I'm sorry to report that Brastop.com, which used to maintain two stores in central London (one in the Baker Street Tube station, and one in Victoria Station), has closed both and gone online-only in a little-publicized move. ( Read more... )

Bravissimo is having their end-of-the-summer swimsuit sale. They claim it's only online, so I guess you can't get these deals in their stores... Click the image below to go to it:




Is it just me, or is the shape of that pool float rather suggestive? Reminds me of a Georgia O'Keefe painting, if you take my meaning ;)

Panache Lingerie has just added a new line to their collection: Cleo. Unfortunately, the Cleo line, (like Panache's other sub-lines Frilly Intimates and Masquerade Lingerie), is not described anywhere on the main Panache site. Cleo Bras appear to go from size 28D up to size 38H, and are described by several of their resellers as being more "fashion forward" and "youthful" than other Panache Lines.

Way back during the winter I ordered some "professional" clothing from Bravissimo--suit jackets and matching pants and skirts. While Bravissimo gives a (fairly accurate) measurement chart for their fitted tops and jackets (I wear a 12RC in their tops), they don't say anything about the sizing on their pants and skirts.

Normally, in order to get your UK size, you would add 4 to your American size. So if you wore size 12 pants in the US, your British size would be roughly size 16. I tried asking Bravissimo in advance of ordering about their sizing for pants and skirts, but got nowhere.

What do you call your boobs? This London Times article ponders the age-old question:

Why I called my boobs Simon & Garfunkel

Personally, I call mine Kirk and Spock: so close, yet always separate. Plus, they tend to create a lot of spatial distortions.

Nah, I'm just kidding. But maybe I will start callin' em that. Spock will be the left one, cause the right one's got a bit more junk in the trunk. And in situations where I don't want to look *too* dorky, I can go incognito by just calling them "Captain" and "First Officer."



Next post: The much-awaited Bravissimo clothing sizing post, plus some other stuff!

Hey folks, long time no see. While I don't have time for a full post right now I just wanted to let you know that it's getting to be last call for my bra sales posted here:

and here:

Several have been sold, but I am willing to accept offers on most of what's left (with the exception of a few of the Panache bras that would sell for more on ebay). If you have a yen to try any of the Gossard bras, or the Lepel Swimsuit, I'm especially willing to deal on these, so make me an offer!

I'm still in the process of figuring out the answer to my clothes fitting question, so I'll update soon with the info I've found out.

Til then, stay booby ;)
