This is my second time blogging about bras. What is it with me and bras sef? The first time I blogged about bras, I was blogging about strapless bras – the day that my mother confidently asked for a sleeveless bra.<\/span><\/a><\/strong> What on earth is a sleeveless bra?!<\/p>\n

Tomorrow (Friday, April 18th) is Uju’s birthday. Her boyfriend suggested that we all take her out. I’m fine with this idea, of course. My only problem is that she has not given me my birthday gift yet, and I am seriously considering suing her to court. My birthday was 3 months ago, and she has been turning me up and down. You might think that she is not obligated to give me a birthday gift, but I believe otherwise. I’m pretty sure she does not want me to forcefully take it. If I do not receive my birthday gift in the nearest future, she will be sorry. She kuku knows what I am capable of.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Anyway, I went to Macy’s today in search of a push-up bra. I patrolled the entire lingerie section fruitlessly. I figured I must have been looking in the wrong section, so I asked one of the staff. She pointed a different area of the lingerie section for me to check out. I looked through the place, and indeed found a lot of push-up bras, but none that came in my size. Instead, I was constantly attacked by size 32A. What the heck is that?! Is that even a size?? Seriously, should 32A cups even wear bras? Maybe that’s what is stunting the growth of the breasts sef. Why on earth will someone with a 32A cup even wear a bra? You should let the breasts be free and be merry.<\/p>\n

If you look at the picture very well, you will notice that by the left side of the bra, there is a before and after picture. The before picture is called, ‘THEN’ and the after picture is called ‘WOW’. Well, eventually, I found a push up bra. I wore it @ Macy’s, and it didn’t seem bad. I came home and tried it on with the top I intend to wear on Friday, and my result was not WOW. It was more like WOW x WOW x WOW x WOW. Okay, so I guess I understand why push-up bras don’t really come in my size. In other words, tooooo much breasts were flying all over the place. Alright, maybe not all over, but darn, I don’t wanna mistake my own breasts for big, round yellow stress balls. I assume that the pain that stress balls go thru is way too much for my breasts to bear. I don’t think any amount of anesthesia will be strong enough. I don’t even wanna find out.<\/p>\n

I took a picture of my breasts with the push-up bra and sent it to Funmi for her viewing pleasure. I am yet to get a reply. On one hand, the bad chic in me (if she is not a figment of my imagination) wants to wear the push-up bra, but on the other hand, the good girl in me (the one I know definitely exists, lol) does not want to wear it. I’m so torn and confused. I don’t want a situation where I’m constantly tugging at my shirt and trying to cover up. That would be silly.<\/p>\n

I have to confess that I do admire women who wear push-up bras. They usually look nice (not all of them, of course), but can Vera actually be woman enough to do it? I don’t think so oooo. I have been known to be a chicken, and I am proud to admit that I am indeed a chicken. Wetin man [woman] go do?<\/p>\n

Note to Uju (and all other people who owe me gifts; you know yourselves), here is a list of perfumes you should get me. You’re welcome to get me more than one. And uhm, I’ll prefer the gift sets ooooooo. *coughs* I went out of my way to provide the prices of the gift sets for you. You can thank me later.<\/p>\n
