The Holy Grail, boob- filled

Apr 22, 2009 15:03

In the girlie-girl retail world, there are a few items that we hold in the highest esteem (maybe "worship" is more accurate). We shout it from the mountain-tops if we ever manage to find them and search for years if we can't. Some examples:

The perfect lipstick/gloss shade
Perfume that smells like it was made for you
Shoes that are hot AND comfortable
A gorgeous dress that you can throw in a suitcase and make work no matter the occasion
A drool-worthy bag that holds everything and doesn't fall apart
Skincare/haircare regimes that are practical time/money wise and WORK
A flattering bathing suit
An ultra stylish winter coat that actually keeps out the cold
I know I'm forgetting a million of these

I found one. One of those things for which I search and search. I found an awesome bra.

The funny thing is that I'd already found it a couple of years ago. Bras are definitely on my Holy Grail list because we have to wear them every damn day, and they affect how we look, how our clothes look, and how we feel. I was always looking for one that
1. Was comfortable
2. I could wear with a white t shirt and not reveal top boob, side boob, nipple condition, back fat, or bra topography
3. That looked reasonable hot with that white t shirt off

And I found it! I found it years ago at Victoria's Secret. It was called the Secret Embrace. It was the first bra made with no seams, no stitches, and no label so it was comfy as HELL. It had no push-up or unnecessary padding, so it gave me a great silhouette with no top or side boob spilling out. And it wasn't red hot, but it wasn't ugly either.

The bunch that I bought however many years ago were wearing out, so I went to VS to re-up. You can guess what happened. What else would they do with my Holy Grail bra? They discontinued it. They showed me the "latest edition" of my HG bra, called something else. It was the same great no stitch, no seam design, but in a demi cup with sewn-in pads that gave you tons of cleavage. Too bad that for every-day use I like my ladies IN my bra, not my cups runnuthing over.

I actually left the store. After finding the best bra ever and finding out it no longer existed, I couldn't bear the changing room. I hadn't found the support I was looking for. But then, with some extra time yesterday, I went back to try again. I basically took one of every bra in the store to the dressing room and got down to business. And I found her. I would wear her on a plane, in the rain, on the train, in a box, and definitely with a fox. This is actually one BETTER than the Secret Embrace because it DOESN'T HAVE UNDERWIRE!!!!! Helloooooo comfort. And it's prety, comes in lots of colors, and isn't heavily padded (just enough that the whole world won't know my feelings about central air conditioning). Since it doesn't have underwire, it probably won't work for you girls with God's special blessing. But for the rest: Victoria's Secret IPEX Wireless. I bow before thee.
