useless information


I can wear a corset.
I can swoosh in petticoats.
I can strut in a suit.

So why the hell am I incapable of keeping my damn bra straps in place?

I feel like I need to take Remedial Undergarments 101.


In other news, Mudpuppy my frankenbeanie now sits atop my work computer, ruling all he surveys.

Heh!

I'd like to see what else would be taught in Remedial Undergarments 101. I'd much rather be taking that final in 3 hours than Russian 101.

This made me nearly cry with laughter. Oh yes, yes it did.

Body Glue. (http://www.nylon-dreams.co.uk/sock_glue_body_adhesive.htm)

Or those handy little ribbon snap strap holder thingies sewn inside tops.

If it's any consolation, I have the same handicap.

Bras are meant to annoy us. ;)

That said, properly fitting bras don't slip and slide so much, but good luck finding a bra that fits properly in *this* country.
