    Still on bras, are we?

    Ok you gals are killin' me. I didn't get a chance to read posts yesterday and just got the chance today. This bra thing has gone out of control. LMAO. And regarding the pencils, magic markers, chalkboard erasers......cars..... The only way I could hold a pencil or any other thing on my chest is if I was lying on my back. I prefer to think of mine as "perky". Thats a nice way of saying, "damn it would be good to overload an "A" cup.
    Well, in retrospect, I guess I will never have to worry about my cleavage overhanging my navel. Ewww...what a picture that is...sorry.

    I've seen that. I go walkabout sometimes out on the concourse (airport) and have been witness to nipples bouncing around the beltline.

    Anyway, I've never tried pencils or anything else. I don't like disappointment.

    Silly, the pencil goes UNDER the boob, not on top! The test when I was young and a hippy was that if you could hold a pencil there, you needed to wear a bra for support.

    Oh, in that case I guess I lost the bet. I can't hold a pencil let alone a chalkboard eraser. I thought we were talking how much we could fit between our cleavage. Hmmmm.... and you all thought that I could hold up a chalkboard eraser - hehehe laugh for the night. The only thing these babies could hold up would be a piece of tape with the adhesive firmly pressed to the skin

    I refuse to believe that nipples on ribcage can sag. Just plain old refuse to believe it. Sorry Zencentury. Denial is best.

    I had to look this up to figure out where the pencil went too..... I guess us little folks are just assumed to not need the test, so we never hear about it. (I was thinking like Flybye - how many you could stick in your cleavage, but I still couldn't hold up any pencils there either.... ) But even A cups prefer a little support, but stretchy without wires please .

    I am glad Lisa clarified the pencil test, yeah I fail. My mom blessed me with large ones - blessing ha! What I find insane is how many of my friends will talk about my breasts with envy. Three different gals this week alone. My college roommate used to joke that me drying my bras gave her an inferiority complex. Trust me I didn't ask for these and I would gladly share!

    Trust me, I am painfully aware that the pencil goes UNDER the boob. However.....I have very little...uh....how should I say this....overhang? And as far as support, well I think mine is to make them appear a little bigger than they are, and I don't like my nipples protruding through my t-shirt.

    "Mine" meaning my bra.

    The large boobs is one of the main reasons that I bike and don't run!! Big boobs and running just do not mix well together. I used to hate having to wear 2 bras when I ran. EVen with that they still would hurt. Give me my bicycle!!

    Oh, I tried going Au Natural today for my ride. Wasn't that comfortable with it. I'll give it a few more tries but I am thinking of buying a couple of pairs of those moisture wicking underpants to wear. I found some neat ones that I liked at exofficio.com.
