[RC] Revenge of the Bras! - Carolyn Burgess

I've been silent on this long enough.  I used to be of
the big boob variety (when my son was a toddler, one
of the cups of my bra would cover his head with room
to spare - yes, he would wear the bra on his head). 
After  20 years of having gouges in my shoulders from
bra straps, neck muscles that WWF wrestlers would kill
for and wearing two bras to horseback ride, I had a
breast reduction.  When I had the surgery, I was a
size 10 and I am 5'10" (BTW 10 years later I am still
a size 10) and my bra size was, roll the drums, a
36II.  It is very hard to get bras that size, period.
Let alone sports bras.  And when you are that size,
all bra manufactures figure that the rest of you is
that size as well.  I am now a 36C, on a good day,
sometimes a B+ depending on how much riding I have
been doing.  I can now, and have, ridden without a
bra. 

My insurance paid for the whole thing as being
medically necessary and I am still thrilled 10+ years
post surgery.

 I'm with you apleg8'n!!!!!!!!!  I don't know any of
you and I haven't done
an AERC---YET!

I have big boobs, I wear crushing sport bras from
Title 9, need to try some
of their new models.  I take draysage lessons on the
smoothest horse you
could ever expect to ride and I do appreciate the
tight sport bra!  I ridden
some smooth horses at the trot, still appreciate the
tight sport bra! 
Without it I'd be sore!  But how can one who hasn't
been there, won't be
there, ever really relate to us BB gals!!!! 
(secretly I think were jealous
but then I've been told the other side of the coin
is as jealous of us!  But
I haven't a clue how to share!)

Ya know Heidi, you are really gettin on me nerves
girl. The pencil test? And
if you stretch it falls out? I hope for both our
sakes I don't see you at
another ride dammit. 
 
Let me tell you about that stupid pencil test....
Not only could I hold up a
number two pencil, I could hold up a dang
volkswagon. Hrumph.
 
amber who did not get a boob job....KARLA!!! if I
did, I sure as heck would
ask for a dang refund!! And if you still don't
believe me, I will show you
at the Oregon Dunes and you be the judge. Plus I
want to see this vunder bra
of yours Karla at Dunes too. This could be a show
and tell ride. And if that
shyster Heidi shows up we will bury her.
 
 
 
 
 
I admittedly have a great deal of sympathy for my
over-endowed sisters,
and am eternally greatful that what I've got has
stayed sufficiently in
place to not require one of these contraptions for
the most part. Even
here at the half-century mark, I have only in the
last few years gotten
to the point of failing the "pencil test"--and even
then, if I stretch,
the pencil falls out. 
 
But again, I don't find that trotting is bouncy on a
good horse,
either...
 
Heidi
