boobs
Maybe all these people love boobs as much as I do. Here are a couple from the notebook, scrawled at some moment or another.
Round Your Finger
I never asked you if you loved me,
I didn't think it mattered much.
What we said was not important
if I melted at your touch.
And you always knew I'd call you
a few times every week,
you knew I could not walk away,
you knew that I was weak.
You had me 'round your finger,
you wore me like a ring.
There's no excuse for your abuse,
the frustration that you bring.
Pure Trouble
Here comes trouble
with bright red lips
stickin' her chest out
and shakin' her hips.
Yeah, she's gorgeous
but what's it do ya?
when her deep blue eyes
cut right through ya.
She doesn't need
the meager thrill
of going in
for the kill
on any schmuck
who's in her path.
She's pretty, yeah,
but do the math.
She knows she's hot
and I'll agree,
her look does certain
things to me,
but when I see through
her shallow game:
That girl is trouble
and that's a shame.
Generally speaking, they stay in the notebook for a reason, but it's a bit deeper than "I love boobs."
(Still do, though.)

I love to feel the baby kick, knowing that it's growing inside me, and of course, who can deny the
FABULOUS BOOBS
:D
My first bra was in the seventh grade when my mom took me to the Eden Shop- where older ladies - maybe younger then than I am now, poked and prodded and measured and said things like "she sure is blossoming." All totally humiliating for a 12 year old girl. But since then i have become friends with my breasts and the harnesses in which i encase them when i leave the home. In fact I love my boobs. they are symmetrical and soft pale lovely mounds of fat and glandular tissue. perky due to a breast reduction a few years ago and all around quite wonderful to have.
I have always favored underwire bras because I am c/d cup - depending on the maker and here is my current inventory -------------
Seamless Bras:
Cotton: 3 white, 3 pink, 1 Blue, 1 blue patterned, 2 fuschis, 2 grey- if you have ever lived through a southern summer you will understand the desire for cotton bras. Non Cotton: 1 black, 1 white, 1 cream
Lacy Bras:
4 black- lavish with lace, 3 cream, 1 peach, 3 darker beige, 3 red- one has flamed scallops, 1 tan and green ( like a jungle), 1 lavendar, 1 light blue, one blue and black, 1 brown, 1 bright yellow. Sveral of the lacy ones come with matching panties or thongs
Sport bras:
two - I never wear them
IN French I favor Lise Charmel or La Perla, Domestic I like Wacoal. WEaring a great bra that matches or contrasts my outerwear makes me feel great. So where did the need to wear these come from? the hisitory reveals the following:
1914-1918 World War I forces women into the work-force. Many women begin working in factories and wearing uniforms, making the use of daily corset wear a problem.
1917 The U.S. War Industries Board requests women to stop buying corsets to reduce the consumption of metal. Sources say up to 28,000 tons of metal was conserved through this effort - "enough to build two battleships."
1920s The bra gained popularity and began to be used more commonly during the 1920s. This was the era of the "flappers", and the flat-chested boyish look was all the rage. Warner introduces a tight, chest-flattening bra, that was designed to flatten the breasts, rather than support them.
1928 Ida Rosenthal, a Russian immigrant, and her husband William went into business as the Maidenform Company in the 1920's as a protest against the notorious flat-chested flapper girls of the Roaring 20's. Ida is responsible for the creation of bust size categories (cup sizes) and developed bras for every stage of life - puberty to maturity.
Late 1920s By the end of the 1920s corsetry companies began to manufacture brassieres that were boned and stitched into different cup sizes.
1930s It wasn't until the 1930s that shape started to become acceptable again, and the "bra" (a shortened form of the word "brassiere") changed from flattening the breasts, to holding them.
1930s Warner produces the first popular all-elastic bra, which shows off a woman's curves.
1930s It was 1932 before its shape was modified to accentuate the depth of cup. It was greatly improved by the fashion designer, Paul Poiret who even suggested that it be worn next to the skin.
1930s The "sweater-girl" look, portrayed by actress Lana Turner during the 1930s, was the next fashion development, pointed rigid bras that maintained their shape. This was followed by "falsies". These were pads worn inside the bra that were designed to enhance the fullness of the bust. These evolved into the push-up bra, stiffened cups supported by under-wiring.
