i am going to be a bit more blunt and open/ forthcoming in this post, just because... if you can't do it on the internet, then where, eh?

so here's the thing. i have big boobs. there's no getting around it (literally). they get in the way all the time really are a common nuisance.

on wednesday my underwire decided it wanted to impale me, and it is truly the most uncomfortable thing ever, is to be stabbed in the torso by a broken underwire. so i go to target today to get a new bra. yes, i buy them from target because i am cheap and really don't have all that much money to spend. so what happens? i find ONE in my size. ONE! out of the whole lingerie section of target, there is only one bra in my size? it's really annoying in general that there is only a bitty section of 'full size' bras in the first place. holy god, i mean, i know that not everyone has a giant chest, but when most racks only go to a C cup, D if i'm lucky, i feel dumb. especially since i have to literally dig through the 'full size' rack to hopefully come across one in my size. not that i have to look much, as it's only like 8 little racks to go through. it's kind of depressing.

maybe it's because i don't want to spend all that much money on finding a bra. but i can't even go to victoria's secret, as they don't go to my size. bra shopping sucks in general. i've never known anyone who actually enjoys going bra shopping. it's tedious and mostly boring. you have to try on a lot of them just to find one that fits right. and believe me, most of them do NOT fit right. so, when they make it worse, and marginalize those of us that have bigger chests, it makes my shopping even worse.

also... every 'full size' bra is god awful ugly. stupid bows or ugly lace or just downright butt uglyness. when there are racks and racks of cute prints and girly colors in smaller sizes, i don't want to end up with lacy flowers all over my boobs, okay? because they aren't even hot lacy flowers, they are ugly lacy flowers and it's really not fair.

the other thing... if i already have DD boobs, (if not bigger... because really, thats as high as they go at target), do you REALLY think i need PADDING?! to make them even BIGGER? Support is nice, really, but adding an extra quarter of an inch to my already in the way chest isn't what i have in mind. not to mention that i just want a plain black bra to wear. because i do in fact wear tank tops sometimes, and i wouldn't mind people seeing a black strap. but tan or baby blue, not so much.

so that's my rant. i just want to find a reasonably priced, nice fitting bra for my big boobs. and i don't want it to be but ugly, adorned by lace, or have any bows. is that so hard to ask? really?
