Thomson says every woman should own four bras: a black bra for dark clothes, a cream or white bra for light clothes, a sexy bra and a sports bra. Women who jump up and down need a sports bra that extends to their upper sternum, otherwise stretch marks can form, she says. Properly cared for, they should last a year."

Hmm. I guess it's time to ceremoniously retire the bras I have had for like eight years. And don't go ewww. It's not like they are ghastly or anything. They are well-loved! Oh... I tend to keep my panties for too long too. Brett made me throw out some that had little tiny micro-holes in them or had the elastic stretched (but not to the level of droopy butt).

But I need my back-up panties, dagnammit!!

Some gals might know exactly what I am talking about. And their partners probably are not even aware of the existence of their back-up panties because we hide them from you!! We weae them when our loved one is out of town or not likely to be in the mood to see our undies. The back-up panties are the ones with those mystery stains (seriously, I don't make any secretions in that colour so how the hell did they get on my panties!!) or major droopy butt.


Heh. I just like saying that. "Droopy butt."
