Ya know wot's funny? The fact that people, me included, have all of a sudden felt the need to show everybody their underwear (AKA their friends list.)

I wonder if that in itself speaks to our insecurities. "Look - I trust you ALL you're ALL my friends... SEE?? SEE?? Doesn't that make me friendly?!?!"

That's my thought for the morning.

I've never hidden any of it--but I thought that people might want to be REMINDED of that when the mass hysteria broke out! ;)

You be sweet today, Sugar.

See ya later.

Well, as I have just bought a tonne of very fun underwear, I don't mind showing it at all! :P

You have a great day yourownself.

Don't rush in to that empty desk, sit back and have another cuppa first.

LOL And a good thought it is too. ;)

Underwear hell, I post nude pictures on MY friends list!

... oh wait, you were speaking metaphorically, nevermind! *evil grin*

And what a cool freekin' picture it is.

I wish I had the nerve to do something like that. Was it professionally done?

[kyra-ojosverdes.livejournal.com]

I'm not moving from this monitor until I see your new underwear.

I MEAN IT! ;-)

Um... well, as I'm at work and don't have access to either a camera or most of my underwear all I can offer is a description of the ones I have on now.

[kyra-ojosverdes.livejournal.com]

Yes? YES?? ;-)

You can see the full-sized version, and some others, by looking in the "Photos" section of my memories.

I had it sort of professionally done. An ex-boyfriend (John, he who loves telling me I need to lose weight and wear makeup and heels every day) is/was a professional photographer, specializing in 'boudoir' photography. I'm really happy with the pics. The "highly amused" expression on my face is the result of John's continual "you need to lose weight" comments meeting my (stronger) "I love how my body looks" attitude. Idiot. ;-)

I think every woman should have some nude and semi-nude photos taken by a professional. It's *great* for my body image. When we look in the mirror, we seem to only see the problem spots. Looking at a photo (and, to be honest, having someone ELSE gasp and drool over my photo) helps me see and appreciate what's really there!

Very Cool. I like the leg one particularly.

(now *those* should give the IT guys here a serious good reason to can my ass!)

Oh, well, um... utilitarian white bra - I'm a 38A. Damn the bra companies for assuming if you're big enough to be a 38, you must have C cups. I can't find ANYTHING fun in my size for a bra. *ptu put* I spit on Wonder Bra and the rest of the regime.

My underwear, however, is this great little hot pink number with tiny ruffles around the legs and waste band with the word "love" stiched in sequins in the front.

SISTER!!!!!!!!

I'm approaching 38AA myself, but with the layoff I'll probably gain enough fat to make 38A fit again.

I really like those underwire bras with the see-through stretchy mesh cups. They're not terribly durable, but the mesh is stretchy enough that I can buy a size that fits *around* my breasts (maybe you don't share this issue, but my breasts are a size B or C width, and A or AA fullness, so an A cup is really uncomfortable because it doesn't cover the whole breast, but a B or C cup has all this maddening empty space), and the mesh "unstretches" or something and... well, I think you've figured out what I'm trying to say here. They fit. They look good. I likes them.

Oops. You already mentioned the "at work" thing! Sorry!

[anigo.livejournal.com]

yes, yes - I've got one of those on now! Sadly, they don't come in anything other than white or granny off-white. What I'd do to find a decent stretchy cup bra in a pink or turquoise or (god forbid) a floral patern - one with enough resiliency to handle the laundry every once in a while.

Anything lacy, or - god forbid - a foam-ish cup and you're just talking dead air in there.

[kyra-ojosverdes.livejournal.com]

I'm starting to see them in colors here... and often (oh happy day) on the clearance rack, because evidently those with more standard *ahem* racks themselves don't need such flimsy little bras.

I wonder if t-shirt material would be stretchy enough? I'd be really tempted to try making my own, but I think that sewing around an underwire would be just a bit beyond my capacity.

[anigo.livejournal.com]

Do tell... :)

[busmann.livejournal.com]

well, a few with spongebob, some with smilies, and one with rubber ducks. My drawers are just entertaining........The plain stuff just don't do it for me.
