Victoria's Secret is a good place to shop if you fit the average
breast size mold. Granted, the majority of women in the world are a
b cup, and there are even special bra
salons for those women whose
breasts are so bounteous that they require the 12 hook
special, but there is no place to go for the
less endowed woman. At 5'5", 125 lbs, I am a fairly fit girl. I have 38" hips, and booty - however
genetics has seen fit to grant me with perky little
double A's.
I have always been somewhat
wary of the place, too much foofiness and pink, not enough
basic reality. But some people get to a point where they say, "Hey. I'm pretty okay with my body, it's fit, and
I want to see what it looks like dressed up like Naomi Campbell's." I did... so I go into Victoria's Secret. I find a really cute
contraption that reminds me of
Easter and
Marilyn Monroe at the same time. I take the bustier/corset/bedroom floor decoration to one of the
sharp little women in a black blazer and a pink measuring tape around her neck.
"Do you make this in a 34 A, or anything smaller as far as cup size?"
strange look from saleswoman
"We don't make that in YOUR size. We don't make ANYTHING below an A."
She whisked away my Easter Seven Year Itch, and I turned good and
red. Who are these people who decide what
bra size is acceptable?
