I like Dolly Parton too. She doesn't pretend that she hasn't has work done and like you said Strongirl she's totally light-hearted about it all, great personality! What I think her sex appeal is, again we've mentioned it before, CONFIDENCE. She has it in buckets and you can tell. She positively oozes it.

Aithinne, that is awesome news girl! Glad you are liking your boobies!

nbdx - yay you go girl!

Small boobs rock!

[nbdx0645]

Aithinne, that's so wonderful to hear. It made me smile. PS: I went to a concert this weekend and wore a cute fitted tee with a thin bralette underneath...and that didn't stop a guy from pulling me out on the dance floor. Yayee. I had so much fun.

[Aithinne]

I like Dolly too- she seems to be nobody's fool.


On a side note, a few days ago I was getting nekkie for a soak in the bathtub and saw myself in the mirror. I think I'm really starting to believe whole-heartedly that my boobies are perfect and purdy the way they are. I was very pleased to look in the mirror and enjoy the reflection. So there's my positive boobie story for the day..

[strongirl]

You know a big boob girl who I absolutely can't resist? Dolly Parton. She's been in the press some lately, I watched an interview with her in Nashville at the Grand Old Opry House, and boy, she is just as genuine, self-deprecating, and sweet a person as one can possibly be . She's completely fake looks-wise but she's not defensive about it - she says "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap!" If more people in the world had her kind and light-hearted perspective, life would be much much better and more fun. So I'm trying to channel my inner Dolly - kind, funny, and light but without the boobs, hair, and gallons of makeup. Ommm.....

Ok I'm back. Had to take a little boobie break. Had some body issues come up last week and I spiralled into depression etc for about 48 hours. Ironically it all stemmed from my bra shopping trip! Having a well fitting bra after spending almost 15 years in sports tops was quite a shock. At a 34B/32C I tried on both bra's and the *32 in the style I chose seemed to fit better. Well I suddenly had boobs (still small, but bigger than I was ever used to) and ended up forever feeling like it just wasn't right and because I am active I'd be adjusting it, whether it needed it or not. I know a lot of it was in my head. I switched back to sports tops and felt better. I need to make the adjustment gradually it seems. I'm starting out by only wearing the bra at night.

Kind of ironic considering I bought the bras to feel better about myself and give me a bit more self/body confidence.




*yet in other styles the B fit better, it really does depend a lot on the style of bra huh?

[strongirl]

I remember my grandmother, who was a wild flapper in the '20s, telling me about binding her breasts down in order to look slim and sophisticated and to fit into those way-cool dresses. When I tried on some of those dresses from an old trunk of hers when I was in my own twenties, they fit me perfectly and she said "Oh, I would have killed to have your perfect figure when I was that age!"

Buttercups, you do look like a porn star, some of the ones listed in here recently have little to no surrounding breast tissue. And they, and I'm sure you, are hawt!!!

Along that line, when you guys mentioned Melissa Ashley, I looked up her website to check her out but used my bf's computer rather than my work laptop. Recently he came upon the link when he was checking back on some stuff he'd done and opened it. He was so struck by her that he asked me the next day if the link was there from me since he didn't recognize it but apparently once he got there he spent some time because he now wants to check out some of her pay features together and I suspect he jo'd over her cuz I didn't get any that night. Her tag line is "the tiniest titties on the 'net". Love that!

[Aithinne]

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!

Aithinne, I am officially your biggest fan. Can I carry your books? Wash your car?

Whatever, I was your biggest fan first. But then again, I live out in the country so my car is always dirty. Lol!

[karategrrl]

On that other article where the girl said that men with bad eyesight and lights off can be your best friend.... fuck that!! I'll have sex with the lights ON, thank you very much. And if the guy doesn't like what he sees, he's perfectly welcome to get the hell out. Case closed.

It's time for us smallies to stop apologizing for our size. We don't need to 'make up for' our size, we don't need a stupid 'Mega Boost' bra to make us instantly bigger and worthy to go out on the town, and we don't need to feel inferior to bigger women. Any man who says otherwise needs to chop his dick off and shove it in his mouth because he won't be using it with the beautiful small-breasted woman with the lights on OR off.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!

The small boob vs big boob look definitely cycles. Women throughout the ages have altered and adorned their bodies to conform with the latest societal trends. Like enfermera said the 20's were definitely small boob city, with larger endowed ladies taping their boobs down to get "the look". Big boobs came back into fashion in the 40's/50's then it flipped again with the 60's and the Twiggy look. In the 70's natural was the look to go for, boobs swung free and easy and whatever you had was appreciated for being what they were, gloriously natural, whatever their shape/size. The 80's though saw the turn back to big boobs and the implants phase began and things kinda spiraled from there.

