How do you put your bra on?
I was chatting it up with my newly, partially incapacitated best friend the other day about how she's going to put her bra on with a broken arm. She said she just hooks it on the side and pulls it around.
I asked why she didn't just hook it in front and pull it around, and she said the thought had never occured to her. This struck me as odd, as it's my usual way of applying the titsling.
I wonder how much women are missing out on by not being more open about their dressing habits. For instance, do you think if I spoke to more women, one of them would be able to tell me how to protect my stockings against my seemingly mutant toe?
I bet, if women just talked more about things they assumed other women already knew, we'd all be a lot smarter.
I'll start:

Ok, so I have no useful tips - I'm a clueless gal, so I'll leave you with this: You're probably wearing the wrong sized bra. Get a professional fitting, you'll be very surprised at the result.

i dunno, but the one (and only) time i put on a bra (for my Sister Mary Margaret of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence), I just had a friend do the fastening.
Oh, and I was a 36 C at the time. Fit nicely, and looked damn good in my habit while I was dancing.. boingy boingy boingy.. ;-)

I have no useful girlie tidbits to share. If I did, you'd know them by now. Unless the following counts: The fact that Scott and I wear the same size bra disturbs me. And excites me.
Is that wrong?

I doubt I have much to add here, though I am intrigued by the mutant toe.
I will say that even though I've heard people say it is possible to use baby powder to de-grease one's hair, it never worked for me. It just made me smell like a nursery and look like someone dropped a powdered doughnut on my head.

i thought of some stuff. but I'll tell you when we're getting dressed for the wedding. most of it involves girdles and shit that i don't want to be posting here anyway. Otherwise, proactiv facial mask. Rocks.

ok. how do i put on my bra... i read this question, just that first sentence, and i had no fucking idea. so had to wait to be at home and actually try it out. apparently, i simultaneiously throw my arms through the straps, then pull it down scooping the breasts in, then pull the straps back, invariably snapping my shoulders at the same time and hook, then bend at the waist and shake, shimmy, pull, yank and otherwise adjust said breasts into comfortable place, and then give a final tub UP on the straps before moving on to throwing a shirt over my head. i am UTTERLY facinated by the concept of hooking a back hooking bra in teh front or on teh side. how the hell do you then get your arms in? i must try this. i know, its probably very different for me being a big woman with rolls to deal with and all, but still. utterly facinated.
ironically, the few times my hubby tried the bra thing, he was also a 36C. I however, am not. On really good days i'm a 42D. Which is a VERY nice change from 46DD, let me tell you. (Strength training. Lots of upper body strength training. The breasts were the first to go...)
girly tips? heh. um. no clue on the stockings thing, don't wear them. don't pump your mascara a thousand times, that's what causes the clumps. um... keep film in the fridge? no wait, girly... um... biolage smoothing serum in VERY SMALL DOSES is good for those of us with the straight hair fly aways. um... wings were the greatest thing invented, EVER. why the hell can't i find the "always" with the little wipes attached? i see them on tv but not in stores! awesome concept! um... girly... well, here's a question! what do you all do for PMS? the menstral thing i've down - midol. holy shit that stuff rocks. hubby even discovered there is daytime and nighttime midol. hubby rocks. but... PMS? new teritorry for me. i'm used to the water retention followed by nights of peeing gallons, the sore nipples... but the MOOD SWINGS! WOAH nelly! gotta big a drug to stop this. help?