1935 Warner's creates the cup sizing system (A to D), which becomes the system commonly used by all manufacturers throughout the world.
1941-1945 Common fabric materials (cotton, rubber, silk and steel) are in short supply, so manufacturers turn to synthetic fabrics.
1946 The first bikini swimwear is introduced in Paris.
1950's It was thus that during the 1950s the shape had become most exaggerated. Strapless bras also became popular at this time because of the fashion for off-the-shoulder outfits.
1960's The 1960s saw the women's liberation movement denouncing bras as a symbol of conformity and servitude and encouraging bra burning rallies. The Hippie and free-love movement would see the bra abandoned altogether, resulting in the braless look.
1960's A return to the need for support saw the bra re-emerge after this era. Developments in manufacturing and technology since the 1960s, such as lycra, have seen the materials for bras become increasingly lightweight, durable and elastic.
It's 2008 and though I rarely make resolutions because I'm bound to break them by mid February or early March, I find that this resolution is too important to not make.
For Christmas, my mother gave me a $100 dollar gift certificate to JC Penney's. I decided yesterday would be good as a day as any to go shopping with it. All of those good Post-Christmas sales were too tempting to pass up. As I dutifully walked past all of the cute clothes in sizes that were not "plus" or "women's" size, I started feeling bad about being a fatty with a rubenesque figure. I started hating the fact that in most stores the fat girl clothes are located in the back, as if they are saying,"You want clothes? Walk your fat ass back there and get them! You could use the exercise." I also noticed that the petite clothing for women under 5'4" were all the way upstairs. I guess if you're too short, then you are banished to the upper tier of the store.
Strengthening my resolve I walked to the section where the "plus-sized" clothes were located, and tried to ignore that negative voice in my head. I had $100 dollars to spend and I wasn't going to let anything put a damper on that. I tried on a few shirts and lamented the fact that I had fat rolls and that my breast had appeared like they'd dropped at least another two inches. Those dressing room mirrors are terribly unforgiving! Feeling even more dejected I managed to find three shirts that looked less hideous.
After my purchases were rung up, I left the store a little bit happier because I still had $37.00 left on my gift certificate. I saw a sushi restaurant and decided to stop for lunch. After all, a little sushi always makes me feel better. I think it's because it is such a colorful food.
There weren't many people in the restaurant and the atmosphere was very calming. I stared at the beautiful salt-water fish in the fish tank and giggled at the irony of a fish tank being in the front of a sushi bar. Soft jazz music played in the background and a spirit of contentment came over me. I came to a very important epiphany then: my New Year's resolution will be to love my body no matter how it looks. After all, it is much easier to take care of something that you love isn't it?
I'm so tired of how we women hate ourselves because our bodies aren't what we believe is perfect. No matter what other blessings we have in our lives, we are more apt to spend more time hating our bodies than appreciating all of the things our bodies have done for us. We focus on it's outter appearance, yet we never thank our bodies for the fact that our hearts are still beating and we are still taking breaths. I have asthma, yet I should thank my lungs everyday for doing the best they can to provide the necessary oxygen I need to function. I should look at my hips and ass and see that their shape came from my grandmother and her grandmother. They are a part of my heredity and they identify me as belonging to my family.
My stomach may have many rolls, but it is my stomach. The stretch marks came from me carrying a precious child who has given me joy. These arms that I've cruely refered to as "wings" are the arms my child nestles in for comfort. She doesn't look at them with disgust, so why should I? These thighs though marred with cellulite help me walk, dance and skip. Why should I hate them?
Ladies, why is it that a quick glance at ourselves at a bad angle in a reflective surface is enough to send us into a depression for an entire day or even a week or more? Why are we so hard on ourselves, yet we don't mind physical imperfections in our men? Often, we even come to love our significant other's Buddha bellies and love handles. We need to learn how to love ourselves and our bodies. We can not get physically healthy if we are mentally unhealthy. When we learn to love our bodies, then we will want to take care of them. We will also be less likely to hold ourselves up to unrealistic expectations of our bodies.
Tonight, I pledge to love my body. I will love it's imperfections and I will appreciate the things that it helps me do everyday.