Ok upon checking this next bit over for spelling, I see that I kinda went off into a bit of rant then off on a tangent. But still posting it because I am working through some issues and I need to get it off my chest (pun fully intended)

I really don't think anyone can say that heels, make-up, hair dye, supportive underwear, or push up bra's etc are wrong because it's taking away womens right to choose, which is afterall what feminism is all about. Sure I agree, we don't NEED these things, but the fact is they are there should we CHOOSE to use them. What needs to change is the media's portrayal of these objects and of our breasts, not our individual opinions. Like has already been mentioned the before and after pics of the bra woman are ridiculous (but they do the same for weight loss products etc too). There are TONS of women (celebs and IRL) that are completely happy with small breasts, odd shaped breasts, no breasts etc, but the media portrays these women as abnormal and unfortunately this is what young boys and girls are led to believe and where pressure comes from. Heck when I was younger implants were unheard of, only for actresses/models, now it seems everyone is getting them. But not only that, it's that when they get them they are then considered "better". THAT IMO is what needs to change! They aren't "better" they are just different to what they were.

I used push up bra's a lot in my late teens/early 20's. Not to get a man but to make myself feel better. I had lots of body and personal issues to work through (still am to an extent) and they made me happier. I like wearing nice underwear what can I say? I considered implants sure, but I knew I couldn't do that to my body. Then I got into fitness and things fell into place for me... for a while. All my life I think I have fit myself into a mold of the person I thought people wanted to me to be, and when those people went away (we moved) and it was just me and my husband I realized something. I was 30 and didn't know who the fuck I was! I've done lots of soul searching in the past year or so (and some procrastinating) and I've come to the conclusion that I am going to create the new me. the person *I* want to be. This has meant working through some issues I still have with my breasts, and why I joined this board: To bounce (ha ha!) around idea's, to try and be happier with my breasts (I am most the time I swear!) and to help anyone else struggling with these issues. I like my breasts. They are small, but perky, the nipples are great and I love them being touched. But there is that little fucking voice in the back of my head telling me they aren't big enough, aren't good enough and that they aren't "normal". I just need to find some rope and duct tape and gag it the hell up!

Since about 1996 I wore bralets and sports bra's pretty much exclusively. This wasn't much of an issue to begin with but when we moved to America I saw my self confidence plummet. Sure there were other reasons too but I think one was that I didn't FEEL confident within myself. Like I said I've always felt happier with pretty underwear, it was always my one vice clothing wise. That's why this year I have been on a quest to make myself FEEL happier. Losing weight was one step, getting recertified another, and now trying to find my style and bring back feminine items into my wardrobe, including proper bra's. I don't want implants but they'll pry my push up bra's from my cold dead hands!

Oh and for the record I've never had a problem getting laid either with my smallies either! Quite the opposite Lights on, sober and 20/20 vision Oh and I've never needed to stop and tell the guy I have a push up bra on! Ridiculous! But then once I get going, I don't stop, lol! If a guy were to ever have a problem with my boobs, then he wouldn't be with me very long! I may have issues to work through, but I don't need someone else's too!

[enfermera]

I wonder if the day will ever come where there will be bras created to make girls look like me (not that I would wish it on anyone). I just had a funny thought when I was looking at those pictures wondering what it would look like if bras were created to give girls the "tiny boob" look. Maybe we should invent that!

this was popular in the 20's, buttercups! the flapper look included flat chests and straight figures, and women wore binders to flatten their breasts, and straight, drop-waisted dresses. the movie "thoroughly modern millie" shows julie andrews struggling with her large breasts, and wondering why rich girls always had flat chests that let their beads hang straight

truly, fashions cycle around, including popular body types; we just happen to be in the other end of the cycle.

I love that Aithinne, I totally agree! I'm so tired of feeling like I have to apologize for being so small and like it's something to be humiliated about. Why on earth do I feel like I should be humiliated? I guess one problem that I'm still struggling with is that I don't consider what I have to be breasts bc there really is almost zero breast tissue. If I had just small breasts I don't think I would feel as ashamed as I do to have pretty much nothing for a guy to grab onto but a nipple. That said, I do think my nipples are pretty cute, I just wish I felt like I could relate to the feeling of having some breasts. But should I have to feel like I owe other people an explanation for being made this way? I try to take the stance in my everyday life that it's really no one else's business what the hell I look like. I'm never going to be the "pornstar" looking girl and all you men out there are gonna have to deal with that!

Ugh those Mega Boost pictures really pissed me off. One of my main fantasies is for no body type to be considered better over another and for us all to be accepted no matter what, but I wonder if the day will ever come where there will be bras created to make girls look like me (not that I would wish it on anyone). I just had a funny thought when I was looking at those pictures wondering what it would look like if bras were created to give girls the "tiny boob" look. Maybe we should invent that!

[enfermera]

LMAO, that white shirt "after" picture is so clearly airbrushed it makes my eyeballs hurt. yay, now i can have my shirt unbuttoned halfway down to my navel? srsly?

and really. guy getting to touch your boobs=happy guy. push-up bras are so commonplace i can't imagine a guy needing a disclaimer. and if he's seriously turned off by your lovely, natural breasts, who needs him?

