Ok, so I have to admit that sometimes I'm a total flake. My mom has always told me that this is a trait of being a genius. Creativity and genius comes at a cost she says...but sometimes I just feel like an idiot..... ok, of course I'm exaggerating....but put yourself in my six inch heals for a moment and try to deny that you wouldn't feel like an idiot...just for a moment.... totally out of touch with my body, my lifelong challenges, my passion and my career....
I have lop-sided boobs...a common problem right? And as a result, its impossible to get bras to fit right..... and then you have escaping boobs!! Unless you are wearing your grandmothers bra, you are always in danger of the escaping boobs!! They are jumping ship at the most inopportune times and you look lumpy, sloppy, and even worse have a wardrobe malfunction. And, I don't know about you, but I'd rather keep my clothes on...until I'm ready to take them off .... now granted this is usually at inappropriate times, but its on my terms.
So, I'm at work this weekend and I'm really happy with my outfit....ankle-hi, 4-inch boots with a kind of decoupage pattern of vintage style magazine covers; waist cincher style, ankle length black cotton skirt; and a white button-up blouse with a plunging neckline and lots of cleavage. And, of course, I spend a good portion of my day pushing my precariously placed boobs back into my bra and blouse. I mean come on!! The bra fits right and as long as I stand still my boobs look great....but damn reality requires me to move...you know walk, bend, lift....And my boobs are just not cooperating.
I'm standing in front of the mirror adjusting myself (again), when Sir recommends Duct Tape. Great, I'll use duct tape thats a great idea. Only one problem...no duct tape. Then it hits me....Hollywood fashion tape!! God, how could I have been missing this for the past year? We sell Hollywood fashion tape that is specifically designed to hold your clothes in place and not hurt when you take it off. It comes in lots of shapes and styles to fit whatever need you have ... hold your bra strap in place; hold your tag down; keep your nipples from showing through your t-shirt; you get the idea.... Its not that brilliant of an idea and we have a display.... So, my light comes on and I momentarily feel like a complete idiot for not utilizing the products that we sell!!
And just in time too... after taping my boobs perfectly into place, we were off to walk the streets of Fells Point, hang out with some friends, run of to Little Italy for dinner and then to a movie. |
