I mean, how do you even follow up that poo post?

Happy Monday everyone! I was in bee-yutiful downtown Detroit for my step-sister-in-law's wedding this weekend. We just flew back and boy, are my arms tired....from pointing and staring at numerous examples of innapropriately showcased cleavage. It was black tie only and apparently, a number of women interpreted that as "Be sure to pick a dress that showcases the inner, lower quadrants of each breas."' My God, there was some perilous jiggling going on as we danced to Lou Bell and the Mystics. Myself, I wore a gorgeoso dress from White House/Black Market (I am SO Michelle Obama!) that was halter top, plunging neckline...but when you've got tiny tatas, you can get away with that. Right? Right?!?!?

I'm tired and don't have much to say but will be back soon. Four too many martinis and not enough muscle relaxants make Lolly a tired girl. Oh - one thing...anyone have any tips for keeping the blood flowing to my tush while on the recumbent bike? It's the one exercise I'm allowed to do and I tried it at the hotel gym and my butt went totally numb in about five minutes. I tried putting a towel under there, too. Do I just have a bony ass? Maybe I should ask Dr. J. about this?

Leaving on a funny note (because clearly, I am as boring as watching wallpaper dry when I'm tired and cranky from flight delays and brokedown public transportation): As we boarded the plane, there was a sign with a cartoon suitcase smiling and waving which read, "Am I too big?" There was a compartment for you to put your carry-on in t make sure it complied with FAA reagulations. Dan pointed it out and said, "Look, Lol, even suitcases have body image issues." Which really did seem funny at the time but just is not translating into BlogVision. So I shall say nightie night. See you tomorrow!

xo,

Wow, showcasing "the inner, lower quadrants of each breast?" I have no idea logistically how that's even done, but then my wardrobe runs heavily to t-shirts and sweatshirts so I'm somewhat cleavage-impaired.

Sorry to hear about the recumbent bike and the numb ass. I HATE exercise bikes and to be sentenced to one would make me want to give up exercise entirely.

Can't help on the bike, sorry! I can commiserate, though. I seem to have hurt my back, and just about all I can do is sit on the couch. Just walking is enough to put me in pain.

LOL to the baggage having body image issues. I think I'll watch my language in front of my dinner plates too from now on (sometimes I mutter out loud that my plates are too big and I really should get some smaller ones ... imagine what that's doing to their self-esteem!!)

I dont get the assnumb when I do the recumbent.
perhaps because Im not going fast and trying to focus on making it a leg (hamstring) workout?

not sure!

off to examine the lower quad o'my bazumbas and see if they want to be exposed.

back-in-the-day when i used to spin, I had the same prob and ended up getting a gel bike seat cover (they also have padded bike shorts). Wasn't 100% better, but didn't get snoozy-ass anymore.

You: "...halter top, plunging neckline...but when you've got tiny tatas, you can get away with that. Right? Right?!?!?"

Me: As a girl with Big Tatas who has of late been coming to terms with her bodacious body, I would like to state on behalf of all big-tata'd gals out there that nowadays with the current trends it can actually be really, really difficult to find a "sexy" dress that does not "showcase" the voluptuous girls. So, in terms of "getting away" with something, it's like, um, you can show off your girls because they're small, but we can't let ours be seen because they're big??

Which is also something larger people often have to deal with concerning Their Whole Bodies...

Anyways, if designers would design more cute/sexy dresses for the voluptuous of chest and make them easily accessible, I'd happily quit skanking my stuff, but until they do, I figure I'm allowed to "get away with" wearing what's available on the racks. Ha ha. Pun Intended.

I see Avi's point and love the pun too. :) I think our society does have a double standard when it comes to cleavage (Or at least most women do. men love seeing it all). I get uncomfortable when i see low plunging necklines on women with large tatas, even though, i myself, have big breasts too and know the struggle to look cute without looking skanky.

Ha ha! That's funny. And no, I have NO remedies for falling asleep ass. Mine falls asleep when I ride the regular bike. I hate it. My ass kills when I sit on the stupid train for 90 minutes too. So annoying.

Suitcase body image...you've got the man trained! :-)

Is there a way you can adjust your positioning on the bike to help, maybe? Sit farther forward or farther back or...something...?

Not sure how much help that is. :-(

nice point, Avi I was also speaking to the age-innapprorpiateness of the cleavage but you are correct, it shouldn't be "ok" for some of us and not OK for others.

Ok, so I'm a fellow small-chested woman and I pretty much wear what I want with no fear of cleavage spilling out, but I do wonder if people are thinking "Does she realize that she is completely flat chested and is showing it off?" So I actually don't showcase them as much as I maybe could.