[angie_21]

I dunno who buys into that "false advertising" thing. Is wearing underwear that shapes your body is somehow a new invention? As if women typically go outside without doing their hair, wearing make-up and choosing clothes that work with their figure. If you're wearing heels are you "false advertising" your height? If I wear contacts am I false advertising my ability to see? Now personally I'd be happy if we could all just walk around naked and not feel the need to hide our bodies, I'd be the first girl out there, but unfortunately that's not the real world.

I didn't like that article either, but it's interesting to know how other size A's out there are thinking. It's sad. I would never feel the need to announce to a guy right before having sex that my boobs are smaller than they looked in my bra. Maybe I'll also announce that I'm 2 inches shorter than I looked before, now that my shoes are off. What guy would care? And what girl would simultaneously complain about guys giving her boobs too much attention during sex, while also thinking that guy must hate how small her boobs are? That doesn't even make sense.

[Aithinne]

Ugh, and that second set of pictures, where the girl is wearing the white shirt? In the left picture, she's got huge '80s glasses on to make her look like a complete social reject. There's more going on in these pictures than just showing cleavage. She's smiling in the 'cleavage' picture, and her hair is down and flowing. One more example of advertizing BS. Of course they couldn't have the girl in the same position, same hairstyle, smiling in both pictures, with just the cleavage difference. They have to make it out like the 'unenhanced' look is dorky, undesirable, unsexy, and not capable of being attractive. Personally I think her boobs looked better in the 'smaller' pictures. If she was smiling, she'd blow barbie-double out of the water. What a sickening ad. I think we busties should start our OWN line of bras, cute patterns (not just white, nude, or black), unpadded, no push up, and advertize them in a way that shows their UNENHANCED gorgeous beauty!

On that other article where the girl said that men with bad eyesight and lights off can be your best friend.... fuck that!! I'll have sex with the lights ON, thank you very much. And if the guy doesn't like what he sees, he's perfectly welcome to get the hell out. Case closed.

Starship, that bra sounds like the new VS one, except the VS one the padding is all built in not removable. Yep I am pretty pissed off with the whole "false advertising' thing lately. Wearing a padded bra is no different to dying your hair, wearing make-up or spanx IMO. You are changing your original look into something different. Albeit temporarily. What about corsets? they squeeze in your waist falsely but no-one tells Dita Von Teese that she's false advertising!

Oh I need to go get some work done...

[starship]

Honestly, I'm getting pissed off with the amount of people claiming padded bra's are false advertising when these are the same people dying their hair, having botox injections (Or worse - implants!), and applying make-up! Let's face it, unless you're the kind of woman that doesn't do any of those then it's changing your appearance in a way to display a different view. In my argument on the other board I likened it to those supportive underwear that suck in your gut (spanx?). People actually agreed that they were infact the same.

The issue is that the OP figured us smallies pad because we want to attract men, when in fact we pad to feel more confident or more sexy for OURSELVES. Why do people assume it's for the man's benefit? Chaps my hide!!!

http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/femail/artic...es-seconds.html -was looking at this today a lot of the comments on this talked of 'false advertising' which is a phrase that annoys me too. one guy asked how we'd feel if we met a 'hunk at the beach with a big package' and later found out it was all padding lol. the pictures annoyed me too (like how they made the woman without padding look all depressed and the implication that boobs are some party accessory not suitable for an office environment etc). And the fact that this was considered newsworthy in the first place:S...

angie those bralettes are so cute & its good to know what the sizing's like too, off to la senza for me:)

[Allison-Shine]

I read that article, Spot-on, and I must say I didn't care for it much. Very amusing but the writer is long on wit and short on wisdom. And I found this line downright insulting:

"And every A-cupper knows that the dark, like a moderate amount of alcohol or a near-sighted lover, can be your best friend. "

I beg your pardon? Like smallies can't get laid without dark, or men being drunk or blind? That's truly offensive and I can asusre you I've never had any problems getting laid in the absence of all of those.

Pphhfftt.

WTF????
WTF????
W...T...F!!!!!!

That is a new low, even worse than being classified as a little girl or any other superficial or ignorant comment I have ever heard.

Like strongirl, a guy would never have to have alcohol-induced or 20/100 vision to want to try to get into my pants or up my skirt. Whateva !

[spot-on]

Oh totally agree with that POV, I enjoyed some parts and not others just the same (as I do with most articles honestly). I did like the attitude towards padded bra's though and the authors internal struggle with it, and it's something that we discussed recently. The reason I posted it is because we were having a convo on another board about the new VS bra. The OP said that she felt sorry for men, because they didn't know what they were getting and it was false advertising. Something we've kinda touched on here in the recent days. I guess I just wanted those of our smallies who DO pad not to feel bad and offer support.

I realized after I wrote that that it might sound like I'm being negative or un-appreciative towards you, Spot-on, so I wanted to hurry to say that I didn't mean it that way at all. I appreciate you sharing it and I enjoyed reading parts of it, I just wanted to get my 2 cents worth in before other smallies go internalizing some of that chick's f'd up views against small breasts.
